Highlights
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.

Safety, trust & environment
We provide specialized care for each of our friends. During each visit, we offer fresh food, water and cuddles. We go on 20-30 minute walks, enjoy lots of treats and can administer medications. At your home, I will make sure your pet is comfortable, give them the company they need, and ensure they and your home are safe.
Ratings and reviews
Paula was exceptional. Her interaction with the dog was positive, productive, and healthy. Long walks were the norm, clear communication every visit, and great photos. It really did allow me to enjoy my time away, of course I still thought of my dog, but photos and the updates kept me very comfortable with the situation and it never once was I anxious or curious about what was happening. I had all the information I could want and when I got home my dog is hanging out on the couch just like when I left. I cannot give her a higher recommendation.
Paula is a great pet sitter, super professional and dependable! She is extremely easy to work with and very communicative. Paula stayed with our anxious Italian Greyhound in our downtown Austin hotel room while we attended an event. She updated us with photos of Stan (awesome photos, I might add!) and played treat hide and seek with him in the room. Could not recommend Paula more!
Paula was great with Barkley and Catalina. We needed someone to check in on them several times throughout the day and she was extremely accommodating. She made sure they were fed, had water, bathroom breaks and spoiled with pets during her visits. She took time to be with them rather than quick visits, which we really appreciated. Lots of photos and updates were sent.
Paula/ Bear is fantastic. She is reliable, responsible and our boys love her. Highly recommended.
Paula watched our two dogs in our home for 9 days, and they were so well taken care of! One dog is a sickly senior, so I worry - but the communication was excellent, with daily updates and photos. She even took our younger high-energy guy on a couple of runs. She left our home in great condition as well. I would definitely book again.
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!
