Highlights
Pet care experience
All fur welcome!
Hi! My name is Cat, I have been pet-sitting for 18+ years. The first thing you should know about me is animals are my passion! No outfit is complete without fur! I am very organized and keep a clean and sanitary home. A bath can be given upon request. I keep all dogs leashed while outdoors and I am skilled in administering any necessary medications as well as diabetic insulin injections. I work from home which allows me to offer plenty of attention and bathroom breaks. I love all animals as if they are my own and I am not new to busy puppies, overly-enthused fur-friends, and the older generation in need of extra care and comfort. Always happy to send plenty of photos. I look forward to hearing from you!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Catarina was great! She sends tons of pictures and videos and updates. This was the first time I had a non family member watching my dog and I was definitely nervous going in. But after the first day I realized it was like a vacation for the dog as well. I wish I could give more than five stars, absolutely perfect!
Catarina took excellent care of our dog for a little over two weeks. We loved getting photo and video updates and it was clear he had a great time!
Cat is amazing! She cared for our (brand new) puppy for a few days while were away, which is not something that everyone is comfortable with! It was a little nerve wracking dropping off a new puppy but I felt 100% confident that Carib would be well taken care of and loved. Cat sent photos and videos which we really appreciated. I would definitely use Cat again. She was awesome!
Catarina was awesome! One minute after meeting her, we fully trusted her to care for our puppy. When we returned, our pup was super happy and tired… the perfect combo. We will definitely have Cat dogsit again!
Catarina is an incredible pet sitter! This was our first time leaving our dog with a professional sitter and Catarina made it a wonderful experience for our dog and us. She sent us daily photo/video updates, which gave us peace of mind, and responded quickly to any messages. Our dog bonded with Catarina right away, and enjoyed exploring the large yard and staring at the chickens. It honestly seemed like a vacation for our dog. We will definitely hire Catarina again!
Catarina did a great job taking care of our Catahoula Leopard dog. There's a large yard with a pond at Catarina's place in Redding, so Maggie felt very comfortable. She had a good time with Catarina's very playful dog Truffle. Maggie had never spent time around a cat before, but amazingly she also got along fine with Catarina's very friendly feline Steve. We could tell that Maggie liked being there, because she gave Catarina a lick on the face as we were leaving. We hope that Catarina will be available the next time we need somebody to take care of Maggie for a night.

Schedule
Caring for animals is my full-time position which means I will be available to their care and needs all hours of the day throughout their stay in my home. I only accept one household of pets at a time for stays in my home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a full fenced in backyard which was built for the purpose of providing off leash playtime to the dogs I look after while simultaneously providing their owners with some peace of mind.
Pets
A typical day
I provide daily walks for animals used to a schedule as well as off-leash playtime in a full fenced backyard. As for the older crew that has slowed down over the years, my home is completely animal friendly with an endless supply of cuddles and comforts available.
