No more FOMO, just Banjo & Buddies!
Pet care experience
As a lifelong dog lover, I did a lot of puppy-sitting for family and neighbors when I was younger. I love all dogs, whether they're small enough to sink between the couch cushions or big enough to be a bear. I'm a dog owner myself: my puppy Banjo comes with me everywhere, and he loves being socialized. I can promise that your dog will not only be treated well by me, but by Banjo as well. Playtime is always more fun with more friends around! I pride myself on my communication skills with dogs. Body language and tone of voice are important for keeping dogs safe and out of trouble. Rest assured I always try to distract, never punish, a dog doing something it shouldn't be doing.
Reviews
Paul was awesome to have take my pups on walk. Kept in touch and updated me along the way.
Paul cared for my house dog Mandy while I vacationed. He walked her, fed and watered her, and gave her the love and attention she needs every day.
Paul is a very caring and dedicated dog owner. I have seen him interact with his own puppy and have been so impressed by the tricks he has taught him and the puppy is only five months old. Paul has taken care of neighbor's and family member's pets when they have been on vacation and has done an excellent job. He genuinely loves animals and interacts well with them. He understands their needs and provides for them. I have trusted Paul with my own pets several times and would recommend him to anyone.
Paul is an excellent dog dad. He takes great care to make sure his own dog is well-trained and well-loved. During puppyhood he established the dog’s crate as a safe and comfortable space, in addition to setting boundaries (e.g. no eating food that isn’t presented on the floor) that the dog continues to respect. Paul loves playing fetch and tug-of-war so the dog is delightfully tired out — and when it comes to safety, he is aware of his surroundings and will keep a short leash when necessary. Whether pupper, doggo, or woofer, your pooch is in good hands with Paul.

Information Paul R. would like to know about your pet
The only requirement I have is that your dog doesn't mind other dogs. They can be rough or timid, purebred or mutt, I'm sure Banjo and I will have a great time with them no matter what!
A typical day
I like long walks through nature, so if you live near a trail or a park that would be my first choice, but Banjo loves walking around new neighborhoods, who better to give him a tour than a local pup?
