Pet care experience

Your pet’s new best friend!

About Me: Ever since I can remember, I’ve had a love and passion for animals. Growing up, I was always the one walking neighbors’ dogs and pet-sitting for friends, and that love has only grown stronger over the years. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, a slow stroll, or just extra cuddle time, I adapt to their personality and routine. I don’t currently work outside of Rover, so my availability is very open, I’m able to give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care whenever you need me. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from playful puppies to shy rescues, and I always put safety first. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is happy. What Sets Me Apart: I treat every dog like family. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I go above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Special Skills: -Comfortable with all breeds and personalities -Skilled at reading body language and easing anxiety -Patient with leash training and good walking habits -Reliable communicator with regular photo updates.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I always put pets’ safety and comfort first. In my home, they have a secure, pet-friendly space with plenty of water, playtime, and cozy spots to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their routine and pay close attention to their needs, keeping them happy and stress-free. I also send photos and updates so you can see your pet is safe and loved.

Paola is absolutely amazing! Ever since I’ve known her, she has always gone above and beyond to care for animals. She used to take care of my dog, and I could always tell how much love, attention, and patience she gives to every pet. She truly treats them like family, and I feel so lucky to know someone who is so dedicated and trustworthy with animals.

Paola has been an absolute blessing when it comes to dog sitting. She has cared for my Pomeranian, Prince, my friend’s Bernadoodle, Walter, my parents’ dog, Chloe, and my brother’s dog, Guinness — and every single time, the results are the same: happy, healthy, and excited pups coming home. It’s clear that Paola goes above and beyond to give each dog the love, attention, and care they deserve. Prince always wags his tail the second he sees her, Walter bounds in with excitement, Chloe is calm and content, and Guinness is full of energy and joy. Seeing how each of them lights up after spending time with Paola gives me total peace of mind whenever they’re with her. I couldn’t recommend Paola more highly — she’s not just a dog sitter, she’s truly part of their families!

I like to know as much as possible about your pet’s routine and personality so I can give them the best care. Please share any special needs, medical conditions, medications, or quirks I should be aware of. It’s also helpful to know their favorite activities, energy level, and how they do on walks or around other dogs. The more I know, the more comfortable and happy I can make them while you’re away.
