Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, and I structure my day to ensure your pets receive consistent attention, care, and companionship. Since I dedicate my time to managing household tasks, I am able to be fully present with the pets I care for, giving them undivided attention throughout the day. This includes regular walks, playtime, feeding, and monitoring their well-being, as well as offering affection and companionship whenever they need it. My schedule is flexible and tailored to each pet’s needs, allowing me to adapt to their individual routines and preferences. I make sure to balance active play and mental stimulation with quiet, restful periods, creating a calm and nurturing environment. By being at home most of the day, I can respond immediately to any needs or changes in behavior, ensuring pets feel secure, happy, and loved while their owners are away. This setup allows me to provide reliable, attentive, and personalized care every day of the week.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. In my home, I create a warm and welcoming environment with cozy spots for resting, fun areas for play, and a calm space for meals. I follow each pet’s individual routine, including feeding, walks, and any special care they may need, such as medications or dietary requirements. In a client’s home, I treat their space with care and follow their routines exactly as instructed. I provide companionship, interactive play, walks, and keep a close eye on their behavior and health to ensure they are happy and stress-free. My goal is always to provide attentive, loving, and reliable care, so pets feel secure and cared for whether they are in my home or theirs, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.

Information Paula G. would like to know about your pet

It’s very important for me to know each pet’s routine, energy level, and any special needs they might have. I like to ask about their feeding schedule, walking habits, favorite activities, and if there are any restrictions such as dietary sensitivities or health conditions. I also find it helpful to know how they react around other animals or new people, and if there are any specific commands or behaviors I should reinforce. The more I know in advance, the better I can provide consistent care that makes them feel comfortable and secure.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for is structured around their needs, comfort, and happiness. I usually start the day with a gentle wake-up routine, including feeding and a bathroom break. After that, I spend time engaging them in play and exercise, whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, indoor games, or fun training exercises that keep their minds active. Throughout the day, I provide companionship, cuddles, and supervision to ensure they feel safe and loved at all times. Meals, medications, and rest periods are scheduled according to each pet’s individual routine, making sure they feel secure and well cared for. For fun activities, I love tailoring playtime to each pet’s personality. Energetic pets enjoy fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive toys that stimulate their minds, while calmer pets may enjoy gentle petting, brushing, or snuggle time. I also enjoy creating enrichment activities, like hiding treats for them to find or introducing new toys to keep them mentally engaged. Every activity is designed to keep them happy, active, and emotionally fulfilled while strengthening the bond we share.

I have over one year of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and sizes, providing attentive supervision, companionship, and consistent care.

Paula is an excellent sitter with outstanding communication skills. She's very respectful, attentive, and caring. We appreciate her composed demeanor. She is responsible, dedicated, and trustworthy. Recommended.

Paula has been a wonderful caregiver for my dog, Rocket. She started off walking him once a week so they could get to know each other and Rocket took to her positive manner right away. He is a Border Collie and needs a steady, calm, consistent person to keep him from going into herd/protect mode. After they developed a relationship, we used her as a dog/house sitter for a week when our family went out of town. She made certain that she understood all of Rocket's routines and requirements before we left and I felt totally comfortable leaving him in her hands. She sent photos to let us know that they were having fun and followed all of his routines to a tee. We returned to a happy dog and everything just as we left it (maybe better). I will definitely use her again and I highly recommend her as a dog walker and pet sitter.
