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!

Patrick also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I really appreciated Patrick’s attentiveness towards my dog. Patrick sent pics and text updates on my dog, and it was very apparent that “Happy” was having a great time with his doggy friends and Patrick.
Patrick took the time to meet our dogs and learn their routine. He arrived as scheduled and gave the dogs a much needed afternoon break outside. We will definitely use him again.
We had Patrick drop in over the weekend to feed our dog and we couldn’t be happier! He communicated about how much he ate, drank, played and took pics. We will definitely have him back next time we are about of town!
Patrick loves dogs and had Delilah socializing with his dogs in minutes. Every picture she was playing, with her tail up and wagging. She was a happy part of pack when we picked her up. We'll definitely use Patrick to care for Delilah again.
Patrick took great care of my dog judy while I was on vacation. Highly recommend
Patrick was amazing. We were out of the country for his visits with our dog. His communication was timely and thorough. He went above and beyond with water plants, caring or our chickens, plants and cat as well at the dog. Will definitely recommend and use Patrick again.

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!
