Paola is awesome. Nothing but good things to say about her pet services. She always goes above and beyond.

Paola took great care of my dog and sent me lots of pictures and updates and was extremely flexible when my flights were delayed with the timing of picking my dog up. I would definitely recommend her!

As always, Paola was great with Molly. Molly had an injured paw from a broken toe nail and Paola followed all of the instructions our vet gave us including keeping her cone on and administering her antibiotic. It was a relief knowing she’d be in good hands while we were away.
