Your Pet’s New Best Friend!

I’m originally from Delray Beach, FL, and moved to Northern Virginia a couple years ago. I’ve always loved dog-sitting and used to do it all the time in Florida. My boyfriend and I live together, and we’re both huge dog lovers. We usually alternate days working from home, so your pup will always have someone around. Plus, we enjoy taking dogs on long walks in the neighborhood and to the local dog park. We don’t have a pup in the home currently so we love having one around.

Catalina and her partner were incredible watching our Buster! He had the best time and really enjoyed his week long stay. I highly recommend these two for boarding, they were so flexible and sent us so many pictures and really put our minds at ease having to leave Buster for a full week! Thanks again!

So happy we chose Catalina & Joel. They were awesome with our Dog Molly! Great communication, lots of exercise and lots of attention/love, and we felt like she was in great hands the entire time!

I had a really good experience with this sitter! This was my first time using a pet-sitting service, so I was a little nervous about leaving my cat with someone new.They treated her really well, and she seemed to feel very comfortable and happy staying with them. I got regular updates and photos. They also helped with dropoff and pickup, which made everything much easier for me. I’m really grateful for how caring and helpful they were, and I would definitely recommend and use the service again!

Doggy Day Care • Nov 22, 2025

Catalina and Joel took such great care of my American Bully, Fred. I was searching very last minute for a pet sitter and they graciously took him in for the day. I cannot thank them enough!

Schedule

I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take the dogs out whenever they need—whether it’s for a walk, some playtime, or just to stretch their legs. I’m available mornings, midday, afternoons, and evenings, so I’ll make sure their needs are always met.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your home like it’s my own! Just let me know the house rules and your dog’s routine, and I’ll stick to them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or bedtime routines, I’ll make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for.

A typical day

I love getting outside with dogs—whether it’s for a walk in the neighborhood or a trip to the dog park. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and love, with 2-3 walks a day and lots of attention.

Tell me a little about your dog! What’s their breed and age? What’s their daily food routine? Do they have favorite toys? What is their usual sleeping routine? How many walks do they usually go on? The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel right at home.
