Information Paula G. would like to know about your pet

While I have no breed preference I would prefer smaller dogs under 40 lbs. I would like to know if your dog has any aggression issues (with other dogs especially - as I have a terrier, but when I am pet sitting she can go to my relative’s house.) I would also like to know about any dietary restrictions or feeding habits.

A typical day

I have a large, gated backyard for the dogs, and live on a quiet street for dog walks. They will get lots of attention and as much snuggles or playtime as they would like.

Pets

Full Time Animal Lover

Pet care experience

First and foremost I love animals. We all know that pets are part of the family, and I want to be the one to help you take care of your furry family while you're away. I have over 40 years of caring for multiple animals at a time. I have a very flexible schedule, and live in a well-kept home, with ample space for the pets, who will receive tons of attention. I am responsible, outgoing, friendly and, most importantly, a huge animal lover. I have not only cared for my own animals all my life, but have been responsible for numerous adoptions of cats and dogs, and also volunteer as an event organizer for The Amanda Foundation (in LA) and Tree House Cats (in Chicago.)

I was able to book with Paula almost at the last minute, and I’m so glad I did! She kept me updated with pictures of my dogs and their daily routine, and even cleaned my dog’s ears while she was recovering from an ear infection. This was my first time using this service since my adult children weren’t available, and I couldn’t be happier with the care Paula provided. I’ll definitely be recommending her and using her services again! 🐾💖

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
