About Catarina

Hi! My name is Catarina and I am a Research Assistant at Cambridge University. I have a Masters degree in Biomedical Science and have been a pet lover since I was little. I grew up surrounded by animals. Growing up we had a dog, cats, a turtle, fish, canaries, hamsters, chickens and I even had a pet duck! Currently we have 4 cats ( 2 to 16 years old), one of which I've had since she was 2 weeks old and I handraised and bottlefed (she's my baby ahah).
I have lots of experience with pets from both my own and from petsitting family, friends and neighbours pets.
I have pet sat dogs, cats, rabbits and hamsters before.
Since moving to Cambridge I have been living in a house share and as such I'm not allowed pets in the house. Because of this I can't have pets stay overnight, but I'm happy to stay over to housesit.
This also means that I can't see my cats (who live with my parents) as much as I would like, so I would love to spend some time with your pets!
I love science but I would also love to one day open a pet day care! Animals just brighten up my day and I love to see them happy and loved. So being able to spend all day surrounded by them would be a dream come true for me! 

Extra Info:

I'm usually only available in the evening during week days. Saturdays and Sundays are more flexible.

I can administer oral medication if needed.

Happy to water plants and bring in mail during home visits/house sitting while you're away.

For home visits and dog walking: I'll stay for at least 30m, but happy to discuss timings.

For Housesitting: on weekdays I'll have to go into work from 9-5 but will be with your pets in the evenings. Weekends are more flexible and I will be able to spend more time with your pets.

Once again Catarina did a brilliant job house sitting to look after and care for our aged by very lovely cat.

House Sitting

Caterina house sat and looked after our elderly cat with his reasonably complex routines, special diet and meds. It was a huge relief to know he was in good hands when we had to go away. I have no hesitation recommending Catarina for cat care, she is a gem.
