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!

Information Patrick D. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet require any special care? Are there any peculiarities I should be aware of (eg. doesn't like when people wear hats, won't drink from metal bowls, etc)?

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!

Pet care experience

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 was wonderful. He let me visit before I hired him and my dog seemed really happy there. I really appreciate this man.

Patrick loves dogs and they love him back! Great to work with and kept us informed on how things were going. We’ll use him again!
