Pet care experience

Pets well looked after while you're away!

Having had dogs while growing up and in my adult years I know how important it is for you to leave your dog with someone you trust while you are away. I guarantee lots of cuddles, fun and all the walks and exercise your furry friend might need, as long as a great playmate in my own dog Billy :) I can provide special attention if your dog has an ongoing condition or needs extra/less exercise. Your dog will have all the attention they need and I will keep you updated with all activities we do, if you request. I prefer not to have more than one dog at a time so I can dedicate all my attention to the one dog, since I have my own too. I understand how important it is for you to have your best friend well looked after.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 25, 2026

Paula took such care of gizmo as he’s a little anxious at first but he soon felt right at home, texts updates throughout the day and plenty of walks which was great - no complains would definitely book again for gizmo!

Our boy has just returned from 10 nights with Paula. He can be very timid and I think it took him a few days to settle, but Paula persevered with him and took very good care of him. He got lots of walks in the park and we got lots of updates and pictures/videos from Paula which was very reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Paula again.

Charlie had a great time with Paula. As he is an older dog she made sure she was aware of his particular requirements and kept me updated with how he was getting on throughout his stay. Highly recommended.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat my dogs like they are part of the family. They're fed, watered, walked and mentally stimulated as they require. I understand though that, although almost family members, they're not humans and have special requirements and I ensure those are always met.

A typical day

I live near Glasgow Green and that's where I take my dog for a walk every day. I usually to fenced areas to let him run off lead in a secure space, but I would only do this with other dogs if the owner is comfortable with that. Since I have my own dog, I have a routine of going out 3-4 times a day and at least one of those walks is longer so he's exercised enough. In the instance that I had to look after an elder dog, the walks would be adjusted to their needs. I like going hiking and exploring other parks during the weekends, this is something I enjoy doing with my dog too.

Paula can host up to 1 pet per night
I would like to know some important aspects like the following: -Are they scared of sudden movements or certain sounds? -How good is their recall? -How good are they on the lead? -Do they need to take any medicines? -How do they behave with other dogs/cats?
