Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I can't recommend Catarina Sofia enough! I have a Great Dane, so finding someone confident and capable of handling such a large dog is really important to me. Although she's quite petite, she completely exceeded my expectations. She handled my dog with confidence, kindness, and professionalism, and it was clear she really understands dog behaviour. She took the time to make sure my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for on every walk. I always felt reassured knowing he was in such good hands, and he absolutely loved spending time with her. It's obvious she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and that really shows in the service she provides. If you're looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and fantastic with dogs of all sizes, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Catarina took care of my two cats for a week when I was traveling. She bonded quickly with them, learned their routine, sent me updates (with pictures) occasionally and was super easy to communicate with. She’s a really kind person and I would let her look after them any time again!
Catarina is so exceptionally kind and beyond caring to both her animals and the animals we both have been around. If I ever ask for pictures of her dog or cat I get five extras. When I have been near her and her animals it is clear there is so much love between her dog and herself. Catarina is patient, kind, and genuine with the animals she's around no matter the species or breed. I trust her implicitly with my 14 year old corgi and I hope you find her just as wonderful as I do.
Catarina is a sensible, reliable person , who shows dedication to her animals , the care and compassion in which she shows its heart-warming. Catarina herself is also a very likable, bubbly person with a light-hearted compassionate attitude - Fantastic
I have known Catarina for almost 7 years, and she is the most loving and responsible pet owner I know. She is attentive and really gentle, always makes sure that everything is by the books and everyone comfortble and happy.

Schedule
I work from home full-time, meaning pet care is naturally integrated into my daily routine. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily accommodate your preferred feeding and walking times. I am also very accommodating with pickup and drop-off windows. Your pet will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day and will never be left unsupervised.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and peace of mind are our top priorities. In our home, your pet will enjoy a fully fenced, secure garden perfect for supervised playtime. For an extra layer of security, we have cameras installed in the backyard so we can keep a close eye on everything. Because both my husband and I are involved, guest pets are never left unsupervised. Whether boarding with us or during house visits, we mirror your exact feeding, medication, and exercise routines to keep their environment stress-free, treating your beloved pet with the same trust and care as our own.
Pets
A typical day
For our active guests, there is plenty of playtime throughout the day, especially out in our fully fenced garden where they can run around safely. We also do two daily walks to keep things fun, stimulating, and filled with new sights and smells. For the more relaxed or older dogs who prefer a lazy day, our home is a total comfort zone. We have cosy dog beds scattered everywhere throughout the house, so they are never more than a few steps away from a perfect spot to curl up, snooze, and receive plenty of head scratches while we work from home. No matter your dog's pace, they will get a perfect balance of fun, structure, and relaxation!
