Paul and his wife stayed overnight at our home for two days and one night to watch our Shih Tzu Monty, and it went great. We’d never met Paul in person before booking, but he was communicative and responsive from the start, which made it easy to trust him. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. Paul sent photos of Monty on walks throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. Would definitely book again and happy to recommend him.

Paul was a good fit for Arlee and me. He fed Arlee to my specifications, and sent photos throughout Arlee’s stay. Arlee was calm and content when I picked him up. I would choose Paul again for taking such good care of my pup!

Paul is gentle and reliable. Muzo always seems just like himself when I get back. He and Paul seem to get along well. Thank you Paul.
