Pet care experience

Walks, cuddles, calm house.

I've been an animal lover and a pet owner for many years - started with my cat Sophie, then fourteen years with my Yorkie, "Little Squishy Guy", through all the puppy antics, vet runs, and lazy couch days...until he passed last summer. Now I dog sit for friends and neighbors: walks, treats, cuddles. Yours gets that same warm care. I can only host dogs under 40 lbs.

Coco is very comfortable with Paul! He is very friendly and has taken great care of her. I have used Paul twice and will continue to do so.

Paul was amazing! Being a first time Rover user with a very skittish dog with needs, Paul not only took amazing care and gave the best updates, but he also calmed my nerves. I may call him the dog whisperer going forward! I definitely will be rebooking Paul in the near future.

Paul is an amazing caretaker. Our dog, Albi, immediately felt at home with Paul and we received daily pictures and updates while we were away. I thought we were on vacation, but Albi probably had a better time! Paul’s home is the perfect refuge for a dog who prefers a calm environment and Albi also got long walks daily! 10/10 stars!

Paul took great care of Pasquale. Since Pasquale is a very old dog, I was looking for someone patient and trustworthy, and Paul gave me complete peace of mind. Pasquale felt comfortable and well cared for, and I felt confident leaving him in Paul’s hands. I truly appreciate his kindness and would definitely recommend him.

Paul was amazing! This was my first time leaving Freya with a non family member and me using Rover. Paul sent updates every day. As first time anxious dog parent, I can’t say enough about how calm and understanding Paul is and it shows when you pick your fur baby up. I will definitely be using him again!

Schedule

I'm retired and mostly home, so I'm flexible - your pet can get walks, feeds, or playtime whenever you need. I'm here most days, so no rushed schedules or surprises - your dog gets steady attention. Mornings are good for walks or breakfast, afternoons for play or rest, evenings for quiet time. Late drop-off? Early pickup? No problem. I'm not leaving.

Safety, trust & environment

I board pets right here at my house - daytime or overnight. It's quiet, clean, secure: we hang out on the lanai, soaking up beautiful weather, fresh grass underfoot, and the beautiful water view. No loud noises or strangers - just calm space for walks, meals, potty breaks, or chilling together. I live alone and retired, so I'm gonna be hanging out with your dog all day. Your pup gets one-on-one attention.
