Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I have a small dog and a cat, so my day includes regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they get the love and attention they need.

Information Paula R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as possible to make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. Important things include their daily routine, feeding schedule, any allergies or medical needs, how they get along with other pets, and any fears or triggers (like loud noises or separation anxiety).

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and happy! Depending on their energy level and personality, we’ll go on walks, play with toys, have indoor games like fetch or tug-of-war, and enjoy cuddle time. I also like to keep their minds busy with gentle training, puzzle toys, or simply exploring the backyard.

Loving & Trusted Dog Sitter

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I have experience potty training my own dog, so I’m patient and consistent with routines—especially helpful for puppies! I also create a calm, cozy environment that helps pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Having both a dog and a cat at home, I’m comfortable with different pet personalities and needs.

Paula is a nice sitter. My puppy was happy and healthy at her home. She watched him during a heat wave, which can be very risky for my dog with thick black fur. She made sure to keep him hydrated and cool. I would recommend Paula for future dog sitter needs.
