Paul was exceptional with our dog. She was clearly having a wonderful time all weekend long based on the photos. She came back to us happy, healthy, and ready for more. Thanks so much to Paul for taking care of our little animal.

Duffy had a great stay with Paul - Paul has a calm manner, took Duffy on lots of walks, and kept us up to date with photos. Duffy came home calm and happy. We’d definitely leave Duffy with Paul again.

Paul was great. I admit to separation anxiety with my pets. And I'm the one with the anxiety. They were doing fine, and I had fun on vacation.

Paul did an amazing job dog sitting our Bailey. He was very professional and easy to communicate with. We felt very comfortable on our vacation, knowing our boy was in good hands. We will not hesitate to use him when we travel again!

Safety, trust & environment

The backyard is a medium size, completely enclosed. No other dogs are around. Also, I have security cameras so we can monitor them in the house if we are out. Dogs are allowed to chill on the couch.

A typical day

I live at the base of Sandia Moutains, in the foothills. Our activities include: Walking twice a day for 45 min. - 1 hour in the neighborhood or hiking trail. Dog park trips - if they enjoy socializing with others. Playing with toys, tug of war, etc. Feeding, treat time. Dogs will have access to the indoors and outdoors. Your pets will be treated as my own and may join us on outings such as old town, farmers markets, small day trips and so on. If you want your dog to be cleaned upon your arrival then you can pay additional fee for cleaning in grooming.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Paul can host up to 8 pets per night
Please let me know if you have any special needs for your loved one. We are able to accommodate dogs of all ages and energy levels! If you would like for your dog(s) to have the place all to themselves, with no other pets, then the price will be increased to the holidays rate to compensate for the other bookings that I will have to reject. Please add the bathing/grooming option if the stay is longer than 10 DAYS so we keep a clean doggie in my home.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
