Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard with lots of shade so we can spend some time outside. I try and walk around the neighborhood 3-4 times a day. My home has air conditioning if it gets too hot and heat if it gets too cold. I have baby gates and a large crate if needed. Chew toys, water bowls, dog beds and just about anything else a dog could need is here. Our friends refer to the house as Camp Schneider-Martsolf when dropping off their pets!

Information Paul M. would like to know about your pet

My time in the Marine Corps taught me a lot about attention to details. I take notes on any specific needs your pet will need while you are away.

A typical day

In warmer weather I love to start my day with a walk in the gardens in my backyard. With a dog, a quick walk around the neighborhood gets the blood flowing. For higher energy dogs a hike up Green Mountain is a good option.

Living my best dog life!

Pet care experience

I have had a dog in my life since I was 10! From Gizmo, a small poodle mix, to Chubs, a large black lab, and two boxers, Sugar and Pinky, I have had a four legged friend most of my adult life! Both of my boxers lived to be 13 years old. An amazing feat by most accounts! Walking, playing, exploring new places and a good diet all contributed to my dogs living a long healthy life. I would like to help you do the same for your dogs!

Paul was awesome with our dog Bruce! We left him for 6 nights and he had a great time. Paul was very communicative and sent lots of updates which we always appreciate! Bruce had so much fun with all the other pups! Would 100% leave our dog with him anytime!
