Catherine has looked after my 1.5 year old female dog (Piika) on numerous occasions. I have to travel for work for extended periods of time (months at a time) and I always trust my dog with Catherine. Piika is always happy to be looked after by Catherine. Catherine is responsible and caring and provides attention and love to my dog when I am away. I know Piika will get plenty of exercise, eat well and be loved when she is being looked after by Catherine.
