About Paula
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have been caring for animals all of my life, and was a veterinary technician at a large animal hospital. I've also been a 4-H leader and mentor. I live with my best friend (Teddy, pictured). I have also had/handled horses, cattle, goats, sheep, camelids, large reptiles, parrots and small birds, and even tarantulas. Have volunteered at some wild animal sanctuaries and taken care of Charlie Cougar, too. I love/respect all critters and will enjoy yours and care for them so that you can go away with no worries. If your dog needs walking, I love to hike. If Miss Kitty is a couch potato, I have a good lap. I can assimilate to your animals' regular schedule and environment. Possibly can transport/care for your animals briefly in my own place if that is your preference. But if you are going to be away, I can water the plants, collect the newspapers, and keep your home spiffy while I care for your fur/feather friends. I live near Buffalo/Lake Mead, so can get to all areas of town, but my fee depends upon distance and your needs. Please get in touch with me and we can discuss.
