“Paola did a great job. She did everything that was requested to look after my cat, Trixie. Trixie would be fine either way so this was more about me and my neuroses. Paola showed up as scheduled to feed and water Trixie. She also sent pics so I could see how Trixie was doing. This is definitely the way to go and Paola was the right choice. Paola was respectful of my home and cat. With Paola’s help, I was able to enjoy my weekend away.”

About: Shepards, terriers, labs, or bullies- whatever your breed, it’s for me! For 9+ years, I have provided dogs with the care they expect and treat them with the love and routines their parent gives them everyday. With your guidance and direction, I offer your dogs the opportunity to run, play, grab toys, and even talk or sing- if that’s their thing. With my tummy rubbing expertise, dogs find themselves quickly spoiled and excited to see me time and time again. I offer running with your dog up to 15 minutes at your dog’s preferred pace. To run, dogs are required to have a chest harness and leash training. Dogs being actively leash trained will be considered. Repeat customers may book outside the Rover App. I am available to walk, drop in, and housesit in the Morristown, Chatham, Summit and, surrounding areas in the mornings and evenings on weekdays and most times on weekends. I work full time in Morristown. I care for pets in your home by utilizing the space they are most familiar with in a way that is comfortable to them. This looks like following your dog’s normal routines around feeding, playing, and relaxing. Additionally, I will respect your home, keeping it clean and secure. I’m known for my compassion, ethics, and going above and beyond.

About: I've lived with dogs my whole life and have a bunch of dog friends that I love saying hello to on my walks. I am often trusted to watch or walk dogs by family members and friends. I have been told that I am very good with dogs, and I love them all the same, I love saying hi to dogs on my walks and I often go to my mother's house to help take care of our Beagle. Dogs are my happy place and I live being around them! On days when it is raining out and we can't walk outside as much as we'd like I like to play with the dogs inside the house for a bit to help get out the extra energy, it's a lot of fun!

About: I’m extremely patient and willing to work with a variety of dog breeds and personalities. Also willing to meet ahead of watching them if that makes you more comfortable! I have a 1 ½ year old Havapoo named Charlie and she was extremely stubborn to train at first but now we both look forward to our training sessions where she can learn new tricks! I love her with my whole heart and I really want to spread by love to others by helping take care of your dogs!

Very free on the weekends and happy to work around your schedules. I am very big on having a routine and that’s what works best for me and my dog Charlie. She knows when it’s time to go on a walk and when it’s time for dinner. This helped a lot with potty training. I’m happy to work with whatever routine you have set or anything specific your dog needs while they are in my care.
