Safety, trust & environment

I trust and follow the care plans of the homewowners. I’m not going off script, thinking “I know more than you”, about your fur baby(s)

Information Paul F. would like to know about your pet

How you want them to engage with other animals on walks/parks/dog parks What they're allowed to eat (meals, treats) Where they're allowed to play, snuggle, sleep

A typical day

I personally like to exercise, so I’m up for brisk walks, if they need that level of intensity. I have lots of patience for smelling, marking along the way, and will likely give lots of praise for this behavior. If you're currently working on a particular behavior, I'm happy to watch how you communicate and reward your dog, and continue with the practice while you're away. I will also spend time giving your pet(s) lots of pets and snuggles, as I enjoy this as much as your pets do.

Looking for your winter dog walker?

Pet care experience

I’m not going to cancel because of the weather, because I have all the gear to stay warm and dry while they get their exercise. Are you looking for a bespoke dog walking experience tailored for your pupper(s)? I’m not “that person” with 20 dog leashes around their waste, while I’m shuffle walking and scrolling my phone. I’m focused, attentive, and their safety is my priority. Working on leash manners? Tell me your approach, and I’ll follow it! Challenges with leash reactivity? I can follow yours, or help find a mode that works for your dog(s) Struggles with confidence? Let’s find low pressure ways to build and reward confidence I'm a restaurant server, and massage therapist, but continue to walk doggos because it’s chicken soup for my soul…

My pups love Paul. He's so good with them. Ding Dong is old and stubborn, Binx Banks is younger and needy (soooo needy). Paul handles both with ease.
