Pet care experience

Reliable & treats pets like family!

I have a huge love for animals of all sorts. I rode horses competitively for 11 years and am very passionate about caring for animals. You can trust that I will give your dog or cat plenty of love and affection! I worked at a vet clinic for a year and also grew up with two dogs so I have plenty of experience taking care of them, including senior animals and giving medication. Don’t hesitate to ask about exotic pets, I could accommodate for them & would give them lots of love too! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at your convenience, any time works for me. I look forward to taking care of your pet!

Really sweet with our dog! Let him out at the times we needed and updated me when she was there and leaving. Will definitely reach out again in the future! Thank you!

Paola communicated with us very well. One of our dogs is hesitant to meet new people but loved Paola and jumped up to sit next to her, which she has never done before. Paola was on time and walked the dogs and even their cat buddy joined them outside. Highly recommend Paola!

If your pet likes other animals then the park is always a great option. We can play catch there or we can even go to the beach!
