Hi, I’m Paula. As an experienced dog foster parent to over 20 rescue pups (including one special foster fail I couldn't resist adopting!), I know exactly how to handle different personalities, separation anxiety, and unique routines. Your dog isn't just a guest here; they are treated like family. We live just steps away from a massive park with a huge, off-leash dog area, so when staying at my house, we will be taking several breaks there. Perfect spot for burning off energy and socializing! When taking your pups on walks, they will consist of at least 1h with plenty off leash time if able to. We will pace it perfectly to your dog's fitness level, ensuring they come home thoroughly exercised, happy, and ready for a nap. After the walk, I always wash their paws so they don’t apread mud all around and give them a thorough check for ticks. Can’t never be too careful! If your dog is a homebody, I can come to you. I offer 1-hour drop-in visits designed to give your dog the exact same love and attention they'd get at my place. Each 60-minute visit includes: • A relief break and fresh water top-off • Plenty of backyard or neighborhood playtime • An absolute minimum of 30 minutes of pure, uninterrupted couch cuddles • Medication admin if needed (I have experience with post-op care as well as regular pill administration) • A detailed update with photos so you know they are happy and relaxed When keeping them at my house, I have a fully fenced-in patio area made for playing fetch and getting some fresh air. All in all, my home is a doggy paradise. We have more than enough plush dog beds, plus open-door access to the sofas for endless cuddles and movie-night snugs. Because of my extensive fostering background, I am highly intuitive to a dog's body language and comfort levels. Whether your pup is a high-energy ball of fun who needs hours of walking, or a shy senior who just wants to curl up next to me while I work, I adapt entirely to their pace. You will receive daily photo updated, and the peace of mind that your dog is in safe hands, getting plenty of belly rubs.
