About Catalina

My pet care journey began in 2019, while I was still living in Argentina. I started as a homestay dog care sitter, initially working through an app called DOGHERO. However, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the app ceased its operations in Argentina I decided to venture out on my own.

I sent out a brochure to reconnect with my previous clients and promote my services. Since then, I've had the pleasure of serving more than 15 regular clients, many of whom have referred me to their friends and family. My commitment to providing a loving and safe environment for dogs has earned me their trust.

During their stay, most of the dogs were not just guests but cherished members of my household, often sharing my bed. I treat them as if they were my own, ensuring their comfort and happiness. Living near a spacious park, I frequently took them for enjoyable walks and playtime.

In 2023, my journey continued in Sydney, where I resumed dog sitting. I had the privilege of caring for two wonderful dogs until my departure from the city. I embarked on my first house and pet-sitting adventure in April through Trusted Housesitters, which lasted 18 days. During this time, I cared for the most adorable chihuahuas, and grew deeply attached to them. I also took great care of the plants and vegetable garden, along with tending to the chooks.

Following this experience, I journeyed to Boonah, QLD, and secured another house and pet-sitting opportunity through Facebook. My responsibilities included looking after a beautiful Australian Shepherd and the house connected to the Lake Moogerah Cafe for two months. I also worked as a volunteer in Iron Bark Dog park, where I joined the dogs on the dog bus to the dog park where we played with and trained them, an absolutely dream job and the happiest I've been in. As I continue to explore Australia, my mission is not only to discover new places but also to connect with local people while providing love and care to their beloved pets.

Thank you for considering me as your trusted pet and home caretaker!

Besides my long experience in Argentina, in Australia I had the chance to work volunteering at a Dog park in Boonah, Queensland. The name of the place is “Iron Bark Dog Park”. My job, which was a dream come true for me, involved joining the dogs on the dog bus and taking them to the dog park, where we played and trained them. This is the most enjoyable work i’ve the pleasure to do. Just getting on that bus made me the happiest person in the world. The connection i feel with them is tremendous and they give me their love back.
