All Pets Welcome, Flexible Hours!

Hello! My name is Iraya Catalina and I can't wait to have the lovely experience of meeting you and your pet! I am a performer with a love for animals, looking to make a little bit of extra income being new to the city! In terms of sitting and care experience, not only have a had animals since I was a child, I have had to house and animal sit for many members of my family and even friends, and always have a blast doing so. I am ready to provide for your pup, or cat in any way possible! I can take animals for walks or runs, take them to the many parks in the area, or just cuddle up and watch a movie with them if that’s what they prefer!! Also, because I think it is important to note how every dog is different, I have a lot of experience with skittish and anxious pups. My first two dogs when I was a child were both abused pound puppies, and I grew up with them and learned how to bring a dog out of their shell and make them feel safe and loved. I want nothing more than to replicate that with any animal that comes into my care. I would love to know, before caring for the animal, about anything that always makes them growl or make them anxious. I want your animal just as happy as before they are entrusted to my care, happier if possible! Your animal is your family and I want nothing more for its, and your, comfort and joy. Can't wait to welcome your dog or cat into my life!

Safety, trust & environment

I will be attentive to your pet and make sure they have their needs covered by me! I love it the most when dogs are vocal with their needs, but I am patient and intuitive when it comes to what your pet might need in the moment.

Iraya was wonderful to work with this week. She walked Bundok four times, was very communicative and reliable, and even accommodated a last-minute additional request. She made everything easy and stress-free, and Bundok was in great hands. Highly recommend!

I left Iraya with my 2 sweet golden retrievers who tend to be a little crazy. When I got home, the dogs seemed more calm that I would have imagined! They usually don’t warm up to other people very well, but Iraya’s personality just really spoke to them! Overall, Iraya did a great job caring for my dogs and making sure they were receiving the love they needed.

I would love to know if they are potty trained or have any health issues/food preference before caring for them! I would also love knowledge of any problems they have had with other people or animals before, just to be prepared!
