Highlights
Pet care experience
Coffee and animals are my passion ☕
I’ve been in the zoo field for 6 years caring for a range large exotic animals, adhering to many safety protocols and have a high standard for cleanliness. I will never say no to any of my friends or family who need a pet sitter unless I’m completely out of the state! I studied veterinary biomedical sciences and wildlife and fisheries sciences in college. During my time there I would pet sit for many colleagues and customers, now friends, I met during my time in the restaurant industry! I also was a sitter/assistant trainer for my roommate who took on training a yellow lab to become a service dog. I have years of training, handling and animal welfare experience! Trust me when I say I can handle any and all pets ☺️

Safety, trust & environment
I currently own two cats, one 9 year old Tuxedo named Nachito and a 1.5 year old multi colored shorthair named Taquito, together they are Los Ito’s ♥️ Both are neutered males, updated on all of their vaccines and get regular check ups. We rescued Taquito when he was only 5 weeks ago and I have previous newborn kitten experience when it comes to bottle feeding and helping them go potty! We have multiple litter boxes, scratching posts, beds and cat trees both inside our apartment and on our patio so they can relax comfortably in either environment. We 2 water fountains, a toy box full of toys, treats, catnip, hairbrush, nail clippers, laser pointers, ear solution, shampoo, harness and leashes, etc. Nachito does enjoy the occasional walk around the neighborhood as long as it’s not too hot out for him 🤗 We’re in a 2 bedroom apartment but once we can move somewhere bigger we’ve already discussed getting a dog(s) as well!
Ratings and reviews
Great work!!!! The best!!
Catalina is amazing! Quick to respond and takes fantastic care of my dog. I'm always a little nervous leaving my dog when we're out of town but I'm completely at ease when she's there.
Catalina is amazing! She's very responsive and takes great care of my dog and house.
Catalina was great. Took great care of our little guy and provided regular updates with photos and video. Will absolutely work with her again!
I can't recommend Catalina enough! This was our second time booking her, and once again, she was exceptional. She was always punctual, responsive, and communicated clearly and in a timely manner. I especially appreciated the daily pictures and videos of our cat, Jessie—it was so reassuring to see how happy and well-cared-for she was. You could really tell that Catalina genuinely loved our cat, and Jessie absolutely adored her too! If you're looking for someone reliable, loving, and attentive to your pet, Catalina is the one you want. We’ll definitely be booking again!
Catalina was fantastic! She stepped in for another sitter at the last minute and was super responsive and took great care of our dog and our house. Thanks Catalina!
