About Paula H.

Dog skills

10 years of experience
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

My mornings start early so I make sure fur baby is taking out for a walk, bathroom break has meal/water. Afternoon play with them etc. Will take videos/pics and send to client. I do train later in evening. Once home and it's cooler out I normally will take them for a longer walk. This is all dependent on what the owner wants and age/mobility of the animal. Cats make sure are fed, water, clean cat box and played with. Walks are on leash. I will stop or cross to other side if other dogs coming so no potential incidents.

Paula is an exceptional dog sitter, and I highly recommend her. She consistently sends daily updates, photos, and videos, which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away. She always makes sure my dog gets plenty of exercise and follows all of my instructions and routines exactly as requested. Paula has cared for my dog multiple times while I was out of the country, and I have never had a single issue. She is dependable, attentive, and truly treats him as if he were her own. One of the things that gives me additional confidence is her background as a firefighter and paramedic. On one occasion, my dog experienced a seizure while in her care, and she remained calm, administered his medication properly, and handled the situation exactly as needed. She also has experience as a dog owner herself, which shows in the level of care and understanding she provides. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring, I would not hesitate to recommend Paula.

Great experience! Communication was excellent, I received regular updates and photos, and my pet was happy and well cared for the entire time. Reliable, professional, and I would absolutely book again. - Chris D.
