Showdog-level training included
Pet care experience
I competitively show dogs, and have a Master's degree in biology. Because of this, I am renowned for having well trained dogs that love their jobs and lives. I am excited to work with you and your beloved pet to create the lifestyle you deserve by incorporating effective, positive training into walks, drop ins, and home sitting. I can teach your dog basic manners, perform behavior modification to address reactivity, or care for your exotic pets (I have owned reptiles and hermit crabs for years). I keep my rover calendar more limited, but if your request falls outside of it contact me and I will be happy to try to work with you.
Reviews
Paula has been working with Cliff for about a month and seeing some great progress. She’s on time, helpful and answers all of our million questions. We trust her with our beloved Cliff and he loves her. 10/10 recommend for training or any other pet needs.
Very good with my dog
Paula was great with my cat, Tóké! He absolutely loved spending time with her. She also helped me learn a bit more about what he likes/doesn't like during my time away. Very knowledgeable, helpful, and responsible. I strongly recommend hiring her if you need pet care!
Paula has looked after my two cats multiple times over the past several years and always does an amazing job! One of my cats has special dietary needs, and Paula has handled it very well. I always feel comforted when Paula is watching them, because I know they will be well looked after.

I am not afraid to tackle your pets' unique needs! Flight risk? No problem, I can bring a backup leash. Reactive? Whether it's fear or excitement, I understand that your pet still needs to be exercised, and am experienced

Information Paula G. would like to know about your pet
My personal dogs have been sighthounds and retrievers, but I have experience with the quirks specific to how different dogs' backgrounds influence their behavior. Let me know what your goals are for my visit- would you like me to work on changing your dogs' emotional state around something? Do they need to stretch their legs after a long morning in? Or are you interested in finally getting your dog to understand clicker training? Let's talk about it.
A typical day
I specialize in actually figuring out what makes your pet tick- not food-motivated? We can try out some toys! A total ball maniac? Let's use it to our advantage! I will do whatever will make your dog satisfied, whether that's putting in distance, or having an engaging training session in their favorite park.
