Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to give pets my full attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles — making sure every pet gets plenty of love and activity. Because I’m home most of the time, pets are never left alone for long, and I can easily adjust my day around their needs, from medication schedules to potty breaks. Whether it’s a morning walk, mid-day snuggle, or evening play session, caring for pets naturally fits into my everyday life — it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to!

Safety, trust & environment
Pet safety is always my top priority! Since I have a dog who loves to chew on just about anything, I’ve become very mindful about keeping my home — and my clients’ homes — completely pet-safe. I make sure anything that could be harmful or tempting to chew on is put away, and that pets have a clean, comfortable, and secure space to relax and play. When I’m caring for your furbaby, I treat them exactly the way I’d want someone to care for mine — with patience, love, and attention to detail. I stick to their routines, provide plenty of playtime and cuddles, and make sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾

Information Paula J. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting, I like to know each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys, and any special needs or allergies. It’s also important to know how they react to new people, other animals, and different environments. Understanding their energy level, bathroom routine, and any behavioral quirks helps me give the best care possible. The more I know, the more comfortable and happy your pet will be while you’re away!
A typical day
A typical day with your pet will be full of care, play, and companionship! We’ll start the day with a nice walk or some outdoor playtime, followed by feeding and cuddles. Throughout the day, I’ll keep your pet active with games like fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys to keep their mind sharp and tail wagging. For calmer pets, we’ll enjoy quiet time, brushing, or gentle pets and snuggles. I also love caring for cats, small animals, and other pets—whether that means playtime with a feather toy, cleaning cages or tanks, or just offering company and gentle care. I’ll make sure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and happy until you return!

Pet care experience
I’ve had the joy of caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs — from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience supporting dogs with cancer and mobility challenges, making sure they stay comfortable, loved, and happy. I know how important it is to follow special routines, medications, and gentle handling for pets who need extra care. I’ve also trained my own dogs to use the potty outside, walk calmly on leash, and respond to basic commands — so patience and positive reinforcement are second nature to me. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles, or keeping up with a strict medication schedule, I treat every pet like family. What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I don’t just “watch” pets — I connect with them, comfort them, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pets deserve the best care — and that’s exactly what I provide. ❤️

Reviews
Paula is absolutely amazing with my two dogs, Marino and Alonzo! Both of them can be a handful, but she handled them with so much patience and care. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, and I could tell my boys were happy and comfortable with her. When I got home, they were calm, well-fed, and clearly loved. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with them — Paula truly treats pets like family!
Paula cared for my kitten Freya like she was her own. Freya can be shy with new people, but she warmed up to Paula right away! Paula was gentle, patient, and kept me updated with adorable photos and notes. I came home to a happy, playful kitten — it was clear she felt safe and loved. I’m so grateful to have found someone so kind and trustworthy!
Paula took wonderful care of my dog Oden and my bearded dragon, Bowser — and that’s not an easy duo to look after! She made sure Oden got his walks, playtime, and cuddles, while also keeping Bowser’s habitat clean and temperature perfect. It’s such a relief to have someone who’s confident with both furry and scaly pets. Paula is dependable, knowledgeable, and genuinely loves animals — highly recommend!
