House Sitting • Jan 13, 2026

Paul watched our two new rescue German Shepherds for an overnight when we went out of town after only having the dogs for 2 weeks. It was such a relief to find someone close by who is a GSD lover. Both dogs took to Paul & his wife immediately. We loved getting photo and video updates while we were away from our new fur babies!

Boarding • Aug 27, 2025

I left my dog with Paul for four nights and he was fantastic! He lives in a quiet neighborhood, very peaceful with a great yard. I got plenty of updates and photos of my girl while I was away. She was clearly comfortable and at ease at his house, her tail was wagging from the moment I dropped her off until I picked her back up! He and his wife are very capable, clearly love animals, and take whatever precautions necessary to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Next time I go away I will be calling Paul back up for her to stay again! Absolutely recommend, your pet will be in great hands.

We had Paul back to care for our fur babies, and once again it was a great experience. He is responsible and caring and even lets Teddy jump on his shoulders for headbutts! We highly recommend!

Paul was great! He made himself available for a pre-visit meet and greet and was warm and professional. His communication was responsive and he provided great updates. It was a pleasure to work with a mature and reliable sitter. We will not hesitate to ask him back for our next sit!

Paul is trustworthy and so amazing with animals. He has helped take care of my pets during times when I have been away and will continue to in the future. He will surely make your best friend feel safe and loved :)
