Pet care experience

Genuine animal lover with very flexible schedule

I ran a very successful Rover account for 2 years in the US with my wife, building up the business to to obtain many repeat clients who gave us glowing reviews. We cared for a wide range of animals of all varieties and ages with the highest levels of professionalism and care. I am now back in the UK and am looking to continue with Rover over here in a similar vein. *PLEASE SEE MY PICTURE GALLERY FOR JUST SOME OF MY MANY VERY HAPPY OWNER REVIEWS*

Safety, trust & environment

Whenever I am entrusted to enter a client's home to care for their pet, I take security very seriously whether I am given a door key or a security code, and am very vigilant to ensure their home is as exactly how it was as I found it when i finish a visit. The pet's welfare is my utmost priority and I always follow the client's care instructions to the letter.

Paul has been great with Marley, she always loves when he visits and we love the updates. She even gets excited when we say Paul's coming to see her. Thank you for taking care of our little old lady.

Dog Walking • Jun 10, 2024

Paul was fantastic with Magnus -- who can be a challenging dog. He arranged a visit before so he could meet Magnus and my dog immediately seemed comfortable with him. He walked him in the local area, handled his reactivity well, and even kept Magnus happy despite the rain. I would recommend to anyone else with a pet who has special requirements! Thank you!

Paul was very quick to reply to my request and also to any further communication from us. We were in a rush so we gave Paul some instructions which he followed brilliantly. We knew what time Paul arrived, left and received loads of photos of Daisy and Oscar which we really appreciated as anxious cat parents lol. Our cats loved Paul and we definitely recommend him and will definitely use his services again. 🙂

House Sitting • Feb 28, 2024

Paul was booked last minute as we needed to travel for a funeral. He was very accommodating, and instantly made friends we our 3 dogs. We had a meet and greet a few days prior to plan the day dog sitting. Paul was able to come early morning, walk the dogs, feed them their dinner and stayed with them for evening company until we returned home. He sent us updates with photos which eased our minds. I will be requesting Paul again when we next require a dog sitter and would highly recommend. Paul enjoyed his time with our dogs and it showed so a big thank you for taking care of our fur family.

Paul has become a dear friend to us all! We count ourselves lucky indeed to have had such a warmhearted, genuine, and compassionate person come into our lives. Paul's love for animals shines through in his affectionate and devoted care, his detailed and sweet updates. He helped us in countless ways during our family emergency, truly above and beyond; he was also incredibly accommodating of our uncertain schedule during the month and a half we were away. He kept tabs on the supplies and was very kind when we asked if he could go to the store to pick up more food, taking time out of his day to help. Paul is a natural at nurturing animals. He brought out our cats' personalities, as he was so attentive to them. He was lovely with our senior cat, spending one-on-one time with him, and was even able to patiently coax our (recent stray) youngster out of hiding to be pet and held--a victory, as Alasdair quickly becomes the Invisible Man when people come over. It wasn't long before they were both greeting him at the door as soon as he'd arrive. We came home to thriving, calm, and happy kitties. To anyone searching for a trustworthy animal carer and wonderful companion for their loved ones, we wholeheartedly recommend Paul! We all love him!!! :)

Schedule

Myself & my wife initially joined Rover in the US as a way to get us off the sofa at weekends but it grew and grew into something much bigger! It ended up being almost a full time job for me due to the sheer amount of bookings we would receive due to repeat clients, great reviews and recommendations. I had 14 drop ins and walks booked on the day after Thanksgiving alone last year!! And only slightly less on Boxing Day! Similar to my situation in the US, as I work from home I am available pretty much any day or time to care for your pets, my schedule is very flexible.

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
over 45 kg
Paul can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
If your pet is skittish or nervous and would need me to be extra quiet and careful when entering the house so as not to spook them. And also, if you have a dog that is particularly over excitable, so that i can act accordingly.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
