About Us

I’ve always wanted to work with pets, and now I’m living my dream job. At Big Daddy’s Doggy Daycare and Boarding, pets have a safe, loving place to stay while their pet parents are away. And at Paula’s Precious Pets Grooming, I get to make them beautiful too.

My husband is retired and loves animals just as much as I do, so your pet gets plenty of love and attention while they’re with us.

What Pet Parents Say

★ 4.7 stars from 29 Google reviews

★★★★★

“We have never left our dogs for longer than 3-4 days and we’d always left them at our house with a relative. It was very nerve racking for us to leave our dogs for 10 days with strangers, but Paula took great care of our fur babies! We got daily updates and/or pictures. We will definately be using Paula in the future if we need someone to sit our dogs.”

“Don’t trust anyone else to give my baby over to.”
