Loving and Certified Trainer

Pet care experience

I am a certified trainer with 18 plus years of experience and a longtime love of animals, especially dogs. I provide home services, dog walking/exercise plans at my clients home, overnight stays, training plans. I believe in a catered plan for each animal in my care as I don't believe in a one size fits all mentality. I have experience handling anxious dogs as well as dogs with aggression issues(these dogs can only be handled individually and cannot participate in daycare due to safety issues with other animals in my care). I do not discriminate against any breeds, I love all dogs and all breeds equally however I do have a lot of experience with working dogs and bully breeds specifically. We also have/offer nature walks in the forrest preserve located directly behind our house. We have experience with special needs and medical needs dogs.

**HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** Paula (and her family) are amazing! I was so worried about leaving my 2 dogs for the first time, but, couldn’t have asked for a more positive experience. Paula took the time to get to know my dogs and their needs and kept in contact throughout our 2 nights away. She is very patient and knowledgeable. She even gave us tips on how to help the dogs be better behaved at home. Not to mention, the dogs had a blast! I will most definitely be contacting Paula again the next time we go away.

Paula and her family were so wonderful. She took such great care of our two dogs over the weekend and was so kids to share so many updates (with pictures!). I always worry a little bit about our boys when we leave them because they can sometimes get a bit anxious in new and unfamiliar environments, but I could tell they were so content and doing great without me in Paula’s care. We’re so grateful for her help. Five stars!

Paula and her family are absolutely lovely! She is extremely knowledgeable on raising and training dogs and it is easy to see the passion she has for caring and working with dogs of all breeds. She cared for my Shih Tzu puppy, Jack, as if he was her own. She made sure to send me great updates and pictures throughout the day. I will most definitely bring Jack back to Paula and her family’s home for doggy day care. Thanks again Paula!

We DO have a way to separate in case dogs do not get along in a group setting. Please only inquire if you are serious about using my services. I like many sitters have a busy schedule.
