My dogs look at me like I’m bacon
Pet care experience
My wife and I have two Bernese mountain dogs (Indy, born 2016; Leia, born 2017) that will play with (and love) anyone and anything. We also have a pitbull/boxer mix named Azalea (born 2014) who is sweet and loving, but she's honestly more interested in naps than playtime these days. We go for walks around the neighborhood and enjoy car rides around town together. Our dogs are generally very active for inside dogs and play well with other animals of pretty much any size and activity level. They are good at sharing toys, and respond well to cues from other dogs. We also have a large crate or you can bring your own.
Reviews
Paul and family did great watching our dog. He sent pictures and video showing our dog playing with his family and dogs. Kept us well informed and great communication. Would def recommend and use them again.
Paul did a great job with my very energetic 8month old golden retriever! He was patient with him, walked him, and he sent me pictures and updates throughout the time I was gone. Tucker came back very tired and looked happy when I picked him up :) he got along great with his other dogs! I will definitely be using Paul again next time I have to go out of town. Thank you!!
Paul and his family were great! We felt very comfortable leaving Jack with them. Jack seemed happy and relaxed when we returned. We will definitely use Paul as our future Rover!
My puppy had a great time and came home exhausted. Paul and his family took care of him on my day of unavailability. He also helped me with pickup and drop.

Safety, trust & environment
We can easily separate dogs if needed. We have several rooms throughout the house that they can spend time in separately, and we have a large crate if you do not have your own.
Home
Information Paul B. would like to know about your pet
I can work with any well-behaved dog. A quick meet and greet with my dogs is a good way to get them comfortable with one another. We typically introduce any new dogs to our own dogs one at a time to minimize the potential for conflict, and we let them get comfortable with one another before we let them loose to play.
A typical day
We can go on regular walks, or I can give the dogs toys to play with, or they can sleep all day long if they want - whatever they need.

Availability
I work in a remote/hybrid role at Purdue so I spend a lot of time at home but do not always work from home. For house sitting requests, I’m happy to stop by 3 times a day to care for your pets, but prefer to sleep at home in my own bed for overnights. A note on pricing and availability - we get multiple requests most weeks, so I’ve had to raise my rates to be more selective since we can’t accommodate every request that comes our way. I’ve also increased my minimum lead time to 1 week. Sorry, no more last minute requests unless we’ve already watched your fur baby. We will not do overnight boarding without a meet and greet first, so the lead time helps make sure that happens with enough time for you to rebook if it’s not a good fit. If you’re a repeat client, we can negotiate rates but the rates on my profile are firm for new clients due to increased demand.
