Pet care experience

Never fear! Team Edison is here!

Tomas and I have been a team since day one! Pet friends of all ages love to visit and hang out with with us. Together we run around at the dog park, set examples for others who are learning new skills, or provide comfort for those who that enjoy long naps. Unfortunately T passed away in Dec 2025. Caring for your pet friends is a way to stay connected with him. *** I'm going on vacation June 30 to July 15th. While I am happy to care for your fur babies while you're away, I need a little self care too. Feel free to reach out to schedule meet and greet for when I return.

This was our first overnight sit with Paula, and she was amazing! She didn’t hold back when it came to caring for my partially paralyzed dog and was incredibly patient with my emotional pup. She kept me updated on her time with the dogs and sent regular updates on both of them. We’re excited to have her sit for us again in August!

Paula is an AMAZING dog sitter and extremely reliable. She has already taken our dog to the emergency vet and stayed until we could be there. She has cleaned up accidents when our dogs were getting sick. She has amazing availability. Every visit she leaves a beautiful message for us, letting us know how everything went and she even takes some pictures of the happy dogs. She plays games with them and even puts on some doggy tv. An amazing dog loving, caring, reliable person. Thank you, Paula!

Paula took wonderful care of my sensitive, sweet greyhound. She spoiled her like the princess she is. And she took fantastic care of the house, plants, etc. She stayed with sweet Nyxie for two whole weeks, and everything ran smoothly the whole time, with lots of photos and reports to keep me in touch. Thanks so much!

Paula does a wonderful job with Sadie! Whether it's overnight care or a drop in, she makes sure to give Sadie one-on-one time. Her recaps are spot on with Sadie's behavior so I know that they are spending quality time and bonding. Whenever I have Paula watching Sadie, I don't have to worry because I know that she will be well taken care of!

Paula is always going above and beyond when watching Bella! She watched her after my dog had ACL surgery and I knew she not only followed her aftercare instructions meticulously, but would consistently keep me updated and go out of her way to make sure my dog was still having a great time even when she wasn’t able to go outside for very long!
