Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Animal Pro & Vet Adjacent
Animals have been part of my daily life and family for as long as I can remember, shaped by growing up in a household deeply immersed in animal care alongside a veterinary technician brother. Beyond my lifelong background with family pets and caring for my own 5-year-old Dachshund with IVDD, which has made me exceptionally vigilant with medical needs, medication administration, and mobility support, I bring professional, hands-on experience working in 24/7 in-home dog boarding. Because of this, I am thoroughly experienced in caring for dogs across every stage of life, from high-energy puppies needing constant patience to senior dogs requiring gentle handling and tailored routines. I know how to read canine body language, manage diverse care requirements smoothly, and provide a safe, nurturing environment where every guest feels completely at home.

Ratings and reviews
Paola was amazing with my German shepherd baby. She was so caring and sent photos and videos throughout the day. I knew Star was in good hands for my whole trip and didn’t have to think twice or worry about her
Paola is absolutely wonderful with my dogs! 🐾❤️ She always takes such great care of them and treats them with so much love, patience, and attention. I feel completely at ease knowing they are in good hands whenever they stay with her. She is responsible, caring, and you can truly tell how much she loves animals. My dogs feel comfortable and happy with her, which means so much to me. I highly recommend Paola and will definitely continue trusting her with my fur babies. Thank you, Paola, for always taking such amazing care of them! 🐶💕
I couldn't ask for a better pet sitter! She has been caring for my cat and dog for the past two years, and she feels like part of the family. She is incredibly knowledgeable about their specific conditions, highly communicative, and always goes above and beyond to be helpful. Most importantly, my pets absolutely adore her. I look forward to having her care for my fur babies for a long time to come!
She took care of my sweet dog for over a month while I was a broad She communicated every need my dog presented. Was amazing and understanding and my dog completely loved her will be booking her soon again for all my trips.

Schedule
Animal care is literally my full-time lifestyle and daily routine. By day, I work full-time in a professional 24/7 in-home dog boarding facility, managing canine routines, feeding, and care around the clock. Outside of work, my entire routine is centered around my pets—including caring for my own 5-year-old Dachshund with IVDD, which requires a vigilant eye, specialized medical attention, and dedicated mobility management. Because my professional and personal life are already completely immersed in round-the-clock animal supervision, your pet will seamlessly integrate into a structured, attentive, and permanently occupied home environment where someone is always present, engaged, and attuned to their needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, cleanliness, and responsibility are my absolute top priorities. Because I work professionally in 24/7 in-home boarding and manage a dog with specialized medical needs like IVDD, my home is kept impeccably clean, secure, and entirely dog-proofed. I maintain strict routines around feeding, medication schedules, and environmental safety to ensure hazards are completely eliminated. Every guest is closely supervised, given a secure and comfortable space to rest, and treated with meticulous care so pet parents can have total peace of mind knowing their companion is in a safe, hygienic, and responsible hands-on environment.
Pets
A typical day
Every activity is tailored to the individual dog's energy level, age, and personality. For high-energy pups, that means engaging play sessions with fetch, interactive toys, and plenty of mental stimulation to keep them happy and tired out. For seniors or dogs with lower mobility, I focus on gentle, enriching activities like puzzle toys, calm indoor socialization, lots of quality snuggles, and safe, comfortable companionship. Whether it's active playtime or quiet downtime, my goal is to make sure every guest feels mentally stimulated, emotionally secure, and thoroughly loved during their stay.

- It is crucial for me to know about any specific medical needs, medication schedules, or physical limitations, such as arthritis, past injuries, or mobility restrictions, so I can ensure their absolute safety and comfort. I also need to know their exact feeding routines, dietary restrictions, and any food or toy resource-guarding behaviors. Additionally, understanding their behavioral quirks, like how they react to loud noises, new environments, other dogs, or being left alone, helps me tailor their stay, keep them stress-free, and maintain a seamless routine that feels just like home.
