I have not heard it used anyway but literally, namely meaning someone who catches stray dogs. People do not like to have their dogs caught since they have to pay a fine to get them back and they may worry about the dog when it does not come home. Also dogs that are not picked up after a time are put to death and this idea makes the dog catcher seem to be an unsavory character like an executioner. The prevalent term today is animal control officer which is more accurate since dogs are not the only problem animal which they deal with. Some animal control officers may object if you call them a dog catcher.
