Highlights
Pet care experience
Always Home + BIG backyard 🏠 🐶
New to Rover, not new to animals. Lower rates limited time only. Dogs have been part of my life since I was 7 years old, when I got my first dachshund. Since then, I’ve had 3 dogs + 1 cat + 2 parrots, all of whom lived into old age and have now passed🪽 So I have lots of hands-on experience with animals at every stage of life, including seniors who need a little extra patience and TLC. 🏠 house with no stairs 🐾 no other animals at home 🍼 no babies/kids 🌳 big big backyard ✓ Puke doesn't scare me ✓ Poop doesn't gross me out ✓ Diaper change doesn't stress me out ✓ Puppies with sharp teeth + hyper energy excites me ✓ Older dogs who want more calmness, I understand ✓ Deaf dogs → I also have experience ✓ BONUS my home has 0 stairs and big green backyard While dachshunds have my heart, I’m also very comfortable with larger dogs, different breeds and energy levels. I work from home full-time, so your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, backyard playtime and cuddles throughout the day. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, basic grooming and administering medications. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like family and send you plenty of photo updates along the way! 🐶❤️ ps. if you've made it to here I'm very Type-A over-communicative so I do have a mini onboarding google form + checklist for a smooth process.

Ratings and reviews
Chunk came home one happy dog. Paula clearly treated him like one of the family. She even gave him a much needed brush that he never sits still for at home. Will book again
Daisy had a great time! She came home and slept the whole rest of the evening after running and playing all day. Paula was quick and responsive and we are very grateful for her accepting a last-minute booking!
Paula H. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Paula has watched my Siberian Husky, Maverick, and she is amazing! She truly has such a big heart for animals. I also love that she lives in a house with a big backyard, which is perfect for my slightly over-energetic husky 😂. She’s caring, reliable, and has great communication. I always know Maverick is in great hands with her. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I work from home full-time in digital marketing, so I’m home and available throughout the day! Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and I have lots of flexibility for playtime, cuddles, feeding, walks, bathroom breaks and whatever their normal routine requires. Pet interruptions during my workday are always welcome ❤️ My schedule is very flexible, including weekdays and weekends, so I can adapt to your pet’s existing routine rather than making them adapt to mine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I want your pet to feel like they’re having their own little vacation while you’re away! Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to supervise, play and make sure they’re comfortable and safe. My home has plenty of space as well as a private, fenced outdoor backyard where dogs can safely get outside, play and enjoy some fresh air. We’re also only about 7 minutes from a dog park, so if your dog enjoys socializing and you’re comfortable with it, we have that option too. I’m very clean, organized and attentive, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, sleeping and care routines as closely as possible. I also love sending frequent photo and video updates so you can actually relax knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for. 🐾❤️
A typical day
Since I work from home full-time, your pet gets to be part of my day! Expect lots of attention, backyard playtime, walks around the neighbourhood, cuddles and plenty of opportunities to get outside. I’m happy to match their energy level, whether that means lots of activity and adventures or lounging beside me while I work. 🐶❤️
