Pet care experience

Fun, responsible & caring dog lover

I am available for drop in visits or walks in the Shorewood and Minooka area. I am also available to watch your dog(s) in my home. I have a fully fenced yard, a very friendly Boxer mix, and plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I have been around dogs all my life. I recently had to let my Saint Bernard cross the Rainbow Bridge just shy of his 13th birthday. I volunteer and foster dogs/puppies from a few local rescues. I am very responsible and will treat your dog like I would my own. I love dogs of all sizes and all personalities. I can send you updates and pictures of my visits with your dog so you can see they are well taken care of.

Paula was amazing with my dog Chase. She sent updates each day along with pictures. I felt very good my whole trip knowing Chase was in a safe and secure home. I will recommend Paula to anyone needing their animals watched and I personally will go to Paula each time I need her again. Thank you again Paula. Scott and Chase

Paula was amazing with not only making me feel comfortable having her watch my dog, but I could tell my dog was happy in her home. She sent me pictures of him throughout his stay and I could see he was safe and happy! Paula is the best!

Paula and her family were so amazing to our pup Rexx. While we were away she sent us photos and kept us updated. Paula is fantastic!

When I think of a "dog person" I think of Paula! She is great with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. She is very intuitive to a dogs needs and shows a lot of love and compassion!

I would highly recommend Paula to care for, walk, take care of your dog. She will go above & beyond call of duty. Paula is a doglover, dog Mom, volunteer, and rescuer. She has been around dogs all her life and always puts their needs first. You can put your mind at ease when Paula is caring for your pets.

Paula would do exceptionally well in the position of caregiver as she is very responsible & just loves dogs. She has recused several dogs while out and about walking or driving, two in the last two weeks. She is compassionate & understanding of the dogs needs Joanne P.

I am a teacher so I am off for the summer. I work one mile from home so can come home during my lunch time if your dog needs a potty break.

Pets

A typical day

I can take your dog for walks wherever you usually take them or someplace new in your area. Do they like to play with toys - I can play along with them. Do they like to just hang out and have someone sit and talk to them, look no further. I also take care of other animals, such as cats, birds, iguanas, ferrets, hamsters, etc.

Does your dog have any fears? Do they like other dogs or not so much? Do they have any injuries? I will accommodate any special requests as I know all dogs have different personalities.
