Pet care experience

Your pet's favorite vacation spot!

Caring for dogs has been a part of my life since I was able to walk. I have cared for all ages, shapes, and temperaments. I have a knack for understanding their behavior and getting them what they need. Since becoming a homeowner I have shaped my home into a place pets feel comfortable. I am the go-to pet sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors, and I look forward to becoming your go-to sitter as well!

Patrick did great with our dogs. He is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and worked well with our reactive dog.

Patrick was absolutely amazing! He watched our two goldendoodles while we were at our daughter‘s wedding for the whole day! Our Doodles came back so happy and well rested! Thank you, Patrick! If you’re thinking of coming to the Denver area, I highly recommend using Patrick as a Dog Sitter, I felt so comfortable after meeting him and seeing his pet friendly home that I knew my dogs would have a great day, and I did not worry about them once during the day!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard for my elderly basset hound, Stella, and adult mini poodle mix, Winston. We go on frequent walks to either of the nearby parks, and cuddle up on the couch when the weather doesn't cooperate. How I care for visiting pets very much depends on the visitor's needs. I'll give extra attention for anxious pups, a separate space for shy guys, extra play time for the hyper dogs. I will do all that I can to make this a pleasant experience for your pet, so you can have a pleasant vacation free from worry!

Pets

A typical day

We typically start our day with breakfast followed by outside time (I do yardwork while the dogs carefully observe the neighbor's chickens). Around midday we do tricks for treats. We like to get a walk in right around dusk. After dinner is indoor play time followed promptly by couch cuddles. My guests' comfort is a high priority, so if your pet has a routine I'm happy to incorporate their habbits into our routine to make them feel safe and loved!
