Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & Attentive Pet Sitter
I’ve cared for pets my entire life and truly love creating a calm, safe, and comforting environment where they can feel at home. I work from home, so your pet will have consistent presence, attention, and supervision throughout the day, never feeling alone or overlooked. 🏡 My home is quiet, clean, and cozy, designed to help pets relax and settle in naturally. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re playful and energetic or more sensitive and prefer a slower, peaceful routine. I adapt to them, not the other way around. I provide a balanced environment with gentle play, mental stimulation, and plenty of downtime. From walks to the park, beach visits and relaxing indoor moments to cuddles and calm companionship, I make sure each pet feels emotionally safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also keep a clean and organized space, with sanitized items and a thoughtful setup to ensure both safety and comfort. If your dog has a specific routine, preferences, or special needs, I’m happy to accommodate and make their stay feel as familiar as possible. My goal is simple: to give your pet a peaceful, loving experience where they feel secure, happy, and truly at home.

Ratings and reviews
As usual, Penny had a wonderful time with Ana Paula! She always comes home so happy and calm. I highly recommend! Thanks again as always!!
Excellent first meet and great
Ana was absolutely wonderful with my cat while we were away! She took such great care of him and made us feel completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. She was attentive, reliable, and so sweet with him, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. Being away from Meelo for so long can always make me a little nervous, but having Ana check in on him gave me so much peace of mind throughout our trip. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely trust and book Ana again in the future. you so much for taking such good care of our kitty! 🤍
Great stay as always! Penny had a wonderful day and came home very happy and relaxed. Thank you, Ana Paula! See you soon!
It seemed to me that she had no interest in approaching my dog - and this was a first time booking. She mentioned that my 5-month old Goldendoodle puppy was bigger than what she expected (I had already mentioned that she is about 40 pounds). I asked her to give my dog some treats so she could feel more comfortable, which she did while at home. I asked her to get some treats with her and give my dog some during the walk. She said she had no pockets or bag to carry the treats. I felt that she was a bit uncomfortable so I volunteered to walk my dog with her for this first time. All fine until we were. 5 min in the walk she asked me to take the leash because my dog was sniffing her. It became totally clear that she had no intention of completing the walk, so we returned back and went through the motions… however, I would have much preferred if she had cancelled the walk instead of making what appeared a half attempt at walk and handing me the leash. Thank God I was at home today and available to take care of my pup. I see all the good reviews here and it’s a shame that I didn’t have the same experience. Take this review for what it is. I am just sharing my experience.
Great experience as always! Thank you so much for taking great care of my baby Penny!!

Schedule
I work primarily from home, so dogs enjoy a calm and consistent environment throughout the day. I also have my own routine, including walks, errands, and other pet care visits, so I look for dogs that are comfortable settling independently for short periods while I’m away. My routine naturally includes walks, rest time, and gentle interaction, creating a balanced day that supports both relaxation and activity. I keep a flexible schedule, allowing me to adapt to each pet’s needs and maintain a steady, reassuring environment.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I create a home that feels like a safe haven, quiet, clean, and peaceful. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and at ease from the moment they arrive. My space is organized and thoughtfully maintained, with a focus on safety, cleanliness, and comfort. I offer a mix of gentle play, enrichment, and quiet downtime, helping pets settle naturally and feel at home. You’ll receive a daily update with photos and a summary of your dog’s stay. I’ll also reach out anytime there’s anything important or out of the ordinary.
A typical day
Mornings often start with a beachside or neighborhood walk, followed by rest time and some gentle enrichment 🦴 whether that’s play, cuddles, or simply letting them observe from a sunny spot. The rest of the day flows calmly, with a balance of physical activity and quiet care. Every routine is adapted based on your dog’s energy, age, and personality.

- Let me know about your dog’s special needs, personality, or unique behaviors. I’m happy to adapt to their routine and help them feel comfortable in my home. If your dog has any habits such as barking, whining, difficulty settling in a new environment, or needing extra support when left alone, I’d appreciate knowing in advance so I can make sure my home is the right fit for them.
