Pet care experience

Relax, your pet is in caring hands!

For much of my life I have had the pleasure of raising Labs. After an absence of dogs for a few years, I recently helped care for my daughter's Rott/Beagle, and realized I so miss having dogs around. Now that I am settled, I am looking forward to helping with the care of your dogs! Trust that I will take good care of your family pet, either in your home or my own. They can run around in my fenced yard as they like. I will play with them every day. I treat animals with care and attentiveness. When I am at work, I am close to home and can be there in a flash. I am caring, attentive and easily reachable should you want to check in. I will send pictures during your time away so you can feel assured that your pet is cared for well. Note: While I would love to spend the entire day with your pet, I do work during the week and get back home at a reasonable hour. If you have a pet that requires constant attention during the day, or needs to be relieved every couple of hours, I respectfully recommend another option.

Our boy is not comfortable around other dogs so we have always felt miserable about boarding him. Enter Paul. He welcomed Calvin into his home with open arms and was more like a foster parent than a pet sitter from the moment we introduced ourselves. Even as we were leaving I could hear him calming our boy with patience and kindness. We received daily updates and photos to let us know Calvin was doing well, and at pick up it was clear that not only was our dog calmer than he had been when coming home from a boarding facility, he was thriving! We are so grateful to Paul for looking after our boy as though Calvin were his own dog. We now know our first choice for trips away from home! Thank you, Paul!

I'm happy to contact with Paul, he accept my request to care my princess dog. from the moment we arrive he was attentive with all my dog needs and clearly interested on how to give confort and calm treatment to my princess. Paul kept me updated with messages and photos which gave me so much peace of mind. when I picked my dog up, she was happy, relaxed and clearly well cared.

Paul was amazing with our dog Bourbon! Bourbon has lots of allergies and he did amazing getting him the medication and attention he needed. Paul also has a flexible schedule and that worked great with what we needed from him. We used him two weekends in a row and Bourbon loved him and he was so exhausted when he got home. Paul will be used by us again! Highly recommend!

Paul was great with Moose and so easy to work with. He provided updates and pictures and above all was a wonderful weekend solution for our fur baby while we were away. We will definitely be using him again.

Paul is a great communicator. He reached out to us prior to our booking date to make sure he knew about the dogs routine and preferences. He sent us pictures 2x/day and was available for pick up/drop off times. Dogs were well taken care of

Schedule

I work at a nearby school and have a flexible schedule. I generally get home early so I am able to feed, exercise and relieve your pet mornings and evenings as well as weekends. If caring for pet(s) in your home, I will respect your space and your house rules.

Safety, trust & environment

If you are using my home, I have a good amount of room and a comfortable sofa, as well as a fenced yard. If using your home, I will ensure your pet follows the access and boundaries which you set for them. I have years of experience caring for dogs, enjoy playing, running and hanging out with them. I will give them the food and treats that you provide so as to keep their dietary routines on point. Your pets will be happy to see you when you return, happier still that they received excellent care!

A typical day

We will ball or Frisbee toss so he gets a good workout. Weather permitting, we will spend time outside enjoying the fresh air. If you are amenable, I will brush them and feed them only the thing(s) you prefer. If you have their favorite toys, those will always be on the agenda.

Knowing their most prominent routines will help me reduce their stress. A summary of allergies, habits, triggers, food and feeding, treats, sleep tendencies and "what I don't know I don't know" are all important and appreciated. If boarding with me, you should bring sufficient food and treats for the entire stay, as consistent nutrition will help your pet stay their healthiest. Also for boarding, I encourage you to provide their regular water and food bowls, toys and bedding so they adapt to their temporary lodging more easily. All will be ready for pickup at the end of their stay. More detail will be shared when you book.
