Safety, trust & environment

I have experience petsitting/boarding for dogs as small as Daschunds or as big as a Berner. It is important for me to keep the dogs lives as routine as they are when their parents are home, and I am attuned to each dog's specific needs.

Information Patrick D. would like to know about your pet

Temperament and triggers are important to know. I have worked with all sorts of dogs, so it's vital that I understand your dogs needs and personality.

A typical day

It all depends on the dog! We can walk or run. Playtime in the backyard is always a plus. If there are any tricks/commands your pups are trying to learn, I love to practice them with your dog. Given the heat, I try to keep to shaded areas during the summer and make sure the pups have fresh water.

Pet care experience

I have walked dogs since 2018. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, ages, and needs. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and special needs dogs, but I love them all! I also take pride in my pet photography skills 🙂 Regarding boarding I live in a 2 bedroom apartment that has a large, enclosed yard area for pups to play. I live in a very walkable neighborhood for great dog walks and am near a few dogs parks.

Patrick was fantastic with our two senior dogs, Finn (12) and Pip (8), during their 5-day stay at his place. From the very first conversation, you could tell he's an experienced dog sitter — he asked all the right questions about their routines, needs, and quirks before we even dropped them off. He reliably gave Finn his daily medication without any issues, which was a huge relief for us, and he sent regular photo updates throughout the stay so we never had to wonder how they were doing. His communication was excellent from start to finish. Most importantly, our dogs came home happy and relaxed. It's not always easy leaving older dogs with someone new, but Patrick made it completely stress-free. We'd book with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter!

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.
