As mentioned above, I'm a full-time nursing student so I pretty much just sit at my laptop and do homework/study all day. I usually have 1 or 2 days per week that I have to be in-person for labs and clinical and those days typically are about 4-5 hours per day. Otherwise, I'm here for your pet(s)!

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet owner myself, I know the importance of keeping a pet safe and loved! I would never take a pet to an unleashed/unfenced area - I would always keep them leashed or make sure it was a fully secure area that your pet already knows (your local fenced dog park for example). I recognize that some pets take a little time to warm up so I would give them the space and time to warm up, and accept me, on their terms - never forcing them to be by buddy. :)

Pet care experience

You know when they say some people are "pet whisperers?" Yeah, that's kind of me. lol I have been born and raised around animals and have had 2 dogs, 4 cats, 2 rats, 1 hamster, hermit crabs, fish, and a bearded dragon as an adult. I'm currently a full-time nursing student in an online-accelerated nursing program so I'm basically studying all day - which makes me the perfect pet/house-sitter...I'm always around! There is usually one day a week that I'm gone for 5 or 6 hours so your pets would need to be ok with being alone for a bit, but other than that, I'm around to give them all the loves and snuggles and belly rubs they desire!

Everything went really smoothly. Most importantly, Edmund was the calmest he's ever been on my return, which is a great indicator of how it went for him. :)

Paulene was the perfect person to watch Daisy! She sent pictures and videos during her stay, which I loved! Great communication!

Paulene is such an amazing animal lover and takes great care to make sure our pets are loved and cared for in the best possible way when she has watched them. We have two cats and two puppies (2 and 5 months) and she is always great about staying on top of what they need. Would definitely use her again and again to watch after our animals.

Paulene is responsible, trustworthy and a natural caregiver. She was great caring for my pet when I was on vacation. I highly recommend her for pet and house sitting.
