Pet care experience

Your paws will be in good hands!

For over 10 years, I’ve been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family. My duties are basically stopping in to make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, and most importantly, feel cared for while their humans are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, tossing a favorite toy, or just keeping them company. My experience is mostly with drop-ins and walks, and I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making pets feel safe and happy in their own environment.

I definitely recommend Paola! Friendly, on time and understood this being my first time letting someone I don't know to take him out. Atlas was very comfortable with her once they started to go walk. Thank you 😊

I can’t recommend Paola enough!! She’s loving and caring and one of the only people I fully trust with my two tiny dogs. She is very gentle and attentive with my babies. She’s extremely responsible and communicative plus my pups absolutely adore her! I know I can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

Paola has watched my cat multiple times for 3-5 days at a time while I’ve been away. She’s very attentive and a great communicator when it comes to easing my anxieties. She always makes sure to spend quality time with him to make sure he gets love and play time. I can’t recommend her enough!

Paola is an amazing pet sitter! She’s super loving, caring, and always makes sure my pup feels safe and happy. I never worry when my pup is with her because she’s so attentive and trustworthy. Highly recommend her!

Paola took care of our pet over a 3-Day weekend while my husband and I were out of town. She was very responsive, caring, and detailed while she took care of our pet. I would recommend her to watch any pet or walk any dog. I would hire her again for when my pet needs a caregiver.

Schedule

I work full time, spending two to three days in the office and the rest working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule. During the week, I’m available for afternoon walks and early morning or evening drop-ins. On weekends, I can do drop-ins up to three times a day and am available for walks at almost any time.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always start by checking the space to make sure everything is safe and clean, just in case there was an accident or something seems off. I make sure they have fresh water, food, and a treat if it’s part of their routine. Depending on the pet’s needs, we’ll either head to the yard or go for a walk around the neighborhood. I approach every visit with a calm and nurturing energy, which helps pets feel safe and relaxed around me. Building trust and creating a peaceful environment is always my priority.

Pets

A typical day

Usually I like to play around with their toys with them. When I visit my friend's dogs they love to play playing fetch and being pet. Same with cats, I love to dangle their toys above them so they can jump for them! I love giving pets the attention and activity they need to stay happy and healthy.

Before caring for any pet, I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medical or behavioral needs such as medications, allergies, or sensitivities. It would also be helpful for me to understand how they behave around other animals or strangers, their leash walking habits, and any fun facts that make them unique (like hiding spots, favorite toys, or fears). Just let me know about any house rules such as couch privileges or crate time. This will help me make your pet feel comfortable and safe in their usual environment. The more I know, the better I match your expectations and your pet’s needs!
