Compassionate Veteran Pet Lover
Pet care experience
With decades of pet care experience under my belt, I offer a compassionate and reliable service for your doggo. From daily walks to cuddle sessions, rest assured your furry companion will receive the utmost attention and love in my care. I also volunteer at "The Buddy Foundation" a dog and cat shelter in Arlington Heights, where my duties include walking and caring for a large range of dog sizes as well as personality types. I take great pride in loving an animal and making them feel safe.
Reviews
Once again Patrick did an outstanding job with our dog Brady. He was on time, and really interacted well with our dog. It is easy to see that Patrick is very comfortable and Loving with our dog. I appreciate that he sends us pictures of our dog while they are on their walk. Patrick also lets us know when he is on his way back after the walk.
Patrick was Awesome! It was my first time using Rover.com and Patrick was very knowledgeable and informative about the process. Patrick was very comfortable with my dog, and he took a liking to her immediately. Truly a fantastic experience, and both my dog and I will be looking forward to Patrick’s next visit!
Patrick took the Best care of our Bullmastiff puppy, Dagger. Communicated with me regularly, on time and very professional. When we returned home it was obvious Dagger had been well taken care of and loved. Highly recommend Patrick! Will be booking with him again, Dagger loves him.
Patrick was excellent with Winnie as usual! I say as usual, because I feel like we’ve known him forever and Winnie is very comfortable with him, but actually, this is only the second time that he’s taken Winnie for a walk. I feel completely trusting in his ability to handle her on a walk with a leash, and that has not been the case with others. He knows his stuff he’s kind, he’s friendly, and he’s firm when needed to direct her safety with her. Thanks Patrick & again, Winnie thinks you’re great!

Safety, trust & environment
I do keep my own dogs on a fixed feeding schedule (twice a day 11A & 7P.) My personal pets enjoy their meals inside of their crate with the gates closed, followed by a little bit of rest time after eating. Fresh water is always provided, as well as treats for good behavior. My doggos get lots of yard time, independently as well as together, as well as walks. In case of an emergency, we prefer Golf Rose Animal Hospital. We have used their services before and they are excellent. Dogs need structure and love, and this is how I approach taking care of my own or anyone else's furry companion.
Information Patrick A. would like to know about your pet
I’m not easily scared off by dogs. But some can be a bit less receptive to a new walker or someone entering their home. I fully understand this and have no issues getting to know your pet. I do ask that you please let me know in advance, as I have a slew of ticks to get your dog to warm up more quickly. Preparedness is always better than uncertainty, so if I know your dogs triggers we can all have a much safer and rewarding experience.
A typical day
Long walks (1.5+mi), Medium walks, Short walks (around the blackish, usually for older dogs). There if you’ve got a yard we’ll play fetch, chase, or anything your doggo likes. Ear scratches! Neck rubs! Belly rubs! And all of the cuddles.

Availability
I am a Realtor serving the greater Chicagoland area, and my work is typically based from home unless I need to leave for a showing. Showings never take that long so I am usually able to be back to your pets needs much sooner than later.
