Woof-Walk Wiz: Paw-some Pet Pal!

Update 6/5/26 - With rising gas prices I've had to raise prices to make up for how much driving I'm having to do. That being said, I will adjust this based on location if you are within 5 miles of me, I will deduct $15 per night from the final price, within 10 miles I will deduct $7.50 per night, and beyond will be full price. I have had the pleasure of caring for two incredible dogs throughout different periods of my life. Tully, my beloved Golden Retriever, was my faithful companion during my early years as a dog owner. Tully taught me the importance of patience, exercise, and maintaining a routine. We enjoyed numerous walks together, where I learned the art of leash training and the significance of providing mental and physical stimulation to keep him happy and content. Tully's gentle and playful nature made him a joy to be around, and I cherished the bond we shared. In addition to my time with Tully, I also had the privilege of caring for Bubbles, a wonderful Rottweiler-Lab mix. Bubbles came into my life later, and I quickly learned the unique needs and characteristics of larger breeds. With Bubbles, I focused on ensuring she received ample exercise to keep her active and engaged. We embarked on long walks and adventurous hikes, allowing me to develop a deep understanding of the energy levels and exercise requirements specific to larger dogs. Bubbles also taught me the importance of positive reinforcement training and building trust through consistent routines. Her loving and affectionate personality warmed my heart, and I thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Beyond my personal pets, I have also had the opportunity to extend my love for dogs by watching over other people's furry friends. I have experience in dog sitting for friends and family, ensuring their dogs received the attention, exercise, and care they deserved while their owners were away. I made sure to follow any specific instructions given to me, whether it was regarding feeding schedules, medication administration, or special exercise routines. Additionally, I have previous work experience in brewery taprooms, where I had the joy of interacting with numerous dogs. I cherished the moments spent playing with these furry visitors, understanding the importance of creating a safe and comfortable environment for them amidst the hustle and bustle of the taproom. Overall, my pet care experience has provided me with a deep appreciation for the unique needs and individual personalities of dogs. I am dedicated to ensuring their well-being, happiness, and safety, and I look forward to extending my passion for dogs as a reliable and trustworthy dog walker and sitter."

Safety, trust & environment

I like to make sure the my clients dogs aren't put into a uncomfortable situation. If you dog is comfortable going to the dog park, I can take them there, if they like to go on walks, that's great too. As long as the your dog feels safe and happy, I have no problem making sure they stick to their own routine.

Patrick was great taking care of our blind, senior dog. He was quick to respond and very easy to work with! He was on time and I was totally at ease leaving our dog with him for the entire afternoon and evening. I would definitely recommend Patrick!

Patrick was able to dog sit for me on extremely short notice and totally saved my weekend trip after my dog got injured and could no longer stay with her other boarder. He was very accommodating of her medical needs, including need for twice daily medication and activity restriction. Although they were just getting to know each other, Patrick made my sweet girl Jayde feel comfortable with him quickly and I felt comfortable leaving her in his care. I will definitely use Patrick as an in-home sitter again!

Patrick was fantastic! He was incredibly flexible and available on short notice, which we really appreciated. The dogs had an absolute blast with him and came home happy, tired, and ready for bed. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. We’d definitely book with Patrick again!

In my experience, dogs aren't always "themselves" when their parents aren't around, so anything you can tell me about their habits is great! Sometimes those habits stick, but because of the stress of being with a "stranger," they get exacerbated. But no matter what, know they will be receiving the best care regardless!
