Information Paul S. would like to know about your pet

I am open to any special needs your pet has—as long as you alert me about them first. I have a good deal of experience with “reactive” dogs. However, I need to “meet” them first and will only work with them if they allow me to approach them after 30 minutes.

A typical day

I like to take dogs for short walks and give them the attention they need. With cats, I take my cues from them. In both cases, I “listen” to the animals’ “nonverbals” before acting.

Pet care experience

I love walking and playing with dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds. I also love cuddling with kitties—or letting them come to me once they deem me worthy. I have been through adult beginner training for dogs aLike your dog, I can’t get enough walks. Before moving back to my native Wisconsin, I hiked about half of the Appalachian Trail. nd have received one-on-one instruction from an animal behavioralist. If you need someone to reinforce your canine commands, I’d be glad to help. I am a professional writer with lots of flexibility. I spend much of my day waiting for phone calls and inspiration. Then I spend more time summoning the will to commit words to paper. Animal interaction is a welcome break.I’d love to procrastinate with your pet!

Paul did a fantastic job taking care of our pups! Lots of walks, playtime and snuggles. Very attentive to all of our requests and great at sending updates and photos. We would highly recommend him and would gladly request his services again for our next out of town trip.

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.
