Paola was absolutely outstanding! She took wonderful care of my pets and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, kind, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Communication was excellent throughout my booking. I received regular updates and photos, which made it easy to see that my pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Paola went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of, and it truly showed. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Paola again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional pet sitter. She's the best!

Paola took excellent care of my dog and even went to the trouble of buying pill pockets when he refused his pills. I will definitely board with her again.

Big thanks to Paola for taking care of our furbaby while we were traveling! She stayed at our home and was the perfect houseguest. Even though it was extremely hot while we were traveling, Paola made sure our pup got his daily walks. We look forward to working with Paola again.

Paola took great care of our senior dog and house! Our dog’s health needs changed right before Paola’s stay, and she adapted easily to make sure our dog was well cared for. We loved the regular photo updates!

Paula was very professional and communicative. She has a lot of experience and asked good questions about my pets. She was also really flexible during the visit with some hiccups that were not her fault. Thank you Paola

Schedule

I recently started a break from working as a veterinary technician so I am home full time so I am able to dedicate as much time as necessary based on pet's needs.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has caged pets
Has no pets
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard but can walk pet up to three times a day on pet's energy levels. House is three floors with two 25-35lbs senior dogs and a guinea pig occupying the first and second floors. Sitted pet will stay on the renovated and carpeted basement floor with me. Pet will be crated whenever I leave the house but will never be crated for longer than 4 hours at the maximum (shorter maximum duration if pet is incontinent or has other chronic issues). Pets are allowed on furniture however if this goes against your training I am willing to enforce furniture off limits. Pet will also have access to at least one dog bed and moistureproof dog blanket.

A typical day

Activities vary based on the needs of each dog. Activities can include fetch in a fenced yard, tug of war, and going on extended walks on nature trails.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Crate-trained dogs only
Takes only 1 client at a time
Paola can host up to 1 pet per night
Please let me know about any quirks or medical issues in advance so that I may plan and prepare accordingly in order to optimize care.
