Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Sitting/Walking Services
I take the time to get to know & understand each dog’s unique personality, needs, & routines. As someone with a bleeding heart for animals, my passion for dogs in particular has granted me the patience to handle those with behavior issues up to & including aggression. I am comfortable working with & loving on your tiniest teacups to your grizzly-size Mastiff. My most recent & current experience is caring for an 80lb lab mix who is senior (but always a puppy to me), keeping him on schedule with his medications, exercise, feeding, & stimulation. Your dog’s safety is of my utmost concern & I believe in situations of uncertainty we should always err on the side of caution. Along with that, I am more than happy to be in contact however you’d prefer with updates and/or pictures, videos, & details. I understand how important our furry family members are & how frustrating it can be when there are unexpected occurrences. I offer flexible hours, day or night, last minute bookings, extended stays, & catering first to my clients’ needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I will familiarize myself with your dog’s routine & things that bring them peace & comfort, including feeding, exercising, playtime, & walking schedules. I want to gain your dog’s trust & I do this in part by using positive reinforcement & gentle training methods to reward good behavior & build a calm & trusting relationship. I will learn any and all phone numbers & routes to their veterinarians & the nearest emergency veterinary clinics. I have two large-sized crates I can bring with me to any home by request. One is a plastic travel kennel & the other is a wire kennel with crate pad & an attachable water bowl. I am able to spend large blocks of time with your pet if that is what best suits their needs!
Ratings and reviews
Paula was wonderful, great communication and pictures, very patient with slow responses while at work, and very neat and organized with putting away their leashes.
We're repeat clients with Paula and if it's up to me, we'll never use anyone else ever again. She is attentive, kind and LOVES our crazy animals. We watched them cry for her on the ring doorbell when she leaves like she's just been part of the family forever! Her visit notes/updates are a riot to read and make us feel completely comfortable that our mutts are getting so much more than just let out. Highly highly recommend (unless it's on our dates.. then she's all ours lol!) I just can't say enough about how wonderful she is! Thank you, Ms. Paula! You are SO appreciated!
Paula was absolutely amazing! Great communication, the cutest notes about every visit and so many pictures! Our family looked forward to each story she left! It was a last minute booking and she made it seem like this was planned for months with how perfect it went! We have a couple of crazy mutts and she was not phased in the least! (Husky and a Bassett) When we came home from our trip, you could tell they were looking for her to play like she was part of the family! Lol Absolutely WILL be booking again with Paula! Thrilled to say the least!
It was such a wonderful feeling my family and I had, being able to leave on vacation knowing that our Queenie will be well took care of and loved on while we were gone. Paula arranged a Meet and Greet before we left. Queenie had a new friend from that moment on. The pictures and time Paula took with her was just so refreshing. We would love to continue to use her for Queenie in the future. I have told Ms Paula thank you over and over, but can't say it enough for being awesome.
She is attentive and loving, treats my dogs as if they are her own. Went the extra mile with mine, one of them has to be given medicine and special diet food, Paula has ensured everything went smoothly while she watched my three dogs.

Schedule
As of now I am unemployed & searching for part time occupation. Which means I have quite a bit of time to get to know, spend time with, & love on your pet(s)! Because of my flexible schedule, I am willing to cater to bookings any time of day or night!
