Safety, trust & environment

I have invested in myself by obtaining my PetTech First Aid, and CPR training CERT, as well as hands on experience with special needs animals, such as senior animals, all levels of separation anxiety, administering pills, injectable, oral and topical medication administration, behavioral issues, aggressions towards other animals (special considerations/requests followed). I would also like to state that I have no breed, size, or personality restrictions. However, if I don't feel comfortable that I am capable of providing the best care for your pet, I do reserve the right to decline services. A little bit about what you can come to expect from me as your pet care provider would be: * I do require a meet and greet (Free of Charge) which includes: - An introduction to your family and home. - A comprehensive questionnaire that will help me to provide the best care possible. - An overall assessment on compatibility for care. * A rundown of the visit events: - Arrival time - Potty events - food/water breaks - time duration/ distance (if walked) - detailed review of encounter - at least 3 pictures.

Information Caterina W. would like to know about your pet

Personally I believe it is very important for me to know his/her likes and dislikes, any bad habits that I might need to watch for, and even all the small things like his/her favorite toy! Ask me about doggy daycare in your home!

A typical day

I am an active person, I love to go for walks. I can provide tons of games to play with your baby! Whether it be fetch, tug-of-war, or even just a little bit of roughhouse (depending on the dog! I know some love to roughhouse; as does my feisty girl!). For cats I have a wide variety of cat toys that I am able to bring, as well as a laser which we all know cats LOVE!

Pet care experience

Hey there! Thank you so much for taking a minute to learn about me! Your dependable, trustworthy, passionate, and capable pet care provider! I take pride in my abilities to work with all kinds of animals, and pet personality types, From reptiles and little furry friends, to cats and dogs! You name it, I’ve had it! I am the mom of a 6 year old cat I named Mooshoe. My mother and I rescued her from a construction site when she was only a couple months old. We’ve been building our pet family ever since! Our furr family also includes two other cats Diesel (5 YO) and Scout (4 YO), As well as our sassy little SCH-CHI puppy Letty Luna (3 YO). Over the years we’ve fostered lizards, snakes, dogs, cats, as well as the occasional ferret or other rodents until they found their forever homes! While growing up my mom founded her own pet care business, which gave me lots of experience, training, and helped me to realize how passionate I am about caring for animals, even ones that may not be my own!

She did an amazing job watching our two dogs for a week while we were out of the country. She went above and beyond in making sure they were loved and well cared for. Would highly recommend.
