I work from home & here to help :)
Pet care experience
I love being around animals; they're so therapeutic! And lucky for me, I work from home so I could spend all day with your babies :) They are welcome to cuddle with me while I work and watch animal-planet in the background (unless it negatively triggers them). I take frequent breaks to walk & play because I need the breaks as much as they do. I also enjoy meditating next to cats & dogs because I've noticed that they harmonize with our calm energy <3
Reviews
Catalina was so sweet and reliable . Love her communication with me throughout the visit . Will book again! ?
Catalina is a great dog sitter. She stayed in our apartment for 4 nights with our pup, Hank, who is a 1.5 yr old, ~75 lb, mixed breed. With lots of pics and videos, good communication, and attention to our (ridiculously long) “Hank care document”, Catalina made us feel like Hank was in good hands. She took him on tons of fun adventures AND made time to play with him in the apartment. I am confident that Hank was a happy pup while we were away, and I highly recommend Catalina as a responsible and attentive dog sitter who really knows how to care for and connect with your fur baby.
Catalina was AMAZING! She took the best care of our Rigby with plenty of long walks, snuggles, and play time. She was engaging and was sure to update us and send us plenty of pictures and videos while watching our pup. Catalina was great and we can't wait for her to watch Rigby again. We highly recommend Catalina. Thank you!!
Catalina is amazing. Not only did my dog fall in love with her instantly but she is a very caring and a great communicator. I felt right at ease leaving my 3 month old puppy with her. I get great free back and she is great at accommodating and helping me work with her for the best time and adjusting times. My schedule sometimes changed last minute and I know how frustrating that can be. I really appreciate finding such a great person to walk and feed my puppy. I highly recommend this amazing person for your pups

When I'm with your babies, you could expect the following: - I LOVE taking & sharing pictures (please let me know if I get annoying hehe). Whenever your babies are under my care: I'll send you a pic when I get there, during our time together, and when I'm parting from them. - When I'm house sitting and/or dropping by, they are free to hang & cuddle with me as I work from my PC and I'll play & walk them throughout the day. - I always travel with my pet 1st aid kit, water & bowl, organic & gluten-free treats, and extra toys (I mean, who doesn't like playing with new toys?) - I also travel with my inflatable mattress & pillows, so you don't have to worry about anyone sleeping in your bed :)
Information Catalina D. would like to know about your pet
*** PLEASE NOTE: I could only take clients in East Boston UNLESS there's free parking or reimbursed for parking at a lot near your house *** PLEASE INFORM ME if your pup doesn't play well with other animals and/or humans, so I could avoid dog parks and other dogs/humans during our walks. It's important to know about any medical issues, anxieties, triggers, and their vet's info (in case of an emergency but God forbid). Rover will sometimes add fees for extended dog-sitting stays but I will adjust them from my end :)
A typical day
Pets get antsy at home, so I like to stimulate them with a lot of play and long walks. I feel bad that they don't have the freedoms we have, so I don't like to rush them. Eastie is blessed with great walking paths, so there are plenty of spots for your dogs to sniff & explore. I love taking pictures and will send you frequent updates of your fur-babies

I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. I also have experience caring for my family & friends' adorable fur-babies. I enjoy taking long walks with pups and I’m very patient when they want to sniff & mark their territory everywhere because I sympathize that they're usually stuck inside. Fortunately, East Boston has gorgeous walking paths and a nearby dog park for us to explore.
