I work from home, which allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, plenty of playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. I intentionally keep the number of dogs in my care small so each pup receives personalized care in a calm, safe environment. Dogs have access to my securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play, along with plenty of time to relax indoors. For added peace of mind, my property is equipped with security cameras covering the outdoor areas and the main indoor play spaces. Whether your dog enjoys playing with friends or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home from the moment they arrive.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and secure home where dogs are always supervised. I take the time to help new dogs settle in at their own pace and carefully monitor all interactions to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. My home has a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play, and dogs are never left outside unattended. Inside, they have plenty of space to play, relax, or nap depending on their personality and energy level. Fresh water is always available, and I'm happy to follow your dog's feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any other special care needs. To maintain a safe and enjoyable environment, I only accept dogs that are fully potty trained, friendly with other dogs, and comfortable in a home setting. If your dog has a history of aggression or difficulty interacting with other dogs, my home may not be the best fit. Whenever possible, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the first daycare visit to make sure it's a good fit for everyone. Because I intentionally keep the number of dogs in my care small, I'm able to provide each dog with plenty of individual attention while maintaining a safe and positive environment. I'll also send regular photo and video updates throughout the day so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Information Paola C. would like to know about your pet

Before your dog's first visit, I'd love to learn about their personality, daily routine, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Please let me know about their feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite toys, commands they know, and any fears or anxieties they may have. To help provide a safe environment for all dogs, I only accept dogs that are fully potty trained, friendly with other dogs, and up to date on their vaccinations. A meet-and-greet before the first daycare visit is encouraged whenever possible to help ensure everyone is a good fit. Apolo shares our home and loves making new dog friends, so it's important that visiting dogs are comfortable interacting with a gentle, friendly resident dog.

A typical day

Every dog is different, so I tailor the day to their personality and energy level. We spend plenty of time playing in my securely fenced backyard, enjoying supervised outdoor time, and taking walks if your dog enjoys them. Indoors, I provide toys and enrichment activities to keep dogs mentally engaged, along with plenty of opportunities to relax and recharge. My goal is to make sure every dog has a fun, safe, and enjoyable day while feeling comfortable and cared for.

Pet care experience

I've been around dogs my entire life. I grew up in a home with dogs and on a family farm where we cared for around 12 dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Those experiences taught me how to understand dog behavior, recognize when dogs need space, and provide patient, attentive care. More recently, I've raised and trained my own Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Apolo, from puppyhood using positive reinforcement. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and maintaining each dog's routine. Safety is always my top priority, and I closely supervise all interactions while paying attention to dogs' body language to ensure everyone remains comfortable. I intentionally keep the number of dogs in my care small so I can provide individualized attention, plenty of supervised play, and a calm, safe environment. I treat every dog like a member of my own family and provide regular photo and video updates so you'll always know how your pup is doing.

One of the nice things about leaving Maggie with Paola and Luis is that I never have to wonder how she's doing. I know she's getting attention, affection, and plenty of playtime. Maggie is comfortable in their home, loves hanging out with Apolo, and is always excited to see them again. It's a great feeling knowing she's with people who genuinely enjoy having her there.

Paola and Luis have watched my dog, Milo, a few times, and they've been amazing with him. Milo loves going to their house and gets along so well with Apolo. They give him lots of attention, make sure he's safe, and treat him like their own dog. I always know he's in great hands, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

I've seen firsthand how dedicated Paola is to her dog, Apolo. She plans her day around him, makes sure he's happy and healthy, and truly enjoys spending time with him. That's just who she is. She's always loved animals and has a very gentle nature with them. I know any dog in her care will receive plenty of love, attention, and excellent care.
