Highlights
Pet care experience
Adventure Awaits
Hi! I’m Catarina, with a lifetime of experience caring for pets of all kinds—cats, dogs, horses, goats, and more. I specialize in puppy training with patience and positive reinforcement, and senior pet care with gentle, health-focused support. Calm, attentive, and full of love, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I have plenty of free time and can give your furry friend all the attention they deserve!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
The safety, trust, and well-being of the pets in my care are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I ensure safety by familiarizing myself with the space, securing doors and gates, and carefully following the owner’s instructions. I build trust by respecting each pet’s boundaries, maintaining their routines, and spending quality time with them. I also keep their environment clean and tidy, promptly cleaning up after them and disposing of waste properly. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and trusting space for every pet, tailored to their individual needs. Whether it’s a walk, a stay, or a visit, I adapt my approach to ensure their happiness and well-being at all times.
Ratings and reviews
Catarina was great! She was punctual, communicative, and friendly. It was clear from the photos she provided that our dog Maya loved her. When we got home, Maya was great and the house was perfect.
Catarina D. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Great communication and took wonderful care of our elderly pup.
Five stars for Cat! She was great right from the start when we had her meet our 2 dogs. She checked in prior to our 2 week trip to confirm everything and easily rolled with a date change I had to make for which she took care of updating the booking on the Rover site right away. She stayed at our house with the dogs and we received updates and pics pretty much everyday. I was feeling guilty and nervous about leaving them, but once she sent us the first update and picture of them enjoying a walk my guilt and nervousness went away. I definitely felt like she was handling everything and it put me at ease. Bottom line, she took great care of our dogs and our house. I will not hesitate to have her dog sit again in the future.
Responsive, informative, thoughtful and considerate! Will continue to book Cat for future stays!
Catarina watched two special needs dogs (one deaf/one anxious) and they both seemed to lover her. She was always sending us pictures and updates which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs really seemed to enjoy the multitude of walks she gave them. She even picked up our mail! We will be requesting her again.

Schedule
As a freelancer with a flexible schedule, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine. I prioritize consistency, ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need through regular feeding, grooming, and playtime. While I appreciate 24-hour notice for planning, I’m happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Just send me a message, and I’ll adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. My focus is on providing reliable, structured care tailored to each pet’s unique routine. With dedicated time slots throughout the week, I’m committed to keeping your furry friends happy, healthy, and well-cared for.
