Catalina is the best! She’s trustworthy, dependable, and, most importantly, incredibly loving with our dogs. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in such caring hands when we’re away. Our pups absolutely adore her, and we always come home to happy, well loved dogs. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Highly recommend her 100%! 🐾❤️

Catalina L. is one of the most caring, trustworthy, and compassionate people I know. She has a natural ability to make both people and pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Anyone leaving their pets in her care can feel confident knowing they will be treated like family. She is dependable, attentive, and always goes above and beyond to provide great customer service and communication. What makes Catalina truly special is her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals. She is simply an awesome human being with a big heart, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for safe and loving pet care.

I’ve known Catalina for a few years now and since the first time I met her you can tell the love and connection she has with dogs. Since my first time until now it has been always a wonderful experience ! She always takes great care of my dog Max. Communication is excellent, with regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog always comes home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared. She genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. I really appreciated the attention to detail, patience, and the safe, comfortable environment she provides. I will absolutely continue booking Catalina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter!

If you want someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely loving to care for your fur babies, you could not find a better person than Catalina. She is the ultimate animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs, and her natural connection with animals is immediately obvious. Our dogs absolutely adore her, and she treats them with the same love, attention, and care that we do. Catalina is the only person we fully trust with our two dogs whenever we are out of town. She is dependable, communicative, and attentive to every detail, which gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. She doesn’t just “watch” pets.... she truly engages with them, making sure they are comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. She consistently goes above and beyond, whether it’s sticking to routines, giving extra playtime and affection, or being mindful of each dog’s unique personality and needs. Our dogs are always excited to see her, and we come home to happy, well-cared-for pets every time. Catalina treats every animal as if they were her own, and any pet would be in excellent hands with her.
