I founded Sweet Paws pet sitting because of my love and devotion for animals. From a young age I often I found myself rescuing cats and dogs from shelters. I developed a true understanding of animals by spending time with them and leaning their behaviors.

A native to Italy, in my mid 20s I came to the United States to study English. After completing my English studies I moved to Seattle, WA, to finish my education. I received my Bachelor and Master degrees in Business Administration.

While in Seattle I met my furry best friend Pookie, my loving cat. Pookie was a couple of weeks old when I found her in an alley, where she was severely in need of love and medical attention. I nursed to health and 13 years later she is a happy, healthy cherish member of my family.

When I moved to LA with Pookie, I joined a network that rescues animals from shelters and abusive situations. I am an advocate for animal rights; in May 2009 I participated with the Scotland Sun’s campaign against animal cruelty.

I founded Sweet Paws because I know how hard it is to leave our beloved pets with friends or strangers. I am committed to providing the best professional care to you and your pets and creating a loving and relaxed atmosphere for your furry friends while you are away.
