Pet care experience

Sad Empty Nester

I am a retired RN, who lost my beloved Golden Doodle, Abbey. I would love to give that love to your dog. I am willing to walk and feed your fur babies. Sit with them, love them and pet and feed them. I love the outdoors and enjoy the fresh air and would like to be able to provide that for your dog, also. Our dogs are very special to us and deserve good, safe quality care. I would provide that to your dog, to the best of my ability. In the age of Covid, I commit to providing safe visits to your home and for your dog. Hopefully, we can all be with friends and family again soon. Stay safe out there! Cheers.

We call Paula’s our dogs “retreat.” He loves it there and always seems so calm when we drop him off. She cares for your pet like her own and I’m so thankful our dog can stay with her.

Paula was a pleasure to work with, she kept me abreast of Lucy‘s activities and sent me pictures. Lucy told me she had a very good time and look forward to seeing Paula again.
