Pet care experience

Long walks are no problem!

I had two dogs growing up so I have been around them my whole life. I currently have a golden retriever that lives with me as well. I have dog-sat a basset hound since he was a puppy as well as a miniature dachshund and helped train them. I have a lot of patience so puppies are no issue! I also love getting my steps in so long walks are okay with me! I am okay with going to your residence or bringing your dog to mine as long as they are friendly! (There are good trails to walk where I live and I have a private dog park as well)

We just used Paul for the first time while we were in Europe for 10 days, and he was great! Our two dogs and our cat really liked him, and we came home to happy animals and a clean house. We really appreciate his help and are happy to have a house and pet sitter we can trust!

Paul was a life saver. I had to leave my almost 5 month old Bernedoodle for the first time for a work trip and was quite nervous about it. Ozzie and I have become super attached to each other this winter stuck at home. Paul jumped in and did daily visits for me- even took him on walks in the 20 degree icy conditions. Ozzie did great with him and I couldnt be happier. We also have an 11 year old that enjoyed Paul’s company. They played a lot of ball together and he wore my little babies out!

Paul was great with my two large, reactive rescue dogs!

I have seen Paul take care of many different animals in my tenure of knowing him. When he met my dogs for the first time, at the time I had two massive (but friendly) golden retrievers and hew was completely unfazed by their size or energetic behavior. When he got a dog of his own, I watched him train her into a very obedient golden, which surprised me because having grown up with goldens all my life, she learned commands very quickly. He is a huge animal lover and can handle some very intense personalities from dogs. I highly recommend him.
