It gives me such peace of mind knowing that Paola is taking care of our pets. She truly cares about them and knows their personalities. I am so thankful for her. Her communication is excellent!!!! She is the best!

As usual, Paola is wonderful! My fur children are well taken care of, happy and healthy when we get home. I can also tell that they enjoy her company. Thank you for all of the updates and photos Paola!

Safety, trust & environment

If your pet is boarding (staying in my house), I have a fenced-in yard in which my dogs (and dogs spending the night) have access to as they wish (as long as I am in the house). When I leave, both my dogs are crated, and if I am petsitting another dog in my home, they will also be crated. This is all for safety reasons. I only book boarding and daycare to pets I have taken care off at least once before at their own home. This is in order to get to know the pet and pet parent and know if they will be a good fit for those services. Please upload vaccine records. I will not accept a pet that is not fully vaccinated with core vaccines up to date. Dogs: Rabies vaccine, DHPP vaccine and Bordetella vaccine. Cats: Rabies vaccine and FVRCP vaccine. My cats are left free roaming around the house.

Information Paola D. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet have any health issues or concerns? For safety measures - How do they behave around other people and pets? I will adjust the exercise routine and mental stimulation games as needed to fit your pet's needs. Please provided veterinary information (medical records) and a local emergency contact (family member or friend) in case we cannot reach out to you.

A typical day

I provide daily walks and fun mentally stimulating pet games! If the dog is not up for walk, no issues at all! We'll just head on back to my backyard for them to walk, run around, or sniff around. And if they are up for it,a game of catch!

Availability

I work full-time at the small animal hospital, which is why my main days and times available are during the weekends. My schedule can vary depending on the week or season! Just send me a message, and I will let you know if I am available. If I am petsitting your pet at your home, I DO NOT spend nights over at your home. I visit twice a day, 30 minutes each visit. If additional visits are needed, we can discuss the "drop-in" option prior to booking.
