About Paulina

Hi there, Paulina here! I wanted to give a little back story on myself, and how I found this wonderful career of mine.

I was born and raised in Hawaii, where I spent most of my time outdoors with all the critters Hawaii has to offer. I knew from an early age I had a different relationship with animals from the other kids, and connected with them on a deeper level. I have had all types of pets throughout my life (dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, arachnids, etc.) My first full time job out of high school was dog grooming, which I absolutely loved doing for about 5 years. I took a break from the animal world to pursue a fine arts degree in college, and explored working in a hair salon for another 5 years. After a while, I knew I had to go back to the pet world - I missed it! I got a job working for a holistic pet food company, starting as a sales associate and quickly moving my way up to management. During my time there I went through extensive training regarding pet nutrition, pet safety, and pet behavior. After about 8 years with this company, I started considering a new career path - pet care! I worked as a dog handler for a couple different companies, and very quickly realized I wanted to start my own.

For the first time in my life, I am SURE this is what I’m meant to do! The bonds that I form with my clients and their pets are unmatched, and I couldn’t imagine dedicating my life to anything else. Loving what I do is an understatement, and I can’t wait to meet your furry (or scaly) loved ones!

Violet

This is Violet! She came to me as a small puppy back in 2016, when I lived up north in the Bay Area. She immediately became my most perfect companion, it was us against the world! She is the first half of Rockstar Pet Care’s mascots, and continues to befriend any new pups that come our way!

Primrose

This is Prim! I met her in 2019, at an adoption event where I was working the booth for the pet supply company I worked for at the time. I just knew she would be the most perfect little sister to my Violet! She was rescued from a meat farm in Korea, and was brought to the states to find her forever home. Prim and Violet were immediate best friends at their meet and greet, and the rest is history!
