Pet care experience
I have returned to school to earn my PhD as an adult in my 30s, which means I have both many years of experience with animals and significant flexibility to help out as your schedule requires. I have spent my whole life around animals - I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog (chow chow), and a multitude of fish; I worked for a stint on a farm as a teenager; and as an adult I have two sweet cats! I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was young, most recently caring for a variety of cats and dogs for friends during work travel, vacations, and weddings.

Reviews
Very thoughtful and helpful!
Catrina was a great dog walker/dog sitter for Bella. She provided ample updates with pictures and was very communicative. I completely trust her with Bella. Bella is also a big German Shepherd and she was able to walk her and feed her exactly as I would. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your dog.
Catrina is great! My old dog doesn’t walk far, but Catrina took the time to play with him and give him lots of pets.
I hired Catrina to walk Clara 3x per week. Catrina did an awesome job acclimating to Clara and getting to know her and her habits. Catrina is reliable and responsible and takes really good pictures too. I highly recommend Catrina!
