Long walks? Belly Rubs? You got it!

Pet care experience

I've had dogs almost all of my life. I am an active person who lives about a 5 minute walk from a public park, so your pet will have plenty of room to roam on walks. Love taking care of my Australian Shepard/Cattle Dog rescue. I've trained a total of 3 dogs in my life on the basics and some tricks, and love working with them to give them some mental stimulation through training. I also understand the importance of having an adequate amount of exercise for dogs, and provide that as well. I have experience house sitting cats as well, so i love all furry friends! I am very flexible with hours. If you have along weekend away from home, I'm your girl!

Paula took wonderful care of our pup (and house) while we were away for a few days. She sent pics and daily updates, which I really appreciated. Thanks again!

Paula was fantastic in every way. She managed very well with our senior dog and our younger dog who has anxiety issues. I felt so comfortable having her take care of our dogs that I could really relax and enjoy our trip. Her communication was great and we came back to calm and happy dogs and a very clean and tidy house. I will definitely call on her again next time we travel.

I'm so happy I found Paula! She's very knowledgeable and thoughtful with our high energy dog who has some mild anxiety and reactivity issues that need worked on still. I feel super confident leaving my dog with her and highly recommend her!

Paula is an absolute angel. She was an amazing source of knowledge and resource. She kept me up to date on all the things my little one was doing. It was a pleasure meeting and working with her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their furry baby anytime! Wish I could give more stars.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a pretty spacious condo, with a park nearby. There is plenty of space for your pet to hang out and chew on a bone watching netflix in between potty breaks!

Information Paula Q. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what kind of personality the dog has prior to sitting them. I also MUST know if they play nice with other dogs. I am the proud owner of a very sweet and friendly Australian Shepard/Cattle Dog mix so for the safety of both dogs, it is important to me that the dog I am boarding is good with other dogs. I also need to know if there are any health related problems with your dog, whether I am boarding, walking or dropping in on your dog.

A typical day

Long walks in the park. Basic training. If your dog has the permit to go into the chicago dog parks, we will be spending plenty of time there as well. Love snuggling with cats, and just generally hanging out with them!
