Hello let me introduce myself. My name is Paul. I pride myself on being responsible, dependable , professional, and a man of character.
Over the years, I have owned multiple homes. As a home owner, I understand the need to be confident that your house sitter is responsible and dependable. That they will treat your property as you would your own. That entrusting your property and pets to someone needs to be done with 100% confidence. I understand and respect this and pride myself on being able to provide this service.
I have always had the pleasure of sharing my life with pets both dogs and cats. My last cat lived with me for 18 years. She was a great companion and friend. I love animals and miss having a pet at the present time but because I want to live a more traveling lifestyle it is not the time for another pet partner. I do enjoy caring for other's pets immensely and have had many opportunities to pet sit for friends over the years. I understand they are your family and it is a great responsibility to make sure they are safe and happy when you are away.
I have had the opportunity to enjoy a long career as a professional Kung Fu and Tai Chi instructor and business owner; mentoring thousands of students over the past 20 years (kids and adults). I am semi-retired now and love to travel and meet new people.
In addition to being a martial arts instructor, I am also a lifetime water man, having lived on the North Shore of Oahu for many years. In 1986, I graduate from New York Marine Time college with a degree in Naval Architecture and worked as a professional engineer in the maritime fields and still work as a consultant today. Currently, I work seasonally running my own business as a sailboat charter captain. I am proud to say that I have an all 5 star ratings from our patrons using Airbnb Experiences as the platform and have enjoyed meeting many people from all over the world. I enjoy introducing people to the sailing lifestyle and marine life. I love anything to do with the ocean, surfing, sailing, diving, and adventure.
My other love is music. I am also a lifelong semi professional musician. I currently front a few Indie originals projects and tour and record part of the year.
Why I want to house sit
At this point in my life, I enjoy traveling and experience new things. To meet new people and expand my horizons. House/pet sitting seems like a great way to experience a wide variety of cultures and locations while providing a needed service to the traveling owner. A win win scenario!
My experience
So far I have only done one sit with Trusted House Sitters. This was last November in Hawaii. I really enjoyed the experience. I ended up caring for two very independent cats and their owners house. We all got along famously. In the past I have pet sit for friends in Seattle for many years now. At your request I can provide local references from friends I have cared for their pets if you need them.

Paul communicates well before and during his stay, giving us periodic updates on our pets and house. He did everything in his power to make us comfortable with the experience.

I have been working for Paul doing sailing charters for over a year now. Besides being an excellent captain and good communicator, he has also proven to be a very reliable friend with whom I trust immensely. The times that I needed help with something, he has been the one to step up. He is a man of is word and takes great pride in that. I would not hesitate at all in recommending him to friends or family as a house/pet sitter.
