Availability
I'm a part-time student taking mostly online classes, and I also work part-time as a server with short shifts (4–6 hours). That means I have plenty of flexibility and time during the day to dedicate to pet care!

A typical day
I love engaging pets in activities that match their energy and personality! For dogs, that might mean walks, fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring smells on a safe adventure. For cats, I’m all about feather toys, and cozy cuddle sessions (if they’re into that!). Whether it’s playtime or chill time, I make sure your pet is happy, stimulated, and well-loved

Reviews
This our second time having Paola care for our furbabies while we were out of town and she was just as amazing as the last time. Words cannot express how much we appreciate her attention to detail and thoughtfulness. She even found a new game to play with our one kitty who doesn’t like to play very much! Paola truly takes all of our stress and worry away when we have to leave our babies. With Paola, we know they are in great hands!
Paola took such wonderful care of our babies while we were away for the weekend! She went above and beyond! We truly appreciated her taking the time to leave such detailed notes and sharing multiple pictures of our babies eating and playing throughout the time that we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her, especially to anyone who is nervous about hiring a cat sitter for the first time. We really didn’t know what to expect, but Paola put us at ease from the moment she arrived and treated our babies as if they were her own. We can’t thank you enough, Paola!!
Paola was recommended to me at work, she has been doing overnights for me since April 2025. She has an incredible attitude and energy, both of my pups love having her over. I couldn’t recommend her more!!
Paola has been taking care of my boy chachis for a little over half a year. Having her around my pets and home when I am unable leaves me with an invaluable peace of mind.
