Boarding • May 13, 2026

Very disappointed with this sitter. I booked for an entire day (boarding) and picked my pets up in the middle of the day for 2 hours as we agreed upon and just before it was time to bring them back she cancelled leaving me with no options to leave my dogs. We were in town for our son’s graduation from Gonzaga in the morning and then a celebration diner that evening. Please don’t book with this person if you have to count her, she’s not reliable.

She is very flexible, sends us photos and double checks to make sure she understands our animals needs. She goes above and beyond and we are so thankful for her!

Catarina will love your fur babies like you love them. She’s watched my senior miniature pinscher for many years. She takes great care of your pets and sends photos while you are away, which is very comforting. We love her!

We have used Catarina multiple times over the years with our 11 yr old senior Labrador. She has a love and gentleness for all animals - she’s like an animal whisperer. They are drawn to her. Our lab has seizures and is on A strict medication/feeding schedule and she makes sure his meds and meals are right at scheduled times. He is also super energetic and she does great walking and controlling him on his walks. We can’t recommend Catarina enough. She will take wonderful care of your animals and make sure they are loved and treated like they were her own.

I can’t thank Catarina enough for stepping in on short notice to care for my pet while I had to leave unexpectedly for work. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals gave me complete peace of mind. Not only did Catarina keep my pet safe and happy, but she also went above and beyond to make sure routines were followed and my home was respected. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and thoughtful—I’m truly grateful.
