Pet care experience

Animals are perfect

Hey, my name is Paul and I’ve been doing Rover for the past 3 years. My fur-baby passed away at the age of 19 in April of 2023, so now I Petsit to fulfill my need for a fur companionship. I have extensive experience with a number of different animals. Growing up, my grandfather had a farm in Idaho that I helped tend to when I visited. He had acres of pastures full of cows, a dozen goats, and a pack of Blue Heelers. Before that, my mother and I lived on a farm in Ohio for 3-years with horses, chickens, cats, and dogs. By day, I am an owner of a sports performance training studio located in Seattle. I still handle key business operations remotely, but most of the day to day obligations are handled by my manager/employees.

I always enter new spaces quietly and calmly, my goal is to reduce as much anxiety and stress animals have while their parents are away. I am very attuned to animal body language, and will do my best to make the feel safe and loved.

Paul was great! We got tons of communication and pictures and our dog seemed very happy and well cared for. Our house was well cared for and very clean as well! Will definitely look to book again.

Paul was great! He was easy to get a hold of and super communicative, sent daily updates of my two cats, and overall took great care of both my cats and my home while I was away

Paul did an excellent job with our dog, 2 cats and fish, and our house! He was very communicative and sent us cute pictures while we traveled. He took our doggo on excursions (with permission of course!) The house was immaculate with linens washed when we returned. We would love to work with Paul again!

Paul was simply amazing. Leaving our house and sweet Bert the cat can be stressful but Paul made us feel at ease immediately. He's great with communication, had a calm and knowledgeable energy and we were instantly hooked. Paul is the ideal housesitter; took care of my plants, cleaned and took excellent care of Bert. Having him watch our animals and house was a gift. We are more than happy with his care. Thank you a million Paul!

Schedule

95% of the time I can stay within a 4-hour limit, but I know before hand if there are conflicts outside this time frame and make sure to clear these rare obligations with owners. I can always bring dogs to my work and/or address all the animals needs before leaving.
