Ready to pamper your pet!

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.

I was very apprehensive about leaving my kitty alone in a new environment for the first time since I adopted her two years ago, but Paola instantly made me feel at ease wth her kindness & reassurance. My kitty is very shy and it takes quite a bit for her to approach someone new but that was not the case with Paola. It only took a few minutes and my kitty was already marking her and allowing Paola to pet her in return. I am so grateful for the care & attentiveness given to my especially shy little girl. I received daily updates, pictures and videos which were very comforting and showed my kitty was settling in & making herself right at home. Paola’s very kind, patient & caring nature is evident when watching her interaction with my kitty and I cannot recommend her highly enough for watching your fur babies!

Special thanks to Paola for taking such great care of my cat Zoey, while we were away. I will keep calling upon Paola when needed. It’s nice to know there are people still available even during the holidays!

I am especially glad I looked into Rover website by searching. It was the first website that popped up so I thought I would give it a go! I am impressed by the east to use userbility!!! I am even more satisfied beyond expectation with Paola. For it being the first time I am using this app.. Paola helped me though understanding what the low down really was and was prompt with text messages. She was easy to communicate with via text as the way I personally like to communicate these days!!! She too imagery of her playing with Zoey. She also made sure I was well aware of the feedings and she went above and beyond by cleaning the kitty litter box for me. She also received my mail from my mailbox as well. I am intrigued to use the app again and I will look up Paola next time I go out of town and Need a pet sitter. Thank you so much Paola! See you next time!

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: Information 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. Training and Commands: Knowing the commands they respond to and any obedience training they've received helps with their management and safety. 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 dog. ?

A typical day

We'll enjoy exciting walks in the nearby park, where there are plenty of trails and open spaces for them to explore. Additionally, I have some interactive toys and games to keep them mentally and physically engaged right at home.
