Pet care experience

Animals love me too

Hi there! I’m Paula and I'm 35 years old, a lifelong dog lover who’s had dogs since I was 10 years old. Although I don’t currently have a dog (it’s just me, and I believe in the commitment it takes to have one), I really miss their companionship. That’s why I’ve been happily dog-sitting for the last three years! I live in a one-bedroom apartment with a patio in a dog-friendly building. Pets are welcome everywhere in my house yes! That also includes couch and bed :) With a park just a block away, we’ll have plenty of chances for long walks—which I love! Plus, there will be plenty of cuddles in the mix to keep your pup feeling right at home. Back in Spain, I volunteered at a dog shelter for several years, gaining experience in training, dog therapy, and caring for pups of all ages, including seniors and those needing medication. Throughout the year, I’m usually more available on weekends, but I’m flexible and will do my best to accommodate your requests. If you’re looking for a responsible, caring, and experienced dog-sitter to keep your pup happy, active, and showered with cuddles, I’d love to connect. Gracias!

Paula is so fantastic with Mia.... Mia doesn't ever want to come home after she's stayed for a few days!

Mia loves staying with Paula! She had such a great stay with her this time. Especially grateful that Paula kept me in the loop when Mia had a little tummy upset that kept her up at night.

Mia had the BEST time, and didn't want to leave! I'm always so confident that Mia is in good hands, and she always seems to be so relaxed when she's with Paula!

Paula is the best! Mia is a dog that really thrives in a calm, restful environment where she can get lots of snoozes and love. Paula always manages to make that sort of perfect place for Mia - she never wants to leave when it's time to go home!!

Paula is so patient and kind to Miss Mia. And Mia absolutely loves her stays - she doesn't seem stressed at all, and usually would prefer to stay with Paula rather than come home! Paula is a great host and very clear and easy to communicate with.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a one bedroom apartment with balcony and plenty of space and sun light. My building is pet friendly, including a roof top and so is my home. Yes, including the coach ;) The closest dog friendly park around my neighborhood is 5min walking

A typical day

As your dog sitter, I start the day with an energetic morning walk to help your pup stretch their legs and enjoy some fresh air. After our walk, I prepare their meals along with any necessary medication. Throughout the day, we enjoy playtime or some training games to keep them engaged. I always provide plenty of cuddles and attention! I usually walk dogs three times a day ensuring they have enough time to exercise, sniff around in the fresh air and socialize. I keep you updated with messages and photos throughout the day, ensuring you feel connected while your furry friend is in my care. My goal is to provide a fun, safe, and loving environment for your dog!
