About: Hi, I’m Paula! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve had dogs since I was 8 years old, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a complete softie for pets, and I do everything in my power to make sure every dog or cat in my care feels safe, loved, and genuinely happy. At home, my family includes two American Bullies and one cat, so I’m very comfortable with multi‑pet households and all the energy, personality, and joy that comes with them. I have a special love for bully breeds, but I truly enjoy working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Because my own pets have needed medication in the past, I’m experienced with administering medicine and keeping pets calm and comfortable during the process. Whether it’s daily routines, special instructions, or extra cuddles, I’m attentive and committed to giving each pet the best experience possible. My home is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from Medal of Honor Park—perfect for walks, sniff breaks, and outdoor time. I’m also only about 15 minutes from Hophounds, the dog park/bar, which gives me even more options for fun outings when appropriate. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, pays attention to the little things, and genuinely loves what they do, I’d be honored to care for your furry loved ones. Pet care is already a built‑in part of my everyday life. With two American Bullies and a cat at home, my routine naturally revolves around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need. I’m used to managing different personalities and schedules, so adding another pet into my routine feels seamless. Throughout the week, I make time for morning and evening walks, enrichment, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping up with any medications or special instructions. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, it never feels like an extra task—it’s just part of how my days flow. Whether it’s daily check‑ins or longer stays, I’m already in the rhythm of providing consistent, loving care. When pets stay in my home, they’re welcomed into a calm, safe, and pet‑friendly environment. I have two American Bullies and a cat, so I’m already used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels comfortable. I keep routines consistent with what each pet is used to—regular feeding times, walks, play sessions, enrichment, and plenty of affection. My home is in a quiet neighborhood just blocks from Medal of Honor Park, which makes daily walks and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel secure while their family is away. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding and litter care to walks, medication, and any special needs. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether that means slow introductions, extra playtime, or simply offering calm companionship. In both settings, my goal is the same: to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for, just like I do with my own animals

“Alexis was amazing! I requested to book with her last min and she accepted. My puppy was well taken care of had a blast!”

“Michael was amazing and has the prefect house and yard for the pups to exercise and play. Michael treated our foster babies like his own and provided us with pictures, videos and updates to keep our minds at ease while we were away. I will definitely request Michael to pup-sit for our next trip, and highly recommend Michael to anyone needing a pet sitter! Thank you Michael!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs and I also have my own dog, Bonnie, who is a beloved part of my family. Caring for Bonnie has taught me how important it is to provide pets with patience, love, attention, and a consistent routine. I am comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, keeping pets company, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I always take the time to learn their routine and make them feel at home. I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give them plenty of love and attention while their family is away. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I am home full-time and have a very flexible schedule, making my home a comfortable and welcoming place for your pet to stay. I am available for boarding and can provide your pet with plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day. Your pet will also have the company of my sweet dog, Bonnie, who is a friendly and beloved part of our family. I will make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe around her and receives plenty of individual attention as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel like part of the family. I have my own dog, Bonnie, and I am very attentive to her safety and well-being. My yard is not fenced, so I never allow Bonnie to go outside without being on a leash. I would follow the same routine with your pet and always take them outside on a leash to make sure they are safe and secure. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will closely supervise your pet, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care throughout their stay. My goal is for you to feel confident and comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for in my home.

“Caitlin was incredible with our two cats. They were shy and scared being away from home for the first time but they were both treated well and well-cared for by Caitlin, who kept us updated throughout tue day with photos. Thank you immensely Caitlin!”

“Gabrielle went way above and beyond while looking after my two dogs! They enjoyed at least two walks per day and frequent visits and lots of TLC, as well as some unexpected perks regarding behavior modification, i.e. she got one of my dogs to bark less! She was an absolute gem and frequently sent videos and photos of my dogs when I was away for three nights. I highly recommend using Gabrielle for your next special friend sitter!”

About: I have a small apartment duplex-home, and a privacy fenced backyard that is specifically for the enjoyment of dogs: including a splash pad! I am home through-out the day and all night long. My dog guests play in the back yard as I supervise, have access to the couch and bed or can be crated. Experienced in dog sporting events, medications and separation anxiety. Owners provide their own food. My life is centered around my dogs and I work from home. I have extra crates available if needed or your fur baby can supervise me as I work. Dogs are never left outside unattended. Dogs are let out either separately or with another depending on temperament. Dogs are all fed separately to avoid any conflicts. The splash pad is available every time they go outside if they choose to play with it along with oodles of toys. Dog poo removed immediately to ensure a safer yard environment.
