Information Paula P. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding routine, medications, behavior around other animals, and any triggers or fears they may have. I also appreciate knowing their favorite toys, comfort items, and what helps them feel safe—this helps me provide the best care possible. For house sitting: please provide detailed care instructions so that I can plan around your pet’s routine. We can avoid last minute troubles if we plan ahead of time.

Pet care experience

I’m a compassionate and intuitive pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for multi-pet households, including cats, senior dogs, and puppies. I’m a great fit for pets who prefer women sitters and more comfortably soft-spoken environments. My prices to my services accomodate administering medications, dietary restrictions, grooming needs, and a customized schedule to fit yours. I also offer my space to accommodate cats and dogs who are interested in being with other cats and a small dog. I have lived experience in pet first aid and pet medication having a handy first aid kit for them. I can trim nails and groom thoroughly. I prioritize creating a calm, stress-free environment and pay close attention to subtle behavioral cues. I’m trustworthy, attentive, and proactive when needed, while always handling both pets and homes with care and respect. I like to leave your space clean and well-maintained—often better than I found it. I dedicate significant time to respecting your home, maintaining cleanliness, and ensuring your pet stays safe, happy, and consistent with their routine.

Paula did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cat. She followed our very detailed instructions, especially for caring for our cat with health problems and who has a habit of ingesting foreign objects. She sent tons of photos and responded promptly to our messages. When we came back, the house was clean and the pets were happy. We’d definitely hire her again!

Paula was sweet, considerate and responsible. She was responsive and competent. I felt Maxi was in good hands with her. She even did additional tasks like cutting his nails and vacuuming the pellet dust from the litter box. Most importantly, I could feel that she truly loves animals and treats them respectfully. It was easy to communicate with her and I would definitely recommend her to anyone with a cat. She sent me almost 100 (!) photos of Maxi :D and kept me in a constant loop about what's going on and if Maxi is eating and how he is behaving. It made me feel safe and I would book her again! Thank you, Paula!

This was our first time using Rover for pet sitting services and we were very pleased. Paula had relevant experience for one of our cats who needs medication, which was key in our selection of her as a sitter (FIP diagnosis and treatment). She organized her schedule to meet with us via video ahead of time, which we always appreciate, and she also came to our home for an in person walk-through of the house and security system. At the beginning of the sit, our cat who needed medication proved to be quite the little Houdini as far as hiding and avoiding her dose. Paula made us aware of the situation and between us, a helping hand from a friend, and a few FaceTime conversations (on Christmas Eve no less!), we were able to locate and medicate the little devil. We then came up with a new plan to avoid issues, but I really applaud Paula’s cool head and flexibility as it was definitely a challenge. Paula also communicated every day, and included pictures and videos of the kitty kids so I knew they were happy and well-fed. Our little trouble maker kitten also managed to cut her foot which Paula spotted and treated immediately. Paula was very reliable during the sit, including staying a bit later when our flight time changed, and when we arrived, everything was tidy and the other cats were clearly relaxed and happy. If I need a drop-in sitter again, I will definitely rebook her.
