Most of the animals I care for are rescues with unique needs, so I’m experienced with medications, vet visits, and creating a calm, nurturing environment.

Information Paula S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs and/or limitations in their daily activity. I am able to administer medication and keep up with vet visits if necessary.

A typical day

Dogs need mental and physical stimulation daily. Excercise is key to a happy, and healthy life, and essential in developing a trusting relationship with your canine. We will go for walks, play fetch, and obedience training.

Kind Care for All Creatures

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and even koi fish. I specialize in earning the trust of shy and sensitive animals, including feral and rescued cats, senior pets, and anxious dogs. I’ve bottle-fed kittens, provided comfort care to elderly animals, and supported a large outdoor cat colony with love and patience. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive presence and deep understanding of animal behavior. I customize care to your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s playtime, peaceful companionship, medication support, or senior care. I’m retired from a career in IT, so I’m reliable, communicative, and available with a flexible schedule. I’ll treat your pets like family and your home with the utmost respect.

Paula was perfect for our girls! She was very attentive and we felt incredibly comfortable with how she handled each dog with expertise and care. Our dogs were happy in all their pictures she sent and she was great at communicating to let us know they were all good through the visit! We would absolutely book Paula again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
