Safety, trust & environment

If you do chose me to walk your dog we can discuss what would be best for picking them up for the walk and dropping them back off at your home. If your dog is crate trained I have no problem making sure they go into their crate before I leave.

Information Pat A. would like to know about your pet

If there is any sort behavior you want me to reinforce such as sitting at crosswalks I will gladly do that and if there are things I should look out for such as squirrels or rabbits that won’t be a problem.

A typical day

I love walking around the neighborhood with my dogs and having them make some friends with other dogs along the way. I have plenty of extra treats laying around so I’ll definitely give them out along the walk.

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Patrick! I love dogs and have been around them most of my life, I have three of my own named Bubba, Sassy and Neo who I walk every day. I will be very patient and kind with your pup as if they were my own and make sure they’re having as much fun as I’ll be having! I love all animals including cats but sadly I have family that is allergic so that is a no go but I would definitely consider myself a dog person anyway , no dog is too big or too small for me I’ll love em all the same. Id be ecstatic to add ur dogs to my daily routine:) Questions are welcome of course!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
