Pet care experience

Love animals. Love Dogs.

Hi ! Im Paula, I have enjoyed caring for pets for over 10 years part time. I love being able to bond & connect with other pet families. I will treat them as my own. I enjoy taking them out for walks and playing with them. I also have experience caring for cats :) I have hosted cats at my home. I have 3 small mini poodle mix that are friendly with other dogs, cats and children. My dogs love having guest to play with and are great about sharing their space. They are calm and laid back. Best method to reach me is by message. I try to reply within an hour or less. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Dog Walking • Sep 26, 2026

Paula is exceptionally professional and has become one of our favorite dog walkers. Kiara adores her & enjoys walks with Paula. She is always on time and provides good update at the end of the walk.

Drop-In Visits • Sep 11, 2026

Paula was absolutely wonderful! She was so warm and thoughtful every single visit. On top of taking great care of our cat, she brought in our packages for us, which was a huge help while we were away. She handled everything our kitty needed, took time to play and keep our cat company, and sent us videos so we could see how things were going. Thanks to Paula, we had total peace of mind the whole time. Highly recommend, and we’d love to book her again!

Boarding • Nov 30, 2025

We boarded Archie with Paula during the thanksgiving break. It was one of the most stress-free experiences for us. Paula is very considerate and sends tons of photos and updates. She also helped brushing and even dressed up our dog for the holiday photos (super cute!) Our pup loves her, her family and her fur babies and had an amazing time. Would definitely rebook with Paula.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to make sure the dogs feel safe and loved so I will go based on how much the dogs warm up to me. I am all for cuddles, playing with them and making sure they have water and snacks.

Pets

A typical day

I love to walk dogs around my neighborhood, depending on the athletic ability of the dog. I also like going to parks and playing fetch. I have no problem hanging out with dogs who are more laid back and love to pet them and give belly rubs.
