About Catherine

Hi there, I am an enhance DBS holding 19 year old animal lover who has lived with, cared for and worked around all kinds of animals my whole life. 

I have a strong passion for the health, welfare and happiness of all animals. 

I have many pets - guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters and a dog. I have also previously owned cats and love nothing more than making their lives the best they can be. 

Most of my pets are rescues and as such they have additional needs, or medical conditions. I love taking care of them and providing the life they deserve. 
This also means that I have experience handling and giving medication, managing illnesses and supporting recovery. 

I have completed Weston college's level 3 animal management course that partners with puxton park where I gained further experience with a wide variety of animals, from pets and exotics to larger animals. I also volunteered at Lawrence Weston community farm in a hands on role with all of the animals they care for and have worked as a yard hand in a local stable caring for horses, cleaning the yard and picking the paddocks. 


All my experience with animals has grown my passion for them, and taught me about different species and their behaviours. I continue to learn from my experiences everyday. 

The services that I can offer are:

Pet sitting: 

This is where I come to you and look after your pet/s. 

I understand the importance of a routine and am happy to stick to what you know works for your pet/s. 

I can spend time with them, walk them, play with them, clean out any enclosures and/or administer oral medication if needed. 

Pet visits: 

I will happily come and spend time with your pet/s and let them out to the toilet, feed them or clean them out for a 30 minute session. 

I can do these visits once or twice a day.  Visits can be longer or shorter to suit your needs. Can possibly do more times a day of needed. 

Dog walking: 

I can collect and drop off your dog/s and can take them on a local walk or go further afield (woods ect.)
The walk lasts 1 hour but am happier to do longer or shorter walks if required. I will only ever have your dog/dogs-1 clients pets at a time. Contact me for details.

Catherine has been really helpful with last minute visits for our two young indoor cats. They seem to really like her, and when she has time she sends us pictures where they look very happy and playful. Thanks again Catherine!
