a fan of all critters!
Pet care experience
I've had experience fostering dogs through APA! I grew up around dog training so I picked up a few things here and there. If your furry child is shy or stubborn, I know how to be calm and assertive. Or if you need someone to wear them out, I can take them on a run with me! For over twenty years, I’ve had experience handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I am confident and comfortable in any situation! My goal is to make your best friend as comfortable as possible.
Reviews
Paige is the greatest! When I return home from work, my dog is extra excited after he’s had a visit! Paige is trustworthy, consistent, and a true lifesaver if you’re away from your fur-baby too much.
Paige was an amazing sitter for our pets (3 cats and dog). She was patient with our dog who was weary of strangers in the beginning but soon grew fond and trusting of her. Paige was respectful of our wishes and directions regarding feeding and exercise schedules. She sent us updates (pictures and videos) often and let us know how everyone was doing daily during our trip. We would definitely recommend Paige abd hope to book her again in the future.
It was a pleasure work with Paige
Paige is great! She always communicates her arrival time and shares photos and updates from the walk. My dog always comes back a bit worn out and very happy. He is always waiting at the door and excited to see Paige.

I am very receptive to rules. If you tell me how to board or crate your kiddo, I will do that! I'll also take lots of pictures and videos to send to you! My housesitting dogs get one 30 minute walk per day. If they need an extra walk, I will provide that at a discounted rate. All of my housesitting babies will receive the attention they need ♥️🐾. For dogs who are aggressive towards people, I require a meet-and-greet with you and your dog before walking/sitting. I find this type of introduction helps reduce your dogs anxiety, and helps them be at ease while you’re away :)
Information Paige B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the energy level of your pet and what kind of walks they enjoy. Do they have a favorite toy? I would also need to know if they are reactive to anything such as squirrels or other dogs. This would make everyone’s experience much more enjoyable.
A typical day
I love to expose dogs to as much as what is appropriate. For example, the first dog I fostered needed lots of exercise and mental stimulation. I would bring him to Pease Park, the state capital grounds, and even coffee shops that allowed dogs. The second dog I fostered needed a lot of space to decompress. She was very timid, so I worked in slowly exposing her to walks in the neighborhood. I loved watching her come out of her shell. I understand each pet is unique and requires their own special attention.

Availability
I currently do not work a traditional 9-5. My schedule is pretty flexible. Not every day of the week is the same for me. I value flexibility. I’m currently not taking requests on Saturdays and Sundays. Every once in a while I’ll make an exception.
