Your pup's personal assistant

Pet care experience

As a pet owner myself, I know an owner's heart. I will have a paw-some photo album dedicated to capturing your pet's adventures and can provide detailed daily doo-ty reports - just let me know if you want those poop pictures! With over 10+ years caring for all types of dogs and cats, including senior pups needing extra care and young puppies requiring patient training, I pride myself on understanding each pet’s unique needs. I stand out by recognizing every pet’s quirks and giving them the royal treatment with lots of patience, affection and respect. My open communication and consistency help reinforce good behaviors for happy, healthy pets and concerned owners!

Safety, trust & environment

When pets stay at my home, I ensure their comfort by providing designated safe spaces for them to settle into. I have separate rooms where dogs and cats can relax indoors in a quiet, cozy area with beds, toys, and water within easy access. During the day, they also enjoy exploring my fully-fenced backyard to run around or sun bathe. For more active pets, we play popular games like tug-of-war and fetch in my spacious house and yard. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I am extremely respectful and conscientious. I only touch or use items I have clear permission for, and confirm with owners if any pet care activities require me entering spaces outside designated areas. Following detailed instructions, I administer medications, feedings, and other duties to give owners reassurance. My priority is ensuring pets are relaxed and comfortable in their own home environment.

Information Pauline R. would like to know about your pet

Aside from medical needs or special requests, let me know if they are food motivated for play motivated. This will be helpful during my visit.

A typical day

I believe in mental and physical stimulation for pets. Outdoor walks and hikes are fun for both me and the pups. Depending on the pet, hide and seek, search and find games are exciting. If requested, basic training and trick training could happen. Finally, will end the day with a mini photoshoot!

Availability

I currently have a flexible schedule that enables me to provide pets attentive, reliable care. I structure each day to ensure any pets I look after get outdoor time, exercise, wholesome meals, and lots of affection. For instance, a typical pet sitting day may involve a brisk morning walk, followed by one-on-one play and training time, then snuggles and pets. I'm also available for last minute dog walking or pet drop in visit as needed.
