About: Just a general animal lover who’s either had pets, or has been the designated pet aunt for a number of years. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages. I’m currently very flexible with my schedule which allows me to work around pet care needs. I can be available daytime, evening s and weekends. Although I can’t currently board in my own home, I have extensive experience pet sitting and staying with dogs and cats where the animal is most comfortable in their own home.

Paulina C.
“I can’t say enough good things about Paulina and the care she provides for my pets. She has looked after my Cane Corso, my German Shepherd mix, and my two cats multiple times, and every experience has been fantastic. It’s clear from the moment you meet her that she’s a true animal lover — patient, attentive, and genuinely connected to each of my pets’ personalities and needs. What really sets her apart is the peace of mind she gives me while I’m away. She sends regular photo updates and messages, which always brighten my day and reassure me that my pets are not only well cared for, but also happy and relaxed. I wholeheartedly recommend Paulina to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter. She’s truly the best!”

Chloe G.
“Chloe is the best when it comes to caring for our pets. She has looked after our 3-year-old mastiff, Juneau, and our two cats Homer and Milo on multiple occasions, often staying at our home for several days to a full week. Every time, we come home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless house. Juneau adores her—Chloe gives her regular walks, administers her daily medication with ease, and spends quality time just hanging out with all three of our animals. Even our cats, who are usually a bit standoffish, warmed up to her right away. Chloe is reliable, communicative, and incredibly caring. She always sends us updates and photos, which gives us peace of mind while we’re away. She’s also been flexible and accommodating with last-minute requests. Knowing we can count on someone who is so trustworthy, attentive, and experienced (especially with large dogs and pets that require medication) makes all the difference. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, we wholeheartedly recommend Chloe!”

Rachel C.
“Rachel is by far the best dog sitter. My puppy loves her and she is very punctual when going for daily walks. Overall Highly recommended. I am very pleased that Rachel is my dog-sitter. There are times where I am very busy and sometimes I feel bad that I can't walk my puppy myself every day so whenever I don't have time, Rachel is there to help me out for 30min or an hour a day. Thanks to her, my puppy is a happy puppy.”
