I spend extra quality time with your pets for the same fee because my fee is per visit, not per hour. I feel...

Paula did a great job caring for my new puppy. She is highly recommended! She went above and beyond my expectations.

Paula D. responds:
Thank you Michelle! I appreciate your confidence in putting your brand new puppy in my care. She is so adorable and I am sad that you are moving and I won't have a chance to play with Pippa again. Spending time with a puppy during those first two cute weeks is a tough job but someone's gotta do it! Thanks again and have a wonderful time "back home".
Deborah S. says:
For anyone interested in pet care, you cannot go wrong with Paula. I went on a trip to Europe with a lot of anxiety about leaving my 2 old, sick cats.

Thank you so much! I was just doing my job. They were in my care and I did what anyone should do. They will always be special to me and I am so glad they are doing better. Look forward to hanging out with them again!
Ellen C. says:
Paula D. is an excellent pet sitter. She was an instant hit with my cats, even the shy one. She took great care of them while I was gone. She fed, groomed, petted and played with them. I am definitely going to use her services again.

Paula D. responds:
Thanks Ellen! It's an easy job when the kitties are so sweet. I look forward to taking care of them again!
