Hi, I’m Paul!

Pet care experience

I’ve always loved dogs and knew I eventually wanted a dog of my own. Two years ago, I started fostering dogs from the local animal shelter and temporarily housed 10 dogs until their adoption. With the flexibility of work from home and the help of my roommate, Divy, we've been able to host well over a dozen rover guests and counting. I’m a firm believer that any activity is made better with a dog!

We truly appreciated Paul looking after Ettore. He was very responsive and flexible and kept us posted on Ettore during the evening!

Information Paul D. would like to know about your pet

Our apartment is on the third floor so dog boarding guests must be in sufficient shape for a couple stair traversals every day. Any additional details you can provide about your dog’s temperament is appreciated. I especially appreciate any details you can provide about your dog's behavior when left alone in the apartment or when meeting strangers.

A typical day

I love to hang out with your dog. I will try to match your dogs desired energy level. We offer a calm home environment, will head to the park down the block to release some energy, and can offer longer jogs for high-energy pets.
