Love for your best friend 🐶🐱

🐾 cats & dogs of Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, La Jolla 👉Personal & client dog experience: separation anxiety, fear, reactivity, overstimulation, leash pulling, allergies, special diets, medication 🐾 calm, fear-free techniques, positive reinforcement & mutual understanding 🐾 I’ve learned a lot of behavioral techniques from trainers online. I plan on furthering my dog & cat behavioral & massage certifications, health education, CPR & more. 🐾 I’m very patient & I have so much fun with animals! I understand the struggle of working long hours & making sure your best friend is cared for. 🚶‍♀️My service radius is within 2 miles of Pacific Beach Drive & Mission Blvd 🚶‍♀️I will consider bookings outside my service radius for an additional cost. I will consider reducing rates if you’re super close or have a parking spot. ⚠️ Important dog walking note for multiple-dog households ⚠️ I walk these cases 1-on-1 so please schedule enough time for each dog: * aggressive dogs * fearful dogs * puppies I’ve had my sweet dog, Sandy, for 11 years now & I can’t imagine a day without her! Her pup companion, Boogie, joined us 3 years ago & life is so good! About me as a kid/teen: I grew up with 14 dogs & many other animals on my childhood property. We often pack-walked the acreage beside my home (dogs & cats together & sometimes the geese would come!). And, often, they would follow me down to the adjacent playground basketball courts & watch me shoot hoops. It was so awesome!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My home environment is a place of love, & boundaries. I provide my dogs with a set schedule & I believe in consistency. I’m happy to do the same for you. I am a communicator. I want animals & their family to be comfortable. I check paws & fur for debris & more before leaving. If there is a poop or vomit mess. I will clean it up.

I couldn’t recommend Paulette enough! She is so kind, responsive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My cats adore her and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands. Every time I come home they are happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She also sends the best photos and videos while I’m away which I always look forward to. My house is always cleaner than when I left it when I return. Paulette is truly wonderful, I am so happy I found her.

I don’t have any breed preferences. If we don’t do a meet & greet, I appreciate your very specific instructions! I’d like to know how you share your life with your dog. Does your dog have any anxiety, reactive, and/or protection habits? I welcome your instructions: sit to put on leash in a particular spot? walk left side or right side? Sweater on or off? Specific route?
