Pet care experience

Expert. Experienced. Affectionate.

I’m currently living in the Santa Clarita area and having grown up in the Midwest, surrounded by animals, particularly dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens, I am very experienced in animal husbandry. I learned a lot during my time as an exhibitor at my local county fair where I actually showed all four of the species mentioned, and reached the highest achievement of Reserve Grand Champion Small Animal Showman. I have a lot of experience in caring for a large amount of animals as I had my own rabbitry and two show quality Bernese Mountain Dogs. When it comes to caring for other’s animals, I have done both long term and short term, from managing chinchillas for 6 months, to taking care of a cattery for a weekend to caring for a homestead to daily dog walk your precious pets will be well cared for and loved while you are away. Another thing I bring is veterinary experience. I previously worked in an emergency veterinary clinic, so I’m comfortable assessing situations, staying calm when something unexpected happens, and recognizing when an animal may need additional care. Outside of animals, I live to swim, hike, read classics, and go to the Getty. I’m entering my senior year of my pre-med degree and hope to become a physician!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every pet as an individual and do my best to maintain the routine they are already comfortable with. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and household rules. I also prioritize keeping the home secure and leaving it just as I found it.

Paul is a very responsible person. When given a task, he completes them. I also recommend him because he has taken care of my dogs in the past and had done a wonderful job.
