Join the pack

I have loved and been with dogs all my life. Currently, I'm the proud mother of 2 incredible Sammies, who require copious amounts of exercise and socialisation, so your dog would always have play companions. I'm also proponent of positive-reinforcement training, where patience is key.

Boarding • Aug 28, 2026

We booked Olive, our 4 month old Cockapoo to stay with Cat and Fil whilst we went away. With Olive being so young (and so new to us!) leaving her was such a scary prospect, but Cat was so reassuring and kind. We met Cat, Fil and their two dogs Ell, and Snow at the park before we left Olive over night, and they instantly made me feel at ease with their warmth and obvious knowledge of dogs. Ell and Snow were very sweet and patient with my crazy pup. Olive had THE best time during her stay (I know because I received HUNDREDS of photos of her living her best life) and they were very attentive to her specific needs (ie letting her sleep upstairs when she struggled to settle downstairs) and super flexible with us. She will be returning, and I feel very lucky to have found them. Highly recommended!

Catarina and her partner were absolutely wonderful with my two dogs, Loki and Sisu. They were so caring and attentive, and I received plenty of lovely photos from their walks and throughout the stay, which was really reassuring. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was obvious that Loki and Sisu absolutely loved their time there! I would definitely book with Catarina again and can’t recommend her and her partner highly enough. Thank you both for taking such great care of my dogs!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 20, 2026

Catarina and their partner were absolutely amazing! They treat your pooches with the all the love and care you would, they clearly have a massive love for doggos. Star and Ella(?) are adorable. Arrow had an absolute brilliant time. They were so understanding and flexible even when I was late picking up! Great communication and I felt straight away that I could trust them to look after Arrow! Would 100% use them again and would highly recommend them!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 20, 2026

Catarina was absolutely amazing looking after our rescue dog, Ron! 🐾 Ron can be nervous around bigger dogs, so we were a little apprehensive about leaving him, but Catarina and her partner were so patient, calm and understanding with him. They made him feel completely at ease. Catarina kept us updated throughout the day with lovely photos and videos, which gave us such peace of mind. When we picked Ron up, it was so lovely to see him happily walking alongside their two much bigger dogs — he looked so settled, relaxed and happy! We honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. We will definitely be rebooking with Catarina and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for fantastic dog care in the area. 10/10 — thank you so much, Catarina! ❤️🐶

Catarina is very helpful and reliable. We had good communication in advance. Though we were late, Catarina and her husband were waiting for us with their dogs outside the house. The couple are dog lovers. They are patient and experienced handling big dogs. My dog missed us waiting at the gate for us to come back after we left. They knew how to comfort him. He was smiling again when going out to walk with their lovely Sammies. They also spent much time playing and interacting with my dog. Catarina has taken and shared loads of photos and videos for our peace of mind. It's much appreciated! I highly recommend their dog boarding service. Many thanks to Catarina and her husband again!

Schedule

Most of my week revolves around caring for dogs. All my time is dedicated to them, so they will have my complete and undivided attention.

Where your pet will stay

Non-smoking household
Has 2 dogs
No children present

Safety, trust & environment

Time will be spent at a park chiefly frequented by other people with dogs. It is a safe space with plenty of room to roam and play while still being enclosed, with no need to worry about cars.

Pets

A typical day

We go on walks, I teach them new tricks and we play different games depending on the dogs preferences (fetch, swimming, running, digging and playful rassling for those who like it).

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
over 45 kg
Catarina can host up to 3 pets per night
I would need to know of any allergies, their level of recall, how social they are both with people and dogs, their habits in terms of scavenging/hunting and if they are intact (I will accept them, but I need to know about it).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
