About Paula

Experience: 1 yr

Since I can remember, animals have been a constant and cherished part of my life. I grew up in Ecuador, a diverse country filled with rich biodiversity and a deep respect for all living beings. Surrounded by dogs, cats, and parakeets, I learned early on that pets are family. That loving environment shaped me into someone who values kindness, patience, and responsibility. I've developed strong instincts for keeping animals safe, happy, and comfortable whether by following routines, creating hazard-free spaces, or simply offering affection. I take time to bond with each animal, earning their trust with calm energy and gentle care. Being a pet caregiver is a responsibility I take to heart. I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. With a lifetime of experience and deep respect for animals, I'm committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment where pets feel truly cared for.
