I'm simply a dog lover! :)
Pet care experience
I'm a dog lover who has been living in the DC area since 2015. I'm currently a little too busy to actually adopt my own pet yet, so I like to satisfy my joy of pups with this venture. I viewed the opportunity as something super fun to try, and now I've been dog sitting for 6 yrs. I absolutely LOVE it. I enjoy building relationships with the owners and dogs that I care for. I believe the most enjoyable quality about my dog sitting style is that I ensure the owner is comfortable and that their dog feels safe. Im currently an elementary teacher and mom of a young child, so I have the energy and compassion to care for pets as my own. I also have the patience needed to care for them. I look forward to loving on your pup in my warm and welcoming home.
Reviews
Paula was a great sitter. I would recommend anyone to obtain her services.
Paula did a great job with my Louie. Especially since he tends to get home sick. I really appreciate her and her family for welcoming him into their home! Thank you Paula!
Paula kept us updated with anecdotes and images to show our dogs were having a good time. We recommend her without hesitation.
Paula has been very attentive, responsive and thorough in caring for Kobe. She sent regular updates that included pictures. Paula is definitley a wise choice when looking for dog care!

Safety, trust & environment
My yard is not fenced in, but we do have a private space to walk pups when needed, as well as access to familiar dog parks. Inside our home dogs are allowed on shared furniture to snuggle up and help them feel comfortable. We do not allow dogs in our beds, but for pups with separation anxiety we will place them near our bed or in our room for comfort.
