Exceptional Pet Care You Can Trust!

Pet care experience

As an animal lover with a passion for the outdoors, I bring a unique combination of care, energy, and enthusiasm to pet sitting. I've spent the last two years lovingly caring for my neighbors' dogs and cats, and I'm thrilled to extend my services to your furry companions. With my miniature Italian greyhound, Blaze Blue, I learned the joys of pet ownership and the importance of personalized care. I treat every pet as my own, showering them with attention, playtime, and cuddles. Whether your pet is a rambunctious puppy, a seasoned senior, or anything in between, I'm here to provide the tailored care they deserve. I love taking pets on walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park, where they can socialize and enjoy the fresh air. I'm also experienced in training puppies and providing special care for senior pets. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and relaxed while you're away. To keep you at ease, I'll send you daily pictures and updates, keeping you informed of your pet's adventures. I'm confident that your pet will be in good hands with me. Lastly, I have a beautiful fenced in backyard.

Paula and her brother Walter took outstanding care of our large shepherd- lots of walks and attention for her and lots of photos for us.

Paula is well respected in our neighborhood as a GREAT dog walker. She is super responsible, communicates well, and can be trusted to do what she says she will do when she says she will do it. We all think the world of her!

Paula is an exceptional pet caregiver! She loves her animal fur babies for sure! She has cared for several of my dogs and is very attentive, loving and responsible. When I leave my dogs with Paula and I am miles away, I know that I can rest assured that they are being well cared for. She loves to take walks so my dogs are in heaven when she is caring for them. She is an avid cat lover and takes wonderful care of her kittys. I highly recommend Paula to care for your pets. She goes the extra mile to ensure a wonderful experience for you and your pet.

My two friendly, furry cats love to play with yours. They are gentle and playful, and they always enjoy making new friends. If necessary, I have a large crate that I can use to house your pet. However, I will only use the crate as a last resort, and I will always make sure your pet has plenty of time to spend outside of the crate.

Any food allergies, sounds that may frighten them. "What make their tails wag" Please feel free to bring their favorite toys, treats, blankets. Again, my goal is to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and relaxed while you're away.
