About: Hello Fellow Pet Parents, I work in education so I have an abundance of availability in the summer. During the school year I’m free weekends and during holiday breaks for all sitting purposes! So what can I say!?! Hummm… I Have assisted in the pet sitting world for over 10 years both commercially and privately. Built our own little dog park which gets cleaned daily. My pups are super friendly and love to do zoomies with visitors. The home is open and spacious. All dogs get individual attention. I work, but during the summer and parts of the year I do work remotely and have time off. I spend most of my weekends, afternoons, and evenings home with the pups and family. I have a fenced in little doggie park that gets cleaned daily. Dogs are free to roam the home unless you prefer them to be crated at anytime (ex. Bedtime). Two small dogs live here who are extremely social, vaccinated, and love playing with visitors. There are doggie cameras too. I make myself available anytime for my fellow doggie parents.

“We had Paul back to care for our fur babies, and once again it was a great experience. He is responsible and caring and even lets Teddy jump on his shoulders for headbutts! We highly recommend!”
