Pet care experience

It’s raining Cats and Dogs 🐱🐶🩷

Hello! My name is Paola, and I’m currently in school pursuing my career. I’ve been with Rover for about three years, but I’ve had many years of hands on experience caring for animals, including cats, dogs, bunnies, and birds. I chose to work with Rover because being around animals genuinely makes me happy. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and providing them with a safe, loving environment while you’re away. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your fur babies for a few hours or even a few days especially with someone you don’t know. I have one cat who means the world to me, and as a fellow cat mom, I truly understand the level of care, attention, and trust you want for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always provide daily photos and updates so you can feel comfortable, reassured, and connected while you’re away.

Paola is so amazing and trustworthy. She is always reliable and caring with the fur babies. I couldn’t recommend her more.

We had a great experience with Paola watching our boy! He is anxious with new people, but warmed up to her super quickly. We love the photos she sent us while we were away. She kept the house clean/the same as it was before we left as well, which we really appreciated coming home to a clean house. Thank you for everything! 🩷

Paola clearly loves animals and was very sweet to my pup who I left with her for a week. She was very good at meeting all my dig’s care needs. I would definitely work with Paola again.

Paola did a great job taking care of both my dog and cat. My dog can be a little needy, and she easily made her feel at home and comfortable. Will definitely book again when needed, thanks!

Schedule

Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions to ensure consistency and comfort. Since I’m in school, I manage my time carefully and I’m home often, allowing me to provide frequent check ins, supervision, and companionship. I also send daily photos and updates so pet parents always feel informed and reassured

Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my care based on each pet’s needs and the service provided. In my home, I maintain a safe, calm, and pet friendly environment, following your pet’s usual routine for feeding, playtime, and rest to help them feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to instructions, ensuring pets receive proper meals, walks, litter box or potty breaks, exercise and affection. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch starts early and includes some form of exercise, whether that’s hiking, riding my bike, or going for walks. For dogs, I provide daily walks ranging from 10–20 minutes, adjusting based on their age, energy level, and abilities. I enjoy keeping dogs active while also making sure they feel comfortable and safe. Cats also receive plenty of enrichment and playtime. To help prevent nighttime zoomies, I engage them in interactive play at least twice a day for a minimum of 15 minutes per session, using toys that encourage natural hunting behaviors. I always make time for affection, mental stimulation, and quiet companionship. I hope this gives you a better idea of who I am and how I care for pets. I’m always open to questions about me, my cats, or my services, and I look forward to meeting your fur babies and building a trustworthy, caring community.

It’s important for me to know key details about your pets ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, energy level, temperament, medical needs, medications, allergies, fears, and how they interact with people and other animals. Knowing what comforts them, what causes stress, and their favorite activities helps ensure a smooth, safe, and positive experience for your pet.
