Pet care experience

Trusted and loving cat care 🐱💛

I’ve been caring for cats for many years and truly understand how unique each cat’s personality can be 🐱✨ Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to check in, feed, clean litter boxes, play, and make sure their cats feel safe and comfortable while they’re away. At home, I care for two cats, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, keeping feeding areas clean, refreshing water, and giving oral medication when needed (pills and drops). I always move at the cat’s pace, especially with shy or independent cats, and I focus on creating a calm, stress-free environment. I follow instructions carefully and love sending photo updates after each visit, so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands 💛📸 If helpful, I also speak Portuguese 🇧🇷 in addition to English.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When visiting your home, I always treat it with care and respect, and I strictly follow all instructions you provide. I make sure doors are locked, windows are checked, and everything is left just the way you expect it to be 🔐🏠 During each visit, I take care of feeding, refreshing water, cleaning food bowls, scooping litter boxes, and cleaning up any messes if needed. I keep the environment calm and comfortable, especially for shy or independent pets, and I never rush interactions, letting each pet feel safe and relaxed 🐱🐶 I also send detailed updates with photos after every visit, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel at ease while you’re away 📸💬

Paola was absolutely wonderful! She agreed to take care of my cat, Tinker, last minute for the weekend, and I’m so grateful she was able to help. Tinker was clearly very well cared for, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Paola also sent me the most beautiful pictures of her seriously, photos I couldn’t have taken that well myself! 🥹🐾 It was so nice getting those updates and seeing Tinker happy and comfortable. I would absolutely trust Paola with her again and will definitely be using her in the future. Highly recommend! ❤️

Paola was great! Prompt and easy communication well ahead of schedule to ensure smooth handoff of keys and home access. Lots of photos sent from her check-ins with my cat. Would be happy to have her cat-sit again, she made this process as easy as possible :)

Paola was SO fantastic taking care of our cat Banjo for an extended time. She sent a ton of pictures every visit and was extremely communicative throughout making it so easy to feel comfortable being away from him!!! Could not have asked for a better sitter. She’s the best.

Schedule

Pet care is a priority in my routine, and I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to have high availability for drop-in visits 🐾✨ I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, including weekends and holidays. I’m also happy to do multiple visits per day if your pet needs extra care or companionship. For scheduling, I usually need at least one day of notice, as set in the app, so I can plan my visits and give each pet the attention they deserve 💛

Cats
