Your Pup’s New Favorite Uncle

Dogs have always been part of my life, I grew up with them and have been the go-to dog sitter for friends and neighbors for years. Whether it’s playful puppies or mellow senior dogs, I bring a calm, loving presence and treat every pup like they’re family (yes, especially the spoiled ones 🐶). I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can run, sniff, and sunbathe, and since I’m currently training for a marathon, your dog will get plenty of walks, jogs, and fresh air! I’ve also cared for dogs who need special attention like medication or gentle senior care, and I’m happy to accommodate whatever your pup needs to feel safe and at home. Also, hablo español , so I’m happy to communicate and welcome Spanish-speaking families too! For me, this isn’t just a side gig, I genuinely miss having dogs around and love the energy they bring. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and joy are my top priority.

Paul is the absolute best!! He took amazing care of my dog Taffy during my first longer trip away from her. He sent plenty of photos and was very responsive. He handled her injections easily and I was never worried about her health. When it came to light that I had made a mistake in my booking, he worked with me to resolve the situation with patience and grace. His home and yard are lovely and pup friendly. Taffy will be back soon!!!

Another great stay— I always know Mack is in excellent hands, and Paul kindly put up with a crazy travel day so I could pick Mack up on Sunday. Mack always loves staying here!

I had a great experience with Paul this weekend! He took wonderful care of our dog Leo and kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was easy, and he was always very quick to respond. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him!

Schedule

As an entrepreneur, I create my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide great care. My busiest days are usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but even on those days, I’m still nearby and able to check in regularly. The rest of the week, I’m often home or working from my office, which is just minutes away. As long as I know in advance how long your pup will be staying with me, I can adjust my schedule to support their needs, whether that means extra walks, playtime, or simply being around for comfort and companionship. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family, and I’ll make sure their stay feels like a second home.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. At my place, I provide a calm and cozy environment with a fenced-in backyard for play and potty breaks. I keep their routine as close to home as possible from feeding times, walks, and bedtime habits. I always ask for details about your dog’s preferences, quirks, and needs so I can make their stay feel familiar and stress free. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat the space with deep respect, just like I would want someone to treat mine. I’ll follow your instructions to a T and keep you updated so you feel at ease while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I show up with love, patience, and a little extra playtime. Every dog has their own rhythm, and I’m here to honor that.
