Catalina and her family were great dog sitters. Our dog, Buddy, stayed for 4 nights. He got lots of attention. Catalina sent pics and updates. I would absolutely recommend them and have Buddy stay with them in the future.

Catalina and her family took such great care of Thor! They sent tons of pictures of Thor playing with their kids, out in the yard and enjoying long walks. Thor came back happy and tired from his stay! We can’t wait for Thor’s next stay here!

Shusha had a great time with Catalina and her family! She was well cared for, got plenty of walks and attention, and came back happy and relaxed. Communication was easy, we got many photos and I felt reassured the whole time. Highly recommend!

We were tremendously grateful to have found Catalina to care for our German Shepard “Isha”. As her caretaker for 14 days Catalina was meticulous in the care and attention to the needs of Isha. Daily walks and backyard exercise with the entire family kept Isha fully entertained. Catalina gave us daily updates and pictures of Isha playing with her children. We don’t believe Isha ever felt any separation anxiety bonding well with get fostering family. We highly recommend Catalina. She and her family are one of the best dog caretakers we work with. Truly a pleasure for us and Isha as well.

Schedule

Every morning my husband walks our youngest to daycare, they’ll be excited to have some company. Kids love to play with pets when they’re back from school. So your pet will always have someone to play with! English and Spanish spoken at home.

We have a big fenced yard for your pet to play and there are tons of dogs in the neighborhood so your pup can meet new friends whenever we go out for a walk.

A typical day

We are a family of 5 who loves the outdoors. Every weekday morning my husband goes on a walk with our youngest to drop her off at school. I work from home most of the time and after I pick kids up after school they love to play in our backyard or go on a bike ride.

Please let me know if your pet needs special care or medicines. I have a lot of practice with kids medicines (lol). My last pet was an English Mastiff and she lived a happy life for 13 years. At the end she had trouble walking and playing and we took great care of her.
