The Owner

Hi. I'm Pauli Arabanos. My own family includes a Terrier, a Welsh Corgi mix and an Australian Shepherd. A Burmese/Himalayan cat and her two adopted sisters keep the dogs guessing! Two English Lop rabbits entertain us with their playful antics. We spend our free time walking, playing ball and eating treats!

In fact Home Buddies was our pet sitter for 5 years while I traveled for business. After graduating in Chemistry from the University of Minnesota, corporate sales and engineering positions kept me flying - literally - for nearly 20 years. It was so nice to know that I could depend on my pet sitter when I needed to leave town. In fact, the pets were so content when I got back, they barely even noticed!

Eventually, my lifelong love of animals led me to acquire Home Buddies Pet Sitting in 1998. Now I enjoy helping clients while they relax on their dream vacation or have an uninterrupted day at work.

Home Buddies employs only the most qualified and reliable pet sitters. Experienced, courteous animal lovers who feel as I do about caring for pets. Our staff has attended pet CPR and first aid training courses for your pet's health and well-being. We also hold regular dog obedience refresher classes so that we can reinforce your pet's training.

You have our promise that we will care for your pets... as if they were our own.
