Because we both mostly work from home and have flexible schedules, pet care fits easily into our daily routine. One of us is almost always at home, so pets are rarely left alone. We plan our days around feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest, and we can easily adapt to special needs, medication, or extra attention when required.

Information Paola P. would like to know about your pet

I live with my partner Salvatore. We are a long time couple, 15 years. He will be taking care of your pets with me :)

A typical day

We love making sure pets have fun as well as feel safe and relaxed. For dogs, this includes daily walks, exploring parks and neighbourhoods, playing with toys, and spending time together both indoors and outdoors. For cats, we provide play with toys, chasing games, window watching, and quiet cuddle time if they enjoy affection. We always adapt activities to each pet’s personality and energy level, whether they are playful and active or calm and relaxed, so they can enjoy their time with us in a way that suits them best.

Pet care experience

We are new to this website, but we have done a lot of petsitting for our families and friends in the past, especially cats and dogs. We also have been using a different platform where we do house and pet sitting abroad. We would diligently follow instructions where pet behaviour, diet, characteristics, medication, rules, training and routines are concerned. We would send daily updates, with photos and videos, to let you know how things are going :) We would welcome the opportunity to chat with you in person, via WhatsApp or Zoom. We understand that trusting strangers to look after your much loved pets can be rather daunting, therefore we hope that by communicating with us, any existing worries or doubts can be eliminated :)

We had an excellent experience with Paola and Salvatore. Our dog, Ziggy, stayed with them for two weeks, and despite sometimes struggling with separation anxiety, he seemed relaxed, happy, and very comfortable from the start. They kept us updated daily with messages and photos/videos, which we really appreciated. When we picked Ziggy up, he was calm, happy, and clearly very fond of them. We would happily leave him in their care again. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience with Paola :)! She was caring and lovely with out dog Arne. He felt comfortable and happy the entire time, and we got regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We would definitely trust them again and highly recommend Paola to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Paola and Salvatore were fantastic with our dog Penny. From the start, everything was smooth and reassuring: they were responsive, thoughtful, and kind with our Penny. While we were away, they kept us updated with messages and photos, which made it easy to see how comfortable she was in their care. Penny is usually shy around new people, but we could see she quickly felt at ease with them and built a lovely connection. They gave her plenty of exercise, attention, and affection, and made sure she stuck to her usual routine. When we picked her up, she was relaxed and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust Paola and Salvatore again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for truly caring pet sitters ❤️

We couldn’t have asked for better cat and house sitters! Paola along with Salvatore, took amazing care of our cat Nacho, who is usually shy and not very trusting with others, but he felt completely at ease with them. They gave him so much attention and love, it was clear he was in great hands. On top of that, they managed an unexpected ant infestation while we were away, kept our house plants healthy, and looked after the home with such care and responsibility. They’re not only incredibly trustworthy but also genuinely kind and wonderful people. We feel lucky to have them nearby and wouldn’t hesitate to ask for their help again!
