Care you can absolutely count on!

Pet care experience

Experienced and responsible sitter available to care for and cuddle your fur baby. In addition to Rover, I have more than 20 5-star reviews available on another platform, which I am happy to provide access to. You will find me reliable, communicative and dependable, but more importantly I am a true animal lover. Recently retired - and readily available. Experienced with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments I have a fenced patio area with plenty of grassy walking areas near by. I live with my son and his girlfriend (college students) who are also huge dog lovers. I’m currently retired, but taking a class online, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I will make myself completely flexible to the needs of your pet. We have a fenced patio area with plenty of good walking areas nearby. Friendly neighbors and two college-age roommates who are as crazy about animals as I am. I foster DPS dogs from time-to-time, but when I’m fostering, I block out my calendar in order to give them 100% of my attention.

Paula is wonderful. Great communication throughout my pups whole stay. She was very warm and gentle with Pogo and by the end of it- Pogo looked right at home in her arms. 100% recommend Paula and will absolutely book her again.

Paula was great with Chase. Took good care of our puppy. Chase got car sick and Paula cleaned all his bedding and crate. I felt comfortable with leaving him with Paula. Thanks Paula

My puppy Mocha loves Paula! Whenever Mocha spends time with Paula, she always seems happy and naps a lot (probably means Paula plays with her a lot 😊) Paula was very accommodating with my work schedule, and I appreciate it. Thank you!

Paula is very communicative and patient! My pup requires a good amount of attention and guidance and she gave more than I could ask for. When it’s time to go home, Alma had so much fun to the point where she wants to stay! Would highly recommend Paula and am very appreciative of the caring attitude and personality she exudes!

Safety, trust & environment

I love all clients pets as if they were my own, but am faithful to following the directions of the owners. If they say, no treats, then no treats it is. Need lots of snuggles? Then that’s how we spend the day

Information Paula D. would like to know about your pet

I don’t sit for extremely large or aggressive dogs. I want to provide competent and assured care for your dog - and after 30+ sits, I know my limits. I understand the importance of a good fit so that your pet has the best experience possible while you are away.

A typical day

I go on 2 walks in the neighborhood daily, even when not sitting. If you are okay with it, we can visit parks or head out to a trail. Love playing fetch and with tug toys if that’s your dog’s thing. Cat care will, obviously, depend on your cats temperament
