Hello! I’m Catarina, originally from the beautiful Azores, Portuguese Islands. I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up on a farm with my family, I cared for cows, dogs, cats, goats, chickens, and more. This unique upbringing gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs, which I carry with me to this day. From a young age, I learned the importance of patience, compassion, and responsibility when it comes to animals. I even assisted in caring for farm animals alongside my father, who worked closely with veterinarians. While my background began with farm animals, I have also cared for dogs and cats over the years and am comfortable and confident with pets of all sizes and temperaments. I believe that experience and instinct play a big role in understanding animals. I always prioritize their well-being and comfort, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I require all pets to be vaccinated for the safety of everyone. I would be honored to provide a safe, loving, and reliable home-away-from-home for your furry family members!
