Pet care experience

I’ll treat your pets like family❤️

I’ve cared for dogs for most of my life and have extensive hands-on experience with senior dogs and high energy dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed and care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m attentive to routines, body language, and individual needs, and I always prioritize a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for.

Doggy Day Care • May 24, 2026

Paula was phenomenal with our 4 month old puppy—she maintained her at-home schedule / routine with care and our pup was excited to see her for day 2. Paula is attentive, responsive, and cares for pups as if they are her own. Cannot recommend her enough—we hope she’s available next time we need someone to watch our floofer.

She’s incredibly kind, patient and dedicated to all pets she meets! Well organized and strong with time management- she won’t be late or make anyone wait. She loves each pet as if they were her own! Highly recommend!

Paula is an amazing girl. She is very sweet, kind, caring and loving especially towards animals. She has watched my dog multiple times and i would never want anyone else, When i come home my dog is happy smiling and enjoying her time with her. She creates a safe loving space for the animal and i wouldn’t trust anyone else. She had her own dog too so she is familiar with the routines and such. I wouldn’t want anyone else watching my pet. I highly recommend Paula.

Paula is simply amazing! She loves my dog like he is her own, and always takes very special care of him and pays attention to my directions. She can handle his high energy and sometimes anxious nature around other dogs, and ensures that he has a great walk and is comfortable! I would trust her with my dog anytime, and I’m so thankful to know her and have her as a sitter for my pup!

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and mobility needs. I keep environments calm and clean, supervise pets closely, and provide regular updates so pet parents feel at ease. I’m especially mindful of senior dogs who need extra patience, gentleness, and consistency.

A typical day

Each day is based on your dog’s personality and energy level. Activities may include walks, outdoor sniff time, gentle play, and mental enrichment. I balance activity with rest and quiet time, making sure every pet feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for.

I like to know about any medical needs, medications, mobility issues, anxieties, or routines ahead of time. Please share feeding schedules, walk preferences, and anything that helps your pet feel comfortable. I’m especially happy to accommodate senior dogs or pets who need extra patience, gentle handling, or a slower pace.
