Availability
I currently do not work a traditional 9-5. My schedule is fairly flexible. Not every day of the week is the same for me. I value flexibility. I’m currently not taking dog walk requests or drop ins on Saturdays and Sundays. Every once in a while I’ll make an exception. I offer pet sitting 7 days a week. Since I am a pet sitter and dog walker, there will be times I'll be out of the house for roughly four hours at a time. I need my dogs to be comfortable being left alone for 4 hours at a time.

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 pictures and videos to send to you! My housesitting dogs receive one complimentary 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.

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 did a fantastic job watching our two dogs. You could tell that she took great care and paid attention to the little details. We were very appreciative of her communication and had peace of mind knowing that our beloved pups were in good hands. Cannot say enough good things about our experience.
Paige was an outstanding sitter for my guy Petey. She consistently kept me in the loop with texts, photos, and videos. When my flight was canceled last minute and I needed to have Petey looked after another day she was flexible with her schedule and was able to help me out! I would absolutely recommend Paige for any kind of pet sitting you are looking for. She is top-notch.
Paige was so easy to work with and did an amazing job caring for our Corgis! She took lots of adorable pictures and they had a blast :)
Paige was amazing with Eddy. She was super communicative the whole time which gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Eddy loved her! She was also incredibly trustworthy and left the house spotless, which was very nice to come home to. Would definitely recommend her and looking forward to booking her again!
