I am comfortable crating your dog, taking them for walks, playing with them, providing basic care or anything else that you would like me to do for them.

Information Patrick D. would like to know about your pet

I love working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Please let me know in advance if your dog requires any care and I’m happy to provide it.

A typical day

I typically love to take dogs for a long walk to enjoy the outdoors and get some energy out. Once we get back I make sure they have enough water and find their favorite toy if they want to keep playing.

Pet care experience

Having multiple pets has been a part of my entire life, from the pets I had with my family to my own now. My first job ever was a professional care-taker at a boarding shelter for dogs. Now I walk and care for dogs part-time.

Great communication and able to accommodate a last-minute request! Took pictures, mapped out my dog's walk, and as a bonus - hung with my cat before wrapping up. Definitely recommend!

Patrick was fantastic! Came in clutch during an emergency for me and took great care of my dogs. Marv + Daphne loved him and I will absolutely work with him again.

I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!
