About us
The Founder
My name is Paula Soares and I am the founder of LuxxdonPets Pet Services. I am a professional, experienced dog walker, behaviourist and pet-carer in Brighton, Hove and Sussex.
Tired of the commuter-routine as a computer engineer and having volunteered in dog shelters for over twenty years, I am adept in socialisation, obedience and agility techniques. I am an established canine behaviourist with many years of experience across all breeds, presenting all forms of behavioural problems. I felt it was time to close doors on computing and embrace the passion of my life: Dogs. So... LuxxdonPets was born.
Having Newfoundlands of my own, I am passionate about pets and their well-being, I endeavour to make every walk, visit or training session as fun, enriching and personal as possible.
LuxxdonPets provide numerous services such as dog-walking and boarding, as well as cat and small animals care.
Have peace-of-mind knowing that your dog is in good hands, getting a rich, stimulating walk with engaging games that will exercise both body and mind.
We walk dogs in many areas of outstanding natural beauty around Brighton and Hove, as well as many local parks and recreational areas, depending on your dog's requirements. You will receive regular updates and photographs of their activities thoughout the day to enjoy at your leisure.
I always make a point of arranging a meet-and-greet before taking on new clients, not only to meet you, but most importantly to know the dog and any specific needs they have, at no charge.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
I hope to hear from you soon.
“Paula is really knowledgeable and clearly adores the dogs she cares for. I would happily recommend her service and will use her again for boarding. She met additionally for no cost just to walk with the pups to get a good sense of them and was totally reliable. My girls loved it!”​

"Paula is a treasure - our puppy, Lily, loves her and waits for her visits every day. We love her, too. She's dependable, reliable and truly loves her "clients". Lily's got the very best of care with Paula!
Paula is extremely knowledgeable and is our go to person if we have any questions or need an opinion about raising our pup. She provides such a wonderful, caring service...you can't get that just anywhere!"

Sarah Medcalf, Lily's owner
"Paula is amazing. Not only did she provide care to my dogs and cat while I was away, she also cared for my chickens! Because this was my first time away from all the animals in over a year, Paula was able to keep in touch with me on the status of everyone and send a daily picture of the dogs. Paula is trustworthy and I was very comfortable having her in my home. Paula is meticulous, detailed, honest, and offers affordable pet services. I cant wait to utilize the services of LuxxdonPets again! Paula and her pet business are a wonderful asset to the Brighton and Hove community. Definitely a five-star service!"
