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!

My kitty, Poppy, loves Paul! Poppy greets him at the door and loves playing with him. Paul is also very patient and accommodating to my fearful cat. I feel very comfortable leaving my pets in his care.

Paul was wonderful with our dogs and we greatly appreciated his updates and pictures while we were away! Highly recommend him and will be contacting him for future pet sitting!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very attentive and believe in clear communication between me and clients. I like to exceed expectations—but need to know what those are first!

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.
