Caring, reliable pet lover!

Pet care experience

I am a pet sitter who recently moved to Roanoke, VA. Ihave always loved taking care of pets! I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. I have looked after and walked dogs for family and friends throughout my life and I enjoy checking in on pets and making sure they get enough exercise! I have looked after and walked puppy’s, old dogs and rescue dogs. I have also taken care of lizards and am comfortable with reptiles, cats, and practically any other type of pet. I am available for pet sitting and/or dog walking. I love spending time with animals and recognize that pets are a part of the family!

Pat did a wonderful job of looking after my cat while I was out of town. I felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands while I was away. I will be requesting him again when I need a cat sitter!

I have known Pat for my entire life and have seen first hand how great he is with animals. You get a good sense about him just by being around him and it’s clear that animals feel that too. My dog, Bleu absolutely adored him, and after they first met Pat immediately became one of his favorite humans. Pat was one of the only people I trusted enough to leave my pup with and I was very protective of my baby boy. I always knew Bleu was in great hands when Pat watched him. He is extremely reliable and a great communicator. I couldn’t recommend Pat enough!

There are very few people I have full confidence in taking care of my dog Titus, and Pat is one of those people. Pat and I were roommates in college and he was there when I first got Titus. Titus was a rescue so he needed a lot of help, and Pat was always there to lend a hand. Titus is a stocky boy, weighing around 75lbs at the time so he wasn't always easy, but Pat was always able to calm him down when he got a little too crazy with the zoomies. He helped me bathe, feed and walk Titus whenever I asked. He would watch over him when I couldn't be home because of work or other obligations. Pat was always kind and gentle with Titus, and I know Titus loved and appreciated Pat.

What makes Pat especially suitable for the job in our eyes, besides his ability to interact so well with our dogs, is his work ethic. He's reliable, communicates effectively, and showed patience with Fritz's surplus of energy. Moreover, he's both honest and concerned with safety, which allows him to always ask questions and clarify if there is something he is uncertain about. We were all (especially Fritz) sad when Pat moved, but we know he'll be of good service wherever he is!
