Pet care experience

Work from home animal lover!

I am a former doggy daycare manager which brings me lots of experience working with many dogs at the same time, ranging from all breeds and sizes. I am also Pet CPR and First-Aid certified. I am an energetic individual with lots of love for animals of all shapes and sizes! I believe a pet is a part of the family and should be treated as such. I will follow any and all instructions provided for your loved one(s)! I currently have one dog that loves to play with other dogs and loves going to dog parks. I also have experience in administering insulin to diabetic dogs and topical treatment in ears, paws, wounds, and eyes. All pets are given the care and love they need - rain or shine, day or night. I am very patient with animals and will care for any animal you may need help caring for. I have experience in house sitting for weeks at a time with no issues and will leave your home in excellent condition. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies! I live in a 100% drug-free and child-free home with a fenced backyard. Any and all puppy play will be supervised as I work from home full time.

She sent photos and updates, and clearly made my girl feel at home. We will use Cat again!

Cat & Joe is nothing short of amazing! Constantly checking in with pictures and well being. She took phenomenal care of our lil baby. Her communication was gentle and direct. Ideal dog sitter. Thank you for opening up your home and taking great care of him.

I appreciated Catalina's diligence in making sure all the pups got alone before his first visit. The meet n greet helped ease my mind. Barli had a great first day with her and her puppies and was in great energetic spirits when I picked him up. We look forward to returning to see Catalina!

Cat is the best! I have known her for 6 years and she is conscientious and loving and treats my 4 legged family members as her own. I can't say enough good things about her.

I work from home full time where I can keep a close eye on all pets in my care. We do not travel often and love having extra paws in our home!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard with lots of space for everyone to run around and go potty. I have one dog-friendly dog that loves to play or lounge around. We have space in our home for crates or beds if you’d like to crate them at night or if we’re away for a few hours.

Is your pet friendly with other dogs? What type of medication does your pet need? Are they house trained? Are they crate trained? Are they allowed on furniture? What rules/training do I need to keep consistent with them? Do they have any behavioral concerns I should be aware of? (Resource guarding, food aggression, separation anxiety, etc.)
