Catalina took care of my dog, Matius, for a week and I was delighted. She was caring, attentive, and responsible. Matius seemed happy and relaxed when I returned. I recommend Catalina without hesitation!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in a spacious apartment with beautiful gardens around the building, and there’s a dog park just 3 minutes away. It’s a perfect place for your pet to play and explore safely!

A typical day

To keep the pets happy, active, and engaged, I organize a variety of fun and stimulating activities tailored to their needs. For dogs, this includes outdoor playtime, games like fetch and tug-of-war, and light training exercises to keep them mentally sharp. For indoor pets, I use interactive toys, treat puzzles, and enrichment games to provide both mental and physical stimulation. I always ensure they receive plenty of affection, comfort, and personal attention so they feel secure and loved while in my care.

Before caring for any pet, it’s essential to know their specific needs, routines, and any medical conditions or allergies they may have. I ask about their temperament, behavior around other animals or people, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any fears or triggers they might have. This helps me provide personalized care and ensure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after.
