Helpful cat care specialist
Pet care experience
*NO LONGER OFFERING SERVICES IN CHARLESTON* I'm a recent graduate of the College of Charleston with majors in Sociology/Psychology and Studio Art, and I am now pet sitting full time which leaves lots of time for your pets; this includes late night, weekend, and holiday care. In my education, I took courses in conditioning and learning which has applications in pet behavior and training. Additionally, I worked as an ABA therapist for 6 months helping children with autism spectrum disorders. I'm always up for a challenge :) I know that other pets are also part of the family. Beyond dogs and cats, I am happy to discuss care for reptiles, exotics, rodents, rabbits, and fish as well! I am also certified in cat and dog CPR and basic first aid through the American Red Cross, see my photos for my certificate. I am comfortable administering oral medication (pills and liquid) such as gabapentin and chemotherapy, insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids, and other medication/equipment like slings. Meet and greets are complementary and I'm happy to learn how to use any other medication I'm lacking experience in. I am privately insured through Pet Care Insurance for additional coverage beyond the Rover Guarantee. Originally from Indiana, I've grown up around animals and love to interact with every pet's unique personality. I live with my cats, Adora and Smudge, and help my parents with their dog and cat as well. I've been called a cat whisperer for even the most timid of cats. Walking and pet sitting helps me keep busy and healthy (a win win!). I'm also a dog walker for Wag! and absolutely love it with over 130 5-star reviews. I have experience with dog breeds ranging from teacup Yorkies to Great Danes, 10 week old spaniel puppies to 15 year old blind seniors; I love them all. Check out my photos for some highlights. If you prefer to not do a meet and greet, I also have a thorough form to give me some notes and information. Feel free to request it and I'm happy to send it to you. Virtual or phone meet and greet are also an option. In addition to my pet experience, I worked in the wedding industry for several years and would love to help on your special day. Contact me for wedding attendant rates!
Reviews
Paris was great! She quickly bonded with our kitty and made us feel comfortable leaving him in her hands. I would highly recommend her services :)
We love Paris and are so sad she is moving away. 10/10 recommended Paris, she took care of my pup just as her own!
Very thorough, responsive and reliable!
Paris was great! She took care of my two senior dogs for the weekend and sent me pics and updates. I could tell the dogs really enjoyed seeing her each day!

Safety, trust & environment
Many pets are anxious in new environments; I have pet CBD I can administer as needed as well as white noise machines, extra toys, and activity feeders to keep them busy during a my visits, if needed.
Information Paris S. would like to know about your pet
I love all pets, just let me know any details, behavioral or medical, I should I know in advance. I want to ensure your pet gets the best care possible, and sometimes I am not the best fit!
A typical day
I like to customize what I do with each pet depending on that pet's unique personality and owner request. Walking to the dog park and playing is a given, but I also love to walk along the ample paths and parks in Fort Wayne. I have recently moved back and am excited to explore!

Availability
I live in the Foster Park area, but am typically able to travel anywhere within a ~10 mile radius for walks and drop-ins visits while you're away. I have access to my own car that is very reliable and I am glad to drive to most places in the metro area. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I am also happy to travel to other destinations for house sitting, please message me for details. HOUSE SITTING: This service (with the exception of destination sitting) includes minimum 2 drop-ins during the day and approximately 10-12 hours overnight, typically 8pm-8am. Additional walks or drop-ins beyond the included 2 can be booked as an add on to the sitting. I offer 24/7 care at a set rate of $250/per 24 hour period with up to 4 pets (not available during the holidays). Discounts may be provided for strictly overnight care. Any non-emergent messages or requests sent after 8 pm will be responded to in the morning. Thank you!
