Safety, trust & environment

I can provide care for one cat at my apartment. I already have a playful and friendly young cat there, so they can have a great time together. However, I'm unable to accommodate dogs in my apartment. If you have more than one cat or dogs, I'm more than happy to come to your home to take care of them.

Information Paola P. would like to know about your pet

Health and Medical History: Any allergies, medications, or special dietary needs are crucial. Also, knowing their vaccination status and contact information for their vet is essential. Behavior and Temperament: Understanding their temperament, socialization level, and any specific behavioral quirks can help tailor care to their needs. Diet and Feeding Schedule: Informationy about their regular diet, feeding times, and portion sizes is vital for maintaining their routine. Exercise and Activity Preferences: Learning about their exercise requirements, favorite activities, and any limitations helps plan suitable exercise and playtime. Emergency Contacts: Having contact information for the owner and an emergency backup person is essential in case of unexpected situations. House Rules: Familiarity with any house rules or specific care instructions, such as where they sleep, if they're allowed on furniture, and if they have any particular routines. By gathering this information, I can provide the best possible care and ensure a positive experience for your pet.

A typical day

I will make sure your cat gets all their meals, playtime, cuddles (if they like them), and lots of love and attention every single day.

Pet care experience

All the best memories of my childhood include pets; furry companions have always been a part of my life up to this day. As a pet owner, I understand the value they hold in our hearts, and I consider them a part of the family. I have also rescued stray animals and collaborated with foundations to organize sterilization campaigns and food donations.

This was our third time booking with Paola, and once again she was amazing! She’s incredibly accommodating, has great communication, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout Leia’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Leia absolutely loves Paola and her cat, Khalil, and it’s clear she feels right at home. Paola also keeps a very clean and tidy home. We couldn’t recommend her more and will be booking with her again. Thank you Paola and Khalil!

Paola was amazing with my mom’s cat Lele! Lele is very friendly but could be shy at first and Paola did great with making her feel comfortable while we were away. She sent us lots of videos and photos of Lele and we could tell that she was in good hands & happy! Thank you again for taking great care of Lele ❤️ will definitely be returning in the future!

Paola took such good care of our cat! Communication was easy. She is very proactive in providing updates every day, with videos and pics. Will definitely ask her to watch our cat again!

Paola was very kind and communicative. She provided a ton of photo and video updates. My kitties were very happy when I arrived to pick them up, they seemed totally relaxed and comfortable in her home! Thank you Paola!
