We are very fortunate to have had Paul as our pet/house sitter! Paul exceeded our expectations in many ways! He decided to stay in our home when Hurricane Ida hit on August 29 ensuring that our indoor cat and two outdoor cats were well provided for, as well as keeping our home secure. Paul was very communicative from day 1 and even shared many stories with us regarding our pets! Paul was kind and caring towards our pets and truly took an interest in their well-being.

Paul was great from the start- reliable, communicative, and super helpful! He stayed in touch throughout- and sent a few pics of my kitty! Highly recommend for a reliable sit!

We had a last-minute cancellation with another house sitter. Thank goodness Paul came to the rescue! We connected 36 hours before we were leaving for our trip and he made the 18-hour drive from California to Colorado on short notice, arriving just an hour after we left. Paul took excellent care of our cats, chickens, and goats. The house was spotless when we returned, and the animals were all fed and happy. Paul texted me updates regularly and called the last morning of the trip to report ... MOREWe had a last-minute cancellation with another house sitter. Thank goodness Paul came to the rescue!

Paul texted me updates regularly and called the last morning of the trip to report on the birth of two baby goats. (Surprise!!) I would highly recommend Paul and look forward to having him sit for us again.

This was our first house sitting experience and Paul has set the bar extremely high for our future sitters.
I think my house is cleaner then when I left! He did an amazing job with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. They were happy and healthy upon returning.
I can see he took care of our home and made our first experience so wonderful.
I would not hesitate to recommend him as he is awesome. He gave us updates on our critters and on things going on at our home.
I cannot say enough good ... MOREThis was our first house sitting experience and Paul has set the bar extremely high for our future sitters.

Paul was great! We never had to worry about our home and our animals with him there. So much peace of mind while we were traveling.
The house was immaculate when we got back as well. I'd love to have Paul house sit again, any time.

Thanks again for the opportunity. Hope to see y'all in the future. Paul
Paul was a perfect House Sitter. I was fortunate to find him. He did a great job taking care of Rosie (my Rottweiler) giving her lots of attention and walks. We texted and talked plenty and I was very comfortable with him. I highly recommend him as a house/pet sitter!

Paul took excellent care of our 2 elderly cats and our acreage and home. He house sat during an extended hot spell and he made sure things were kept watered which included a large lawn, flower beds and vegetable gardens. Thanks to you Paul, we will have veggies all summer long.
