I’m a local high school teacher with over 20 years of experience and an excellent reputation in the community, with references, contacts, and a social media presence. I’m available afternoons, evenings, weekends, summers, and school vacations. I keep my schedule manageable to ensure your pets receive my full attention and care. I have good communication skills. I have a fine mix of Catholic guilt and Boy Scout training to always do the right thing! I leave the campsite cleaner than I found it. I can take in mail, packages, and trash in and out. Everyone has different needs. Please reach out to me for a free meet and greet!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is always my top priority. I’m careful to ensure that dogs and cats do not slip out of the house or go off-leash. I also have a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I’m easy to work with and happy to accommodate most special requests. When needed, I can administer medications in most situations and always follow your instructions closely.

Information paul p. would like to know about your pet

I enjoy working with dogs and cats of all temperaments. While I prefer easygoing pets, I’m also experienced with puppies and dogs who need a little extra social guidance. I know how to manage a variety of behaviors and can help redirect pets away from things they dislike or fixate on, keeping them calm and comfortable.

A typical day

Whatever your dog enjoys, I can make it happen! I have experience walking dogs on the street, trails, bike paths, beaches, and at dog parks. I’ll happily throw the ball over and over, and I’m ready for long walks or adventures—no limits!

Pet care experience

Booking weekends, nights, and holidays, fall and winter. My pet care services are open to everyone, regardless of race, background, or family makeup. I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid and have many years of experience walking and pet-sitting both cats and dogs. I’m a marathon runner and avid hiker, so I love keeping active pets happy and well-exercised. I truly love animals and treat every pet I care for with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own.
