Hi, hola! I'm Catalina, originally from Colombia, and I've been in New Zealand home for the past 13 years.

I'm a creative person at heart. I studied and worked in fashion design, and today I also work part-time as a Colour Consultant. But if there's one thing that truly lights me up, it's being around animals.

To me, every pet is an individual with their own personality, quirks and way of seeing the world. I genuinely love earning their trust, understanding what makes them feel safe and happy, and creating a calm, fun and loving environment where they can simply be themselves.

Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and sensitive, or a wise senior who enjoys a slower pace, I'll care for them with the same love, patience and attention I'd give my own. Looking after animals isn't just something I do, it's where my heart is.

I'm the kind of friend you'd love your pets to have. Warm, playful, reliable and positive, I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making them feel safe, happy and loved.

I'm confident caring for pets of all temperaments, whether they're shy, anxious, sensitive or full of energy. I'm highly observant and experienced at reading animal behaviour, so I quickly understand how pets are feeling and what they need. Their emotional wellbeing is always my priority, helping them feel relaxed, secure and loved while you're away.

As an active person, I provide safe, enriching walks, adventures playtime and home visits tailored to your pet's individual needs, personality and energy level. Every visit is filled with patience, kindness and plenty of affection.

My services include:

-Tailored dog walks with plenty of sniffing, exercise, play and cuddles.

-Home visits for feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, companionship and cuddles.

-Regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your pet while you're away.

-Basic home care, including watering plants, bringing in the mail, and putting the bins out and back in.

I'm flexible with times and happy to work around your schedule.

I treat every pet as if they were my own, with genuine love, care and respect.

I also have a gentle, animal-loving 5-year-old daughter who may occasionally join me if you're comfortable and feel your pet would enjoy spending time with a kind and respectful child.

✔ Full New Zealand driver's licence and reliable car

I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member, and I look forward to hearing from you! 🤍
