Hello, I’m Pauline

For many dogs, home is more than a place. It's where they feel safe, confident, and connected to the people they love.

My in-home dog sitting service is designed for pet families who want more than just basic care. I provide calm, attentive companionship that allows your dog to remain in the comfort of their own home and maintain the routines that help them thrive.

Every in-home stay is tailored to your dog's individual needs and personality. Whether that means long walks, play sessions, quiet companionship, enrichment activities, or simply a warm lap and a familiar routine, I meet them where they are.

As a lifelong animal lover, I take great pride in caring for each dog as if they were my own. My goal is to bridge the time apart with kindness, consistency, and genuine connection, so that both you and your dog can feel completely at ease.

Because the best place for your dog is home, even when you're away.

For Dog Families Who Want True Peace Of Mind While Traveling

I work with dog families who want more than basic pet care. They want the reassurance of knowing their dog is in the hands of a capable professional who also happens to be a genuine dog person. Someone who reads their dog well, respects their routines, understands their unique personality, and cares for their home with the same consideration they would.

My clients value three things:

  • A dog who is genuinely cared for, not simply supervised.

  • A home that is respected and thoughtfully looked after.

  • The confidence that comes from knowing everything is in the hands of someone who cares as deeply as they do.

Because in-home dog sitting isn't really the service.

The feeling that everything is taken care of is the service.

Your dog wakes up in their own bed (or next to me if allowed), follows familiar routines, and enjoys the comfort of home. Your house remains just as you left it. And you travel knowing that the details have been thoughtfully handled by someone you trust.

I believe exceptional pet care combines affection with professionalism, reliability with intuition, and genuine connection with careful attention to detail.

To provide this level of personalized care, I work with only a small number of families each year. If you're looking for a trusted partner who will care for your dog and home as if they were their own, I'd love to explore whether we're the right fit for one another.

Because the best travels begin with complete peace of mind at home.

Kind words from my clients

  • “Pauline is fabulous! She takes such great care of our dog Porter. We feel safe and comfortable knowing that Porter is in good hands on walks and park outings. Pauline is also very aware of the uniqueness of each pet. She made sure to understand Porter’s routine, moods, and quirks before watching him. We also appreciate Pauline’s daily updates and beautiful photos.”

    Jesse and Erin - Porter (Lab/Shepherd mix)

  • “Hiring Pauline is worth every penny. Our dog Shadow is older, irritable and needs extra care. We leave on vacation with the peace of mind our senior Schnauzer is in her own environment and in good hands. When we return, Shadow is happy and relaxed. We think this is due to the amazing patience with which Pauline handles every situation and the love she gives.”

    Dave and Sherry - Shadow (Schnauzer)

  • “We feel so fortunate when Pauline is able to care for our pup. When she’s here, we have no worries. We know Paisley, with all of her puppy energy and antics, is in skilled and loving hands. Pauline is also respectful of our home and leaves it just as she found it. You can’t do better than Pauline. We highly recommend her.”

    Donna and Dennis - Paisley (Doodle)

  • “Pauline has been an amazing resource in helping us care for our golden retriever Theo. She looks after Theo so well and is always responsive and flexible around our needs. She gives us the flexibility of living a hectic life while making sure that Theo receives plenty of quality time. We also love the daily photo updates.”

    Chris and Susanne - Theo (Golden Retriever)

  • Corgi

    "Pauline is the absolute best when it comes to taking care of one of our most valuable assets in life - our dog Ollie! She's highly professional, qualified, attentive, trusting, courteous and so kind. We are 100% confident and relaxed whenever we hire Pauline."

    Mary and Roland - Ollie (Corgie)

Dog Portrait Photographer

My appreciation for dogs goes far beyond pet care. As a dog portrait photographer and creator of The Good Old Dog Project, I've spent years documenting the profound connection between dogs and the people who love them.

The project was featured in O, The Oprah Magazine, highlighting my work celebrating senior dogs and the special place they hold in our lives.

Photography has given me the privilege of seeing dogs as their families see them, as beloved companions, trusted friends, and cherished members of the family. That perspective shapes every aspect of the care I provide and reflects the deep respect I have for the human-animal bond.
