Safety, trust & environment

I care deeply for my dogs and constantly research how to provide the best care. This includes understanding what types of food are suitable, investigating any recalls on brands, monitoring their nail length, ensuring they receive mental stimulation, tracking their exercise frequency, and knowing how many hours they sleep. I also regularly clean their food and water bowls.

Information Paula G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if the dog is special need, what they are comfortable with, what they don’t like, what they like, what their boundaries are. You can trust that I will take care of your pets as if they were my own.

A typical day

Additionally, I have a special needs dog who is deaf due to inbreeding. I assist him with getting in and out of the car or navigating high places, such as beds and couches. He understands sign language and can follow commands like "sit," "wait," "go," and "come."

Pet care experience

Hello everyone, my name is Paula Garcia. I am currently studying to become a veterinarian and have a total of 12 animals, ranging from dogs to hermit crabs. I have been training and caring for my three dogs since I was 12 years old. When I turned 15, I started working to support them financially. I hold a first aid certification for dogs and have over six years of experience in their care. This includes walking, feeding, providing mental stimulation, giving nutritional advice, and even clipping their nails. I also have a strong understanding of various breeds and their specific care requirements. Rest assured, I will treat your pets as if they were my own.

Paula was amazing with our animals and her communication was excellent. It’s obvious she’s very comfortable with pet care, easing my mind so I could enjoy my vacation. We will definitely use her for future pet sitting!

Paula did an amazing job caring for our Golden Retriver Thor. She always arrived on time and provided detailed updates/pictures for us on how he did. When we got back Thor was as happy as could be and loved hanging out with her. I definitely recommend booking with Paula for any of your pet needs!

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.
