Alejandra, the sitter behind Katty & Co.
That's me

Hi, I'm Alejandra

I would love to welcome your furry friend into my family. I grew up surrounded by dogs and have a deep love for every creature — the confident ones, the anxious ones, and the ones who need twenty minutes to decide about you.

My home served as a cat foster for years, where I specialised in helping sick or fearful cats feel safe and stayed on top of their medications. Whether your pet needs a patient hand, medical administration, or just a high-energy walk, I have a lifetime of experience to draw on.

My partner Miguel helps out with pick-ups, walks and the occasional photo shoot — several owners have met him at the door. Your pet gets two sets of hands, one set of rules.

The part that matters

Safety, trust & environment

My home is fully pet-proofed from years of fostering — nothing chewable within reach, no escape routes, and a layout that gives every animal somewhere to retreat to. There's plenty of vertical space for Kat to do her own thing, which leaves the floor and the couches wide open for your pet.

Because of our experience with rescue animals, we read body language early and act on it. Introductions go at your pet's pace, nobody gets forced into contact, and every animal here gets to feel safe, respected, and left alone when that's what they want.

Meet Kat

The company namesake, and its worst employee

Kat is the ultimate host, mostly because she's a bit of a brat and completely ignores her guests. Since she's uninterested in starting drama, our home stays peaceful and neutral for visiting dogs and cats.

She keeps to her cat trees and shelves and has never once started drama with a guest. Genuinely the easiest colleague here.
