Dogs are my favorite people

Pet care experience

Hello pet lovers, I'm Paul! Looking after the health and well-being of your pets is my top priority. First and foremost, since Rover doesn’t make this apparent, I want to note that I have a dog of my own, he usually accompanies me with my Rover sits. He is fairly active and loves to play. I started pet sitting and dog walking for friends and co-workers because I enjoy having a furry friends in my life. This gave me the chance to expand and diversify my experience - I've cared for a paraplegic Dachshund, and taken a very energetic Rhodie on hikes. I enjoy the outdoors and love taking hikes with dogs. I'm also up for a casual city stroll if that's more your dog's style. Always willing to play, give a belly rub, and give some (owner approved) treats. I'll send you photos and updates as often as you like so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Please don't hesitate to ask me for more info.

Paul is caring, communicates well, is respectful and thorough. He gave so much extra attention to my higher needs dogs. Thank you!

Goes well out of his way to make sure your dog is taken care of. Paul managed an entire power outage situation with our dog and house while we were away and everything went smooth. He was overly willing to do what he could to help and we are truly grateful.

Paul took great car of our pup and our house. He was above and beyond the expectations and I am already booking him again. Highly recommend.

Paul did a fine job of looking after my slightly challenging dog for 5 days. Would definitely recommend.

Information Paul O. would like to know about your pet

First, I want to ensure they get along with other dogs, because I usually have mine with me as well. Second, if they have any special needs or dietary restrictions.

A typical day

This all depends on the dog, but I take my dog to the park every day and play frisbee. This is a great way to stimulate and exercise him. Happy to bring your dog along to if throwing/fetch is what they’re into. I also like to go on hikes in Forest Park.
