Pet care experience

I've had pets to care for since I was a small child, including senior dogs and cats and those with medical issues to address. As a adult, I regularly cook chicken and fish to supplement the commercial food for the two cats that live with me. NOTE: My cats are used to dogs joining us. Until they become familiar, they generally hide in a pet bed under my bed.

Paula is the best! Very warm and kind to both the human and the furry four legger.

Paula was a wonderful sitter for my small rescue dog. She was super gentle with him, kept him cozy the entire day. She sent me wonderful pictures with kind updates throughout the day. This was very reassuring for us since it was our first experience with Rover or any dog sitter for that matter. We could not be more thankful that Paula accepted our last minute request to pet sit for us. She is also wonderfully located for anyone visiting historic Philly. Thank you Paula for making our first time on Rover a wonderful experience!

Paula has a warm, gentle demeanor that immediately made my very nervous dog feel more at ease!

We are so grateful for the care Paula gave our senior dog. We were in town for a wedding and Paula cared for our dog during our festivities. Paula was patient and very accommodating. We highly recommend her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
