Safety, trust & environment

When doing drop-in visits, I aim to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free while you're away.

Whether your pet needs quiet companionship or energetic outdoor play, I adjust my care to match their needs.

Paola does a great job taking care of our two cats. She shows them love and gives them attention that they need. She sends us pictures and videos of them. I will use her again. and would recommend her to others needing a pet sitter.

One of them needed medication twice daily and she had experience to handle that!! I highly recommend Paola and I will use her again!!

Paola is perfect for this job. She is attentive, responsible and caring. She has veterinary medicine knowledge as she is a vet tech herself, this is a wonderful addition because she truly knows what’s good and bad for your pet. I’ve seen her care for other animals, she makes sure to give them proper love and care under any circumstance.

Schedule

As a third‑year chiropractic student, I keep a structured clinic schedule, but I always make room for the pets I care for. I’m in clinic Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:00 AM–1:00 PM, and Tuesdays from 1:30 PM–6:30 PM. That means I’m available for drop‑in visits and dog walks before and after those times, with flexible availability throughout the weekends. With four years of veterinary technician experience, I’m confident handling feeding, medications, enrichment, and potty breaks for pets of all ages and temperaments—whether it’s a playful kitten, a senior dog, or even a small animal like a guinea pig. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take pride in offering reliable, compassionate support. If you’re looking for someone dependable and experienced, I’d love to see if our schedules align.

I like to know if the pet I’ll be caring for has any medical conditions, takes medications, or has any special needs. Having access to their vet history or records is very helpful—especially in case of an emergency. It’s also a plus if they’re up to date on vaccines, on flea and tick preventives, and spayed or neutered. Knowing this information ahead of time allows me to make informed, responsible decisions and provide the safest, most personalized care possible for your pet.
