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 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.
Paige was such a considerate guest and very thoughtful w/r/t watching our dog! She asked great questions and clearly cared not only about keeping our dog safe but making sure any anxieties or concerns we had were allayed through solid communication! Would happily book with her again!
Paige was amazing with our cat! He is usually very shy around strangers but he warmed up to her right away. She was communicative, trustworthy, and proactive. She sent us a ton of pictures which gave us so much peace of mind! We would love to have her catsit for us in the future.
Thank you!

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. I do like to dedicate my Saturday mornings to a long run - don't worry though, I won't make them run that far with me ;) I am available for dog walks and pet visits starting at 12 noon on Saturdays. Sundays are my off days - your girl’s gotta get her rest 😴 😉
