We have been so impressed by Paul! He walks our Poppy 3x/ week with repeat service. He is of course wonderful with Poppy but also great communication and very punctual. I can trust he’ll follow through on a commitment and reliable.

This was my second time asking Paul to board Jadie, and my experience was as great as the first time. He shared videos and pictures throughout the day, and Jadie was always having a good time. When I picked her up she was happy and relaxed and I could tell she was well taken care of. I can’t recommend Paul enough !

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.
