Information Paula W. would like to know about your pet

I’m up for hearing whatever you want to tell me. Just like in my role as a life coach, it’s important to get to know as much as possible in order to be most helpful. What are your pets idiosyncrasies? Do they have special needs or cares? As a type one diabetic I am very comfortable giving animals shots. I have also changed wound dressings on animals as needed.

A typical day

I love to go on walks with dogs, throw the ball for them, engage them with toys, and talk to them on a regular basis. Once I get to know what your pets love, I will happily accommodate.

Never met a dog I haven’t loved!

Pet care experience

As an avid walker in ALL types of weather, there’s nothing better than bringing a dog (or two) along! ! Also, as the owner of a farm for 24 years with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and tons of living plants, as well as the mother of a 16-year-old, and the owner of my own businesses, Care is one of my superpowers 😉!

Paula provided fantastic care and outdoor adventures for our trail-loving dog, as well as great pictures and feedback for us! It allowed us to completely focus on and enjoy our trip knowing that Zoey was in such good hands.

We were so happy to find Paula to take care of our two elderly dogs while we were on vacation. She took the worry out of being away from home, allowing us to enjoy stress-free time with family. We arrived home to find everything in order and the dogs well taken care of. We give Paula a five gold-star rating and hope she will be available to watch our dogs again.
