Home Away From Home

My first priority is your pet's comfort and safety and my second is to make you a repeat customer. I offer attachment-based pet care and prioritize their quality of life. Dogs and cats are adults of another species, and we form a unique attachment bond with them. In a secure attachment relationship, the care provider is a secure base for exploration, a haven from danger, and there’s proximity seeking (they like to be together). I have been around animals all my life, including many farm animals! I have raised and cared for big dogs for 30 years.

Colin had a great time! It was so nice to get pictures and videos throughout the day, especially since it was my first time leaving him somewhere and his first time spending time with an adult dog. Paul was great with my puppy from the very beginning and I would definitely book with him again.

We’re so thankful to have found Paul! Percy is so fickle and nervous we never know if he will enjoy himself or just sit nervously but he had a great time. We could tell by the photos Paul sent that he was completely relaxed and enjoying himself. We were so excited that he actually relaxed and sunbathed! Paul is great with him and we are so elated to have someone to watch our special boy when we’re gone for longer lengths of time. We highly recommend Paul for your pup-sitting needs!

Paul's 40 plus acres is just the ticket for my high prey drives, high energy 100 lb Dobies! My dogs need room to run and explore and lie under a tree. Paul is awesome along with Dayday his Bernese. Thanks again Paul, they are extra tired today!

Schedule

I am working from home and adore the company of dogs. I offer in-home daycare and boarding services as an alternative to crowded indoor pet care centers. I can accommodate up to three dogs from one owner. Additionally, I live on 40 acres and enjoy miles-long daily hikes where your pet can enjoy plenty of fun, frolic, and explorations. I prefer to have them outside for fresh air and exercise and to tire them out.

Safety, trust & environment

I dedicate ample time, attention, and affection to dogs under my care. I have an enclosed yard and an area with cold tile for the hot days. Your pet's safety is paramount to me, and I am committed to delivering five-star care to your beloved companion throughout their stay. Let us be your pup's home away from home.

Pets

A typical day

I spend hours outdoors with the dogs in my care. As they are able we often hike a few miles around the farm. Downtime is also a critical point of a dog's routine and I try to balance physical activity and naps.

Let me know of any special needs or behavioral challenges I should be aware of. I am interested in your pup's routine and also if they have a strong predator drive and how is their recall.
