I have been an animal lover my entire life and a pet owner for 20+ years! Most of my family are Rover caretakers and now I will be venturing off on my own. I offer an inviting and safe home where your pet will be treated like family. I take pride in being the best doggie grandma to my daughters mini Aussie.

Paola was amazing with my big goofball of a dog. She was able to take him for boarding on short notice when other arrangements fell thru, and he was so happy to stay with her. I know this because she sent daily updates and pictures of him during his stay. Hammond says 10/10 would stay again.

I left my dog, Gunner, with Paola and her family the week of Thanksgiving, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very start, I appreciated that before booking, they requested a meet-and-greet to get to know Gunner and understand his temperament. That alone made me feel so comfortable it showed how knowledgeable, responsible, and caring she and her family truly are. It gave me full confidence that Gunner would be in good hands. Throughout his stay, they were incredibly kind, patient, and flexible. I loved receiving regular updates and pictures; it kept me at ease and made it clear that Gunner was having a great time. He honestly looked like he was having a blast, and when he came home he was super tired after a long few days of playing with them! I also had an unexpected inconvenience come up and needed to add an extra night at the last minute. They were so understanding and generous, allowing Gunner to stay longer and even letting me pick him up on Thanksgiving morning! That level of kindness and flexibility truly meant a lot. Gunner was well taken care of, happy, and relaxed when I picked him up. I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate.

Paola did a great job taking care of Roy, our Lab/Mutt/Mix. It was his first time at a dig sitter and turned out he had some anxiety, and Paola dealt well with it. Lesson learned for us, we need to have an in home sitter next time, but at no fault.to Paola, she handled him well.

Paola was awesome. She went above and beyond to ensure my dog was comfortable during the stay especially the first couple nights when my dog had issues settling in. She kept me in the loop while I was out of town and even administered medication. I highly recommend her and will rebook for my next trip.
