Reviews
Paula is an excellent sitter. She provided multiple updates per day with photos without even asking! She also checked in with us to let us know when she was home with our pets. Very attentive & our pets were happy!
Paula was a very good sitter. She loved my pup and helped give him some exercise and food! She took great pics and was willing be flexible with her time!
"Working with Paula Vivas was an absolute blessing for our family and our beloved furry friends. Their dedication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals were evident from the moment we met. Whether caring for our energetic pup or our shy kitty, went above and beyond to ensure they felt loved, comfortable, and well-cared for in our absence. Their regular updates and photos brought us peace of mind, knowing our pets were in capable and caring hands. We couldn't recommend Paula highly enough – they truly became a part of our family!"
