Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pet in your home and always follow your instructions carefully to maintain their normal routine and comfort. I understand how important it is to keep things consistent for animals, so I will make sure to follow all feeding schedules, care notes, and any special directions you provide. I will also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away, including messages, photos, and any important notes about how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep you fully informed and reassured. Most importantly, I will care for your pet in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable, your home, so they can stay relaxed, secure, and stress-free while receiving attentive and loving care.

Information Paulina C. would like to know about your pet

I kindly ask that I be informed of any important details about your pet’s medical needs, behavioral tendencies, triggers, dietary restrictions, or preferences so I can provide the safest and most comfortable care experience possible.

A typical day

I spend time engaging pets in a way that matches their energy and personality, whether they’re playful or more relaxed. With cats and dogs, I enjoy interactive play using toys like wand teasers, balls, and puzzle feeders to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. For dogs, I also go on walks that are paced to their needs, whether it’s a brisk outing for high-energy pups or a slow, sniff-filled stroll for more relaxed ones. When pets aren’t in the mood for activity, I’m just as happy to provide calm companionship, sitting with them, offering gentle attention, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and not alone.

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets in many different life stages and personalities. I have a 15 year old senior Chihuahua who has been through surgeries and illnesses, and through attentive care, patience, daily walks, and lots of love, she is still healthy, happy, and strong today. I also rescued an adult cat from the street who is now around 3–4 years old. Helping him adjust taught me patience, understanding, and how important it is to make animals feel safe and comfortable. In addition, I have an energetic 8-month-old kitten who keeps me active and experienced with younger pets as well. I am also a runner who’s ran the Chicago marathon, I am prepared to keep up with high energy pups! My pets are truly my family, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. Under my care, your pets will be treated with the same patience, attention, love, and priority that I give my own.
