Highlights
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!

Ratings and reviews
Patrick is always great and my dog loves hanging out with him!
Patrick is awesome. Great with my dogs!!!
Best of the best. Glad I lucked into Patrick a few weeks ago. I’m more than willing to drive the 30 mins for his service when we go out of town! He understands dogs, they understand him, and it creates a fantastic and dog-calming / dog-happy place where I can relax on vacation knowing he’s cared for. Highest praise!
Timely, great communication and very friendly at our first meet and greet!
Patrick was wonderful to work with. He’s a great communicator and provided lots of pictures! Our dog has separation anxiety and Patrick gave him lots of attention. He got to play with dogs at his house and seemed to love his stay. We will book again!
Patrick took great care of our dog when we needed help last minute!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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!

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!
