Pet care experience
I am a passionate, dynamic, reliable and responsible dog handler. I have homed and trained 3 dogs from pup to adult. I have dealt with both passive and dominant personality/behavior styles. I am also a nurse by trade, AKA, a natural care giver, nurturer, with a heightened awareness to needs of animals and people on a holistic level. A dogs quality of life is of my focus and joy; my ability to connect with a dog is unparalleled. Dogs have always been an important part of my life for physical, mental and emotional health and well-being. Near my home is the safe and beautiful Edworthy park where I walk, socialize and create relationships with dogs and their owners. I also often drive to off leash dog parks. I do have a medium sized, 5yr old dog of my own (Aila) who assists me in training, socializing and being a companion for your beloved dog. She has a motherly touch and always eager to play. Aila loves spending her time doing agility training and learning new tricks! Recreational Activities: I volunteer regularly at Pawsitive Match Animal Rescue organization. This allows me to gain ample experience with both rescued dogs and cats who are under stress and transition to their forever home. Weekly I attend agility classes with my dog Aila. This allows us to expand our channels of communication, express Aila's abundance of energy and create a more connected relationship between dog and handler.

Reviews

My Jemma has such a great time, and I love the regular texts and photos when I'm away. Catriona's place is her second home!

The photos each day are so helpful to know my Jemma is happy and having fun.

Always a pleasure and our Lily loves your place. Thank you.

Catriona is amazing. We could not ask for better care. Nikita was so happy!!
