Professional and Loving Pet Care

With over 15 years of dedicated experience in pet care, I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for animals, from dogs and cats to birds and squirrels. My journey started with caring for family pets, ensuring they received not only basic needs like feeding and grooming but also emotional support, exercise, and attention to their unique personalities. This passion grew into something bigger, as I began to care for stray animals in my community, offering food, temporary shelter, and affection to those who needed it most. My experience has shaped me into a compassionate, attentive, and knowledgeable caregiver who is attuned to the subtle cues that pets give when they need comfort or attention. I pride myself on being a trustworthy and nurturing companion for every animal under my care, treating each one as if they were my own family. This combination of hands-on experience, love for animals, and dedication to their well-being truly sets me apart from others.

Our cat and dog are so happy staying with Paula! We can tell they feel so at home with her. She is really sweet and attentive to their needs and shares pics/videos of our pets with us frequently during their stay.

Still 5/5, as she has been in the past. We had our wedding weekend and needed no stress in regards to who is watching our dog, and Paula easily fit that. Sent us pictures which made the bride happy!

Paula sent multiple videos and photos of our Daisy girl each day we were gone. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for our fur baby!

Paula and her husband David took excellent care of Hammy! The photos and videos I received of him throughout the day were a wonderful surprise and made me feel at ease seeing he was happy. I could tell by his smile he was living his best life there! It was evident Paula truly cares about the pets she boards through the way she spoke of and interacted with Hammy. Paula was also graciously flexible with time; we ended up running late both dropping off and picking up Hammy. As someone who is rarely ever late to anything, I can say I appreciate her immediate response and patience. Overall great experience and will certainly book with her again!

Hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever used, five stars, ten out of ten. She kept my little baby happy and spoiled while I was gone, sent adorable photo updates every single day without me even asking, and everything felt so easy and stress-free. Seriously, if you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your cat like it’s her own, she’s the one. Book her now, you won’t regret it!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I will give your pet the undivided attention they deserve. I currently don't have any pets in my home, only other pets that I will be sitting. I love all dogs and cats no matter the temperament or behavior! All pets deserve all the love in the world :D

A typical day

When caring for someone’s pet, I start the day with a friendly greeting and a tailored morning walk or play session, ensuring they feel energized and loved. Breakfast follows, carefully prepared to match their dietary needs, and then we engage in quiet time with grooming or gentle play. Throughout the day, I keep them mentally stimulated with games or toys, while providing regular exercise breaks and cuddles for affection. In the evening, we wind down with a relaxing routine, ensuring they are comfortable, content, and ready for a restful night. My focus is on keeping the pet happy, healthy, and emotionally nurtured.
