Hi, my name is Paige, and I can't wait to spend time with your pet! A bit about me: I am an avid dog and animal lover who would love to spend some time with your pet(s)! I have been a dog owner for most of my life, and have been pet-sitting for over 14 years. I started sitting for non-family clients at a very young age, then spent 12 years pet-sitting in Boston. I have experience with many types of pets, from greyhounds, dachshunds, and Newfoundlands to cats, rodents, and reptiles. During COVID, I joined a local rescue as a foster home for dogs, which allowed me to build upon my skills with pups. In addition to my love of animals, I am compassionate, reliable, and trustworthy. I am also independently insured. My pet-sitting style: It is very important to cater to each animal and their comfort level. If your pet is shy or anxious, that is okay! I want them to take their time to warm up to me and will do everything I can to make them feel safe and loved. I have many clients who have some anxieties or phobias, whether it is a dislike of skateboards, food or dog aggression, resource guarding, or being terrified of thunderstorms. I am willing to go above and beyond to ensure their needs are met. I am also able to administer medication as needed. Many pets experience some stress or anxiety when their owners are away- this is normal. I'll often start a stay by taking pups for a long walk to take their minds off their humans being away! My schedule generally allows for 3 walks or drop-ins a day on weekdays- the first between 6am-10am, the second 5pm-8pm, and a late night potty break.
