About: I have 4 dogs that I’ve owned for 5 years now. I adopted two of them as puppies, so I potty trained them and taught them how to sit, lay down, walk off-leash, etc. I adopted my other two as adults, but I did train them how to walk off-leash as well. I care for them every single day, which includes feeding them on the same schedule every day, walking them, playing with them, bathing them when needed, taking them to the vet when needed, cleaning up after them to ensure a healthy and clean environment for them. I’m currently a college student who is out of school for the summer, so I am available 7 days a week at all hours of the day! In my client’s home, I will complete any task they ask of me in the way they ask to do it, as I completely understand that certain dogs need certain routines and strategies. I respect my client’s homes and the way they operate their home lives, and will do all I can to ensure their pets are happy and healthy.

“Carolina has been so patience with my obnoxious dog, I consider she’s great and goes an extra mile. 100% trustworthy, your furry friend will definitely be happy walking with Carolina!”


About: I’ve always loved caring for animals, and I’ll treat your pets the same way I do my own! I love working smaller pets, as I have a chihuahua myself, but I’m happy to work with bigger dogs as I’m 6’4- so a big guy myself! I enjoy playing with, walking, feeding, and spending time with your pets. I also will make sure to take the time to build trust with your pets- I’m happy to cater to each pets individual needs. I am available everyday from the hours of 2pm-10pm, I can walk or house sit your pet multiple times a day within these hours, and am happy to accommodate your needs. I have a dog, a little chihuahua named Minnie, and calico cat named Kiki! They are both very different, but I love them both the same. Minnie is a big foodie, and I often have to protect my food from her :). I enjoy cuddling, walking, and giving her lots of treats. Kiki is a bit more stand offish, so I give her space- but when shes ready to play I make sure I am too!

About: I have loved pets since I was a kid. I was obsessed with learning about them. After my first pet died, I was very motivated on learning about how to offer pets the very best life, and this comes through research! I have worked with a variety of animals. Working at PetSmart allowed me to get a better hands on experience as it opened a door to working with cats, sick animals who needed medication, and working with large numbers of pets. This also helped me see what methods worked and what methods to avoid when taking care of our beloved pets. I have a very flexible schedule and will be available for you and your pets. I don’t have a set schedule yet due to work and school. Safety is my top priority.

About: What sets me apart? I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m a pet’s personal playmate and snuggle expert! From teaching puppies their first tricks, I also have a gentle touch with senior pets, providing extra comfort , I make sure your fur babies feel special.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes. I’ve even had a problem dog before, although not the most extreme case. I spend a lot of my free time walking around the city with or without a dog. I have an open schedule. I wake up at 9am every day. I can stay up late into the night if that is needed for your dog. I have a small apartment with a metal gate. For the first year in my life, I currently have no dog of my own. I have no other pets. I don’t own a crate currently, but I would purchase one if it was asked of me. I could also purchase any other required resources for your dog, within reason.

About: As an owner of two senior dogs I have learned that they need extra patience and care. I make sure the dogs are feeling comfortable and relaxed by taking the dogs outside as they need to use the bathroom and sun bath for a while. But I also like to give them plenty of time inside if they just want to rest and be pet or cuddled. It's important they get excersise too with some play time or a walk. Pet care goes smoothly with my schedule as a mom and a flea market vendor. My husband Julian does help out in every activity with our pawed guests too. We include a free walk for every day of the stay. Dogs will be taken out to the yard on demand or twice an hour for potty times. For all dogs we will provide two separate hours of play time during the day. If a dog has high energy we will play for about 10 minutes after every potty time. Some of the safety measures with my service include having a fenced back yard, being outside with the dogs until they are ready to go back inside, and having a calm and cozy environment for each individual dog or cat guest.

About: I have taken care of big and small dogs since I was young. I have always owned dogs and love to spend time with them. Aside from pet care, I am bilingual, so I am definitely able to communicate with you in English or Spanish. I am currently not working so I am able to have a lot of flexibility. I will always be there for when your pet needs a walk or some playtime. I have a fenced yard at my home and am able to keep your dog safe. I will always make sure your pet is happy and feel free to communicate any of your pet's needs to me.

Vanessa A.
“We have a 9 year old poodle who has many issues like anxiety and she doesn't trust many humans. This year we had an emergency leave and needed a caregiver. After talking to a few people, we decided to leave our Destiny with Vanessa. After our returnand to our surprise we saw Destiny socializing with other dogs and very comfortable with Vanessa. There are many ways to choose a caregiver for our Destiny but seeing Destiny so happy with her new pack and Vanessa, is what sold me”

She invests time and money to give her the best dog food money can buy and frequently takes her on trips to the doggy park. Anyone's pet would be in good hands with Catalina as their pet caregiver.
