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.

As many of you I was hesitant to leave my girl with someone you don't know but Paul and his Brother took great care of her. She seemed to have a great time with them and the other pups they were looking after. They were very easy to work with and because they had a scheduling conflict the morning of the drop off they even agreed to take her in the night before so we would make our flight on time. Don't hesitate to use him.

Paul was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he is kind, caring, and truly loves animals. He was so punctual and incredibly reliable, which made the entire experience stress-free. While we were traveling, Paul kept us updated with regular messages and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our trip without worrying. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and we highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for their pets. We will definitely be booking with him again!

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!

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.
