Availability

Your dog is my number one priority. I'm taking time away from the 9 to 5 grind so I can enjoy life outside of work and one of those things that brings me so much joy are animals! Therefore, when I'm sitting your pet, they dictate the schedule of the day, not me.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm a very doting pet owner/ sitter and I treat them all like family. I'm always checking to see if they need anything or are getting into anything they shouldn't be. I've only ever had rescues, so I'm used to separation anxiety (honestly I get it too) and behavioral issues and I'm very attentive to all dogs but especially those ones that need a little bit of extra love.

Information Paul S. would like to know about your pet

A good place to start is just your dog's typical daily schedule but I also love to hear about their funny quirks and what some of their favorite things to do are!

A typical day

Like I mentioned before, I love going on hikes, exploring on foot, and heading down to the coast and would love to take your pup with me on those adventures.

Loving, Active, Flexible

Pet care experience

I'm a recent transplant to New York and would love to care for your furry friends! I'm always out and about whether that's out in nature, hanging by the lake, or exploring my new surroundings. You can count on your pup being right next to me wherever I go. Growing up, dogs have always been a big part of my life from my own pups to sitting around the neighborhood to even fostering one in college. I have lots of dog sitting experience with all shapes and sizes and even potty trained that dog that I was fostering! I hope I get to meet you and your dog soon and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to shoot me a message.

Paul was great with our dogs, cat and home. All was peaceful and calm when we arrived back home, he kept in touch, and I have confidence that they got all the walks and hikes that they are used to/need. Best house/animal care and experience I have had - truly. Enjoyed his company too...

If I could give Paul 12 stars I would. We had planned for months to secure a sitter for our dogs (one w special needs) which fell through last minute. We found Paul literal days before our trip out of the country for over a week. Let me count the ways in which we unintentionally threw him curve balls: - my laptop broke right before leaving and he had to manage a delivery from my company - only a day in my sister had an emergency (no heat) and her entire family had to move in! We kept Paul on during the day while my sisters family stayed overnight. - my sister also had a dog and we had to add an additional dog to the scope. Also, it was a great Dane! No small ask. - there was a huge snowstorm and he couldn't even drive down the road! With every single bump, Paul stayed calm, professional, and communicative. He far surpassed our expectations and we feel like the chaos and unexpected issues helped to create a deep sense of trust in Paul. We would absolutely hire him again and we would encourage anyone reading this to hire him immediately. Needless to say, my dogs absolutely worshipped him as well. Hero.

Paul is wonderful. Our Baby Doggo took to him like he knew him forever. Paul went above and beyond. We will use Paul again and again and again.
