Pet care experience

Personalized experiences!

Hi there! I've been an animal lover since I was very young, and that passion led me to study 3 years of veterinary medicine and complete a veterinary assistant course. I combine that technical knowledge with a caring, detail-oriented approach to give your pet the care it deserves. I'm currently building my own pet care business, and I'd love to be part of the trusted team of people who look after your furry friend while you're away. I know every pet has their own personality and energy level, so I offer a personalized experience tailored to what each furry companion needs to feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care.

Paula was amazing! we had a previous bad experience with another person and it has been years since we even thought about using Rover again. We were nervous and hesitant when we booked with Paula but since we started the communication something told me it will be fine. I couldn’t be more happy with Paula she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy and us too. She took care of them with so much love and care they had the best sitter. We finally found the perfect sitter for our dogs. Thank you Paula Simba and Snoopy love you and had a blast

Ella cuida de mis mascotas desde hace mucho tiempo y siempre ha sido responsable y amorosa con cada uno. Siempre está enviándome fotos y videos. Cumple con sus paseos, comidas y treats. Su servicio es excelente además que siempre le da sus medicinas o un baño sencillo cuando lo necesitan. Ella sin duda es la mejor, sabe cómo tratar a mis peluditos.❤️‍🩹✨🙏🏽

Safety, trust & environment

Trust and safety are at the core of everything I do. With my background in veterinary medicine and a veterinary assistant course, I know how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and respond calmly and responsibly. I'm committed to ongoing learning so I can always provide the best care possible, giving you peace of mind that your furry friend is safe and in good hands.

A typical day

A typical day starts with checking each pet's instructions and schedule. Then it's walks, playtime, and lots of love, always paying attention to their energy. I keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout, and end the day with a happy, tired, well cared for pet.

Paula can host up to 5 pets per night
Before our first meeting, it helps me to know a few things about your pet: their daily routine (feeding times, walks, naps), any medical needs or medications, behavioral quirks (fears, triggers, favorite toys), and how they usually react to new people. Knowing your pet's personality ahead of time helps me tailor my care to make them feel comfortable and safe from day one.
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.
