Chomp & Nibble

I hired Paula to walk my 2 dogs and have had nothing but trouble…
The first time she came, she complained she had difficulty getting my 2 dogs out of the garage to walk them. They were excited and she was unable to control the younger dog. By her request, I spent $ 120 on a new gate to attach the existing gate, so my 1 year old lab would be completely contained when she opened the garage. The next scheduled visit, she cancelled because she forgot her kids were getting out of school early. The third week, she cancelled because my dog had kennel cough, and she didn’t want to catch it… When she did finally return to walk the dogs, she called me at work to let me know she had trouble closing the garage because she moved something in front of the sensor. She asked that I clean my garage, because it was not «clean or sanitary» for the dogs. Then without warning, she texted me that she would not work with me any more, because she didn’t like that I seemed «perturbed» when she called me at work.
I don’t know if she is just not good with handling larger dogs. I suggested she try having some treats on hand, as my 2 dogs both respond with food. But, she seemed offended.
If you have large (45 – 60 pound) dogs, I suggest you find someone else to walk your dog.

Paula is simply the best. When I initially spoke with her, I asked the rest of my apartment complex if they would like to meet her and possibly use her services, as well. I’m happy to say that ALL the residents with pets in my complex, use Paula as a caregiver to their pet, from wellness visits to daily walks! I am happy, my dog is happy, and the others I have spoken to, love her as well! 5 stars!

Our dog loves spending the day with Paula and she takes amazing care of him. He’s always excited to go and I know he’s in good hands when she’s with him.
Paula is flexible with pick-​up and drop-​off times which makes it reassuring to know if our plans get adjusted slightly.

I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Paula! My dog absolutely adores her and her family. Paula is thoughtful and sweet and great with communicating about how my dog is doing (she’ll send photos and texts). I really appreciate how quickly she understood my dog’s personality and needs.
She also makes a great dog food topper that helps my picky pooch gobble up her dry kibble!

Chomp & Nibble is my new go-​to dog watching service!
Paula has taken care of Jake, my border collie, several times. We have done overnights and a few long weekends, and next month she will watch Jake for two weeks while I am out of the country.
Paula did an amazing job watching Jake, taking him into her home and treated him like her own. She always kept me posted about when she picked Jake up, and what they were up to while I was gone (with pictures!), and Jake always came back healthy and happy. It is great to have someone dependable to watch Jake when I am gone. I never have to worry about him when he is with Paula. I know he will get treated like a king!
