Hi I'm Rebecca Ann Paulsel,

Founder & owner of The Golden Leash Dog Walking and Pet Sitting.

I'm so happy you're here!

My passion for animals started like most, when I was young and has only grown over the years. I have always had a deep and immense love for all creatures both big and small. Growing up I was always surrounded by pets of my own, from dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs, small pocket pets, fish and even turtles.

When I was 17 years old, a dear family friend had a Golden Retriever that was expecting a litter of ten puppies. They kindly asked me if I would help welp the litter, to which I happily said yes! I wasn't supposed to bring a puppy home but after falling in love with one of them, I brought my sweet Dakota home. Dakota is named after my childhood home state of, South Dakota. She is such a sweetheart, the biggest goofball, extremely loyal and the most loving companion I could ask for. Dakota is the inspiration for The Golden Leash Dog Walking and Pet Sitting.

Currently my little fur family includes Dakota (my Golden Retriever), Lola my sweet but sassy Miniature Schnauzer, and Mango a vibrant Pineapple Green Cheek Conure.

I have been working in the pet care industry for over a decade. In high school I started by volunteering with retired racing Greyhounds at Greyhound Pets of America - Houston. I worked in several doggie daycares and boarding facilities, before working for a dog walking and pet sitting company for several years. My next goal was to learn more about the health and wellness of animals so I spent a few years working in the veterinary industry focusing on dogs, cats and exotics, as a Certified Veterinary Assistant Level 1

and a Veterinary Technician.

I enjoy continuing education and learning new things related to animals, pets and business. I am very passionate about raising awareness for domestic abuse, suicide prevention, and autism awareness.

I am certified in pet first aid and CPR. I am also a Certified Veterinary Assistant Level 1 (CVA1), along with holding a certificate as a human phlebotomist.

People who care about animals tend to care about people. They don’t care about animals to the exclusion of people. Caring is not a finite resource and, even more than that, it’s like a muscle: the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.”
