Guinea Pig Mom, Pitbull lover
Pet care experience
I’m a dog lover with an especially soft spot for rescue dogs and pitties. I have worked as an animal care specialist at Austin Humane Society where I cared for, cleaned, and trained cats and dogs. I have experience in positive behavior training - using a clicker. I have fostered cats and dogs and have worked with dogs that display dog reactivity, barrier or leash aggression, food guarding, and more. I grew up with horses, cows, chickens, goats, you name it. I’m very comfortable around animals big and small. My work schedule is very flexible and my husband works from home so your pet will never be alone. I also have two middle aged guinea pigs named Bubbie and Scaachi.
Reviews
Paulina did a great job looking after our dogs while we were gone. We will definitely use her again!
Easy to work with and took great care of my dog!
Paulina was great to use a sitter! I could tell the way my dog left her place that he was well taken care of and happy. She was communicative and understood some of the ways we have to manage my dog's separation anxiety when doing the drop-off. He settled in nicely there and that is very telling about the environment. I would highly recommend her to anyone on Rover :)
Paulina was a life saver and took my pup out on a walk last minute. I was stuck in a dentist appointment, and she was able to take out my pup. She communicates well and sent me pictures.

Safety, trust & environment
Pets are allowed to roam free in our apartment and are welcome on our bed and couch. If you bring their toys I’m happy to play fetch/tug with them. They’ll get plenty of pets and snuggles from my husband and me. Please let me know if your pet is a flight risk. My apartment is on a relatively busy street and with anxious/escape prone animals I will take additional precautions such as leaving their leash on indoors to ensure their safety.
Information Paulina F. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds - generally I prefer dogs under 100 lbs as I am pretty small but a well behaved big dog is great. I like to know if dogs show any reactivity to other dogs, cats, squirrels, humans, etc. I'd like to know how they like to be greeted if they are particular and how they are on leash (knowing what kind of collar/harness can be helpful too).
A typical day
I love to go on long walks and we have plenty of tree lined streets in our neighborhood so your pup will stay cool! We always keep extra treats on hand for well behaved visitors.
Services
Paulina can watch in your home
Availability
I work part time (14 hrs/wk) so I have a lot of free time for animal care. If your pet is dropped off for daycare they will never be left alone as my husband works from home and will watch them whenever I am out of the house.
