Pet care experience
I have 13 years of experience caring for animals, not just dogs. I've volunteered at animal shelters since I was 16, and have fostered dogs for the last 5 years. I have 10 years of experience walking and boarding all breeds and sizes. I have two Husky mixes and a pit mix of my own, but they're more like my furry babies. My girl, Marsha, I trained 100% on my own and she is now a certified service dog! My boy, Goose, competes in dock diving and has placed second in Florida twice! My girl, Caliope, is the newest addition and is a trained bird dog! I normally will skate or bike with my own dogs to let them run some of their energy out. Feeding is done separately; my dogs are fed in their individual crates. My front door doesn't open directly to the street and I have a baby gate in front of my main door to prevent anyone from door darting. I love being outside and would love your furry friend's company! I do pet sitting/boarding/walking full time so I am always available! I just moved to Atmore so my schedule is fairly open right now, even over the holidays! I usually take my dogs on a skate/bike first thing in the morning, a mid afternoon walk, and a nighttime walk as well. I have "brain games" to mentally stimulate them. The toy basket is fair game, and my babies love to share. There isn't really any place dogs can't be in my home, except the kitchen if I'm cooking. I'm completely open and flexible to accommodate your pet! I don’t leave the dogs unsupervised ever. At my home, dogs have free reign of the house and are welcomed to sit on the couch or sleep on the bed, if you allow it. At your house, I will treat it however you wish and with whatever rules you outline.
Reviews
Paige took care of my senior lab for 9 days and I’ve never been more impressed! Thor can be particularly difficult and I have no doubt Paige was patient and gentle. Her communication is top notch. She even took Thor to his vet appointment so I didn’t have to reschedule. She also does grooming and does a great job! I came home to a clean house and clean pup. She’s great.
Paige walked my dog for me during the week of Thanksgiving. Was very communicative and helpful. Spent lots of time with my dog Molly, who is normally very anxious. Paige’s calm energy connects to animals differently. 10/10.
I recently had Paige watch my 6 month old golden retriever puppy Zack for 5 days. We’re currently in training, and while Paige was watching our pup I was sent daily clips of them working on commands! Paige even made sure to attend the training class for that week so Zack didn’t fall behind. Paige did a great job listening to what I need for Zack! Highly recommend!
Paige is AWESOME! I have two senior pitbulls and a young australian shepherd. They recently spent 10 days with Paige and her huskies. My young one came back a completely different dog; very calm and well behaved. You’re sent multiple pictures and daily updates! Paige is our main dog sitter now!

My personal dogs stay on a leash or a long line while were outside. My huskies are runners, and the long line helps keep them secure while they plah and sniff. Inside, my dogs are welcome on the couch, but also have their own bedroom.
Information Paige A. would like to know about your pet
If there are any special needs or accommodations your pet needs, please let me know! I have years of experience with special needs as well as senior animals. I can administer oral medication as well as injected medication. I have a medically needy pup, so I know it can be stressful, but I'm here to help!
A typical day
I’m all about exercising them mentally as well as physically. I have snuffle mats I use for dogs I watch, I have puzzle games, and I really like the flirt pole to get some extra energy out. I go on frequent walks and multiple potty breaks. There is a park near me my pups love to visit and get a lot of sniffing in. I love nature trails and being outside!

My entire day is based on what the animals need. Pet care is a big part of my life. My dogs are very different and require very different things, and theyre the center of my universe.
