Pet care experience
I started dog sitting about 10 years ago for my neighbors and discovered Rover about 6 years ago. I’ve had experience with all breeds, sizes and age groups, as well as various species such as cats, rats, snakes, turtles and guinea pigs. I have learned to administer medicine orally or injections. I understand puppies and high energy dogs well and I’m more than willing to give your pet the right care they need. I like to take my regulars on longer walks or even trips to the beach or a park near by - but only once I feel confident in my knowledge of their behavior and reactions. I have a Bacherlor's in Biology from Queens College and I'm currently pursuing my Masters in Biology focusing on animal ecology, behavior and conservation. I was a zookeeper for about a year at the Staten Island Zoo where I cared for various species from reptiles to hawks, and learned about diets and proper handling. I’ve been an animal lover all my life and I just want to allow owners to travel and feel that their loved one is in good caring hands <3 Shoot me a message with more questions and regarding my availability ! -Catalina M.

Reviews
Catalina went above and beyond with my dog. I was impressed with her expertise and professionalism. Don’t hesitate to book with her. Rover is lucky to have someone like her on their platform.
We needed a dependable walker in the area and Catalina came to the rescue. She was able to support most of our dates, and also found us coverage for the days she was not able to do the walk. She was patient with our needy pup, and got her out on some good healthy walks and put our minds at peace. We will be using her service again and highly recommend her to others.
Catalina always does an amazing job walking our pup and I couldn’t be more thankful to see the love and attention she gives him when he’s with her. And the cherry on top is her great photos always! Highly recommend!
Catalina is the best we could ask for. She’s always on time, attentive and most importantly always gives lots of love and care to Maximus. Thank you for always being so great.

Information Catalina T. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting any dog I want to know if they are house trained and if they're prone to accidents if separated from their humans. Also any specific needs or if medicine needs to me administered. I will only take in non territorial/protective un-neutered males.
A typical day
With 3-4 walks a day there are endless possibilities of where to go! There's Hoover Park just a few blocks away, the fancy homes always make a scenic walk, Forest Park and Willow Lake are also not too far. Since I have a car (and a set of doggie seatbelts) I've even gone to Fort Totten, Flushing Marina, Central Park, Prospect Park and even Vermont with some dogs! There will be LOTS of cuddles (as if you couldn't tell from the photos) and lots of spoilage!
