Highlights
Pet care experience
Great Caretaker, Flexible Schedule!
*PLEASE NOTE* For overnight house sitting services, my well behaved dog Penelope will join me during my stay - if that doesn't sound like something your pets would enjoy, I would not be a great fit. For Drop-in services, I would leave Penny at home. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. My mother is a veterinarian and I would pet-sit/walk/feed many of the neighborhood/local pets for clients of hers. I currently have a 2 year old mini-heeler/shepherd/border collie mix named Penelope who is very friendly and well socialized! I also have a 3-4 year old orange tabby cat named Melvin.

Ratings and reviews
My pup runs a bit anxious and Patrick handles her super well. Great sitter!!
Patrick did such a great job with my anxious dog, and kindly accommodated a last minute request. Love the pic too!
Patrick was an awesome first person to leave my pup with overnight. He is so communicative and easygoing - totally eased my worries, and his sweet pup Penny was the perfect playmate for my girl. Patrick is a gem!
This was the first time Athena didn’t want to leave a rover visit. She was so sleepy when we got home. She had so much fun with Patrick’s dog Penny. I definitely recommend Patrick to watch your pet.
Patrick was a great help with boarding for our two dogs. Great with communication and sent photos of them daily which we truly appreciated. Would easily recommend to anyone looking for help! Thank again!
It gave me immense peace of mind leaving my pup with Patrick and his dog Penny for the day. He accommodated a meet/greet beforehand to make sure it was a good fit, and has a great space for them to run around and play. Patrick knows dogs and their behavior really well and made sure they also had some time to chill/decompress. Highly recommend! Patrick is a gem!

Schedule
I work remotely, freelance, and set my own schedule - so I'm able to accommodate the time and frequency that works best for you and your pets' needs!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced (6ft) back yard and a small, fully fenced (3.5ft) front yard. I also live in a very walkable area with lots of great options for on-leash walks through quiet, low-traffic neighborhoods. In your home for drop-ins, I can accommodate almost anything that you need! For overnights in your home, I would prefer my small dog, Penelope, join me, but can potentially make it work to do an overnight stay without her if that works best.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day while I’m pet sitting varies depending on what your pet wants :) if it’s a slow stroll around the neighborhood, or a brisk walk to cover some distance, or simply playing in the backyard or lounging around the house - it all centers around spending quality time with your beloved pet so they think of my house and/or my presence is a positive thing! There’s no better review than your pet being excited to see me!
