About Catherine

I'm a recent PhD graduate that has some spare holiday time before I start my new job, and would love to spend it around some wonderful pets! I am used to having pets in my home, where my family have had pets all my life, and we have also fostered (from puppies to old dogs, and kittens to old cats).

I am happy to work with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats. If your pet requires any medications, that shouldn't be a problem, including giving them pills. Just explain in advance. 

I have been on pawshake for several years, throughout my PhD and most of my Pawshake bookers have been repeat customers, and it has really been a pleasure getting to know all of their pets and forming a bond with them. 

I don't have much experience with small rodents, ferrets or rabbits, but I have nothing against looking after them, if you will supply me with a list of instructional and do's and don'ts.

Prior to booking I always like to do a pre-meet in the home of the pet owner, at the owners explicit invitation. I have found that this helps put both the owner and the pet at ease, as the pet isnt quite so confused at this stranger suddenly arriving in their terrirory. Once this has happened, you can then make your decision if you want to go ahead and book me or not. I am also used to getting 2-3 pages of instructions on the care of your pets. We can't help but over prepare for the care of our loves ones.

I was a first time Pawshake user and it was such a great experience to have Catherine stay with our cat, Chicca. She took really good care of her and gave us regular updates. I’d definitely recommend her.
