Pet care experience

Meow who needs a good sitter

In 1987 I spent my first communion money on Pee-Wee the parakeet and haven't looked back. I come with 36 years in the responsible pet-owning department. It has been time-consuming, heart-breaking, and expensive, but worth it. Currently, three cats and two dogs let me live with them. It would be easier to list the pets I haven't taken care of than the ones I have. They are reptiles (I prefer not feeding animals to other animals), and hobby farm animals, which i hope to have one day. Walks: I need them. Your dog needs them. 30 minutes strolls. Unfortunately I can't pull off the days when the sidewalks are icy. Daycare: I'm limited here because I have a small, elderly pup in the house. I can offer your dog an hour of energy-burning activity in my large, fenced-in backyard. There are a lot of bushes and trees so treat them for ticks and fleas. One dog at a time for now. House-sitting: There are several levels of care and a lot of trust involved here. We can meet to hash out the details and see if we're all good match.

I have known Pat for many years and I can confidently say that he is one of the most caring and dedicated pet lovers I know. He has a long history of having pets and always goes above and beyond to ensure they are well taken care of. Not only is he amazing with his own animals, but he has also been my pet sitter for years, and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing my pets are in his care. He is attentive, reliable, and truly treats every pet as if they were his own. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter!

I don't know anyone else that I would want to take care of my pets than Patrick. His love for animals is well known amongst his family and friends, and that they all trust him whenever they need any help with their pets.

I have known Pat for over 20 years. In that time one of our common bonds has been our pets. While I've only had one dog at a time, and fish, he has had multiple dogs, cats, birds, a rat...sometimes kind of like a zoo! He always cares for each of his pets, and does whatever it takes to keep them happy and healthy!
