Pet care experience
I have always been the chosen “furry sitter” for all my friends and family, they have even brought their pets from another country so I can take care of them for long periods. I am an animal activist, I believe all animals can speak if you’re willing to listen. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies and I don’t descriminate on size or breed, the bigger the pup the bigger the heart. I have 2 dogs and one cat, all rescued. I will pamper and love your pet in your absence since I know how hard it is to be away from them and mostly for them. Some say I get along with furry ones more than humans, it’s a fact. I am very patient and caring. My goal is to be there for them when you can’t and provide all the love and care they are accustomed to. My cat is a diabetic, so I also have experience administering shots as he needs insulin twice a day.
Reviews
Catalina was wonderful. She checked in on time every day - my cat has a pretty extensive feeding regimen and needs to stick to a schedule - checked in and left me a detailed note after each visit, and sent the best photos! I was very nervous leaving him in the care of a stranger but felt immediately less worried upon meeting Catalina and with the daily check-ins, felt completely confident that my boy was in good hands. I’ll definitely be using Catalina for future care!
Catalina did a great job taking care of our two dogs! She sent lots of pictures and updates and was very accommodating! Thanks!
Catalina is the best!! It was so fantastic being able to travel and know that mine and my parents cat were getting the best care possible. And of course it’s always a treat getting photos when you miss your fur babies! Thank you from Lacey and Lily and the fam!
Catalina was absolutely wonderful, super quick to respond and reassuring that everything was good with our fur babies. Catalina is calm, friendly, and very patience with cats. We have one indoor and one outdoor cat and she took wonderful care of both of our cats and made them feel safe while we were away. She went above and beyond, and I would definitely use her services again. Thank you, Catalina!

Safety, trust & environment
I am super respectful of your fur babies and your home. What you say goes, shoes off when coming in? No problem, you need a little watering of your plants while I’m there! Absolutely! They have to eat too!!
Information Catalina E. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs, no matter the breed or size, what I see is their soul. Id like to get to know what your pup prefers so I can accommodate to his or her needs, where they like to be pet, do they like to snuggle? Or are they more into their personal space?, their favorite games, foods, the more info I have on them the better relation we can create between us.
A typical day
I believe in walks where we can burn all that energy but also stop and smell the roses, walks should be enjoyable and uplifting. But if your pup is more laid back, our activities together can be more relaxed. Like Netflix and chill! I have experience with senior pups (mine is 17 years young) and I know that a slow pace is important for their enjoyment, so we can take all the time in the world to make the experience better. Love playing ball, hide and seek, belly rubbing or just a good old sit down and chat, I love to communicate with animals and ultimately listen to what their eyes have to say. Did I mention I’m great with cats too? I have an 16year old cat he is a diabetic kitty but with love and a little insulin he is doing great! I have been the sitter of many many cats over the years. We get each other.
