Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Animal Lover
As a lifelong dog and cat lover, I have many years of experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I'm friendly, reliable, and genuinely enjoy providing every dog and cat with the love, attention, and care they deserve, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable, and safe while in my care. I have a large, secure back garden and am ideally located close to Hollow Ponds and Lloyd Park, offering plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks, exercise, and outdoor play.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Patrick went above and beyond my requests to look after our cat Walnut. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a no nonsense, trustworthy cat sitter!
Patrick was wonderful from the moment I contacted him to walk our dogs. He responded instantly and took the time to have a call with me so that I could share more about the girls. He arrived right on time and shared photos. It was wonderful to see the girls so at ease and happy on their first walk with him! Looking forward to their next outing with Patrick!
Patrick was great with my dog, Ollie. He did a drop in visit, and she was noticeably calmer when I got back than on occasions when I’ve left her alone without someone checking in. Would definitely book again!
Patrick is a delight - kind, personable and clearly with a passion for animals! Thank you!
Patrick was great with our dog Scampi. His communication was super easy and responsive, he dropped in on scampi and walked and fed her and sent lots of pics. She seemed very happy when we returned! Thank you Patrick
Patrick is lovely and came over to hang out with Monty briefly before starting to walk him. He was dead flexible when we needed him to be (eg. came 20 mins earlier at short notice) and Monty seems to really like him. He’s offered to have him over night if we need it, which may prove really helpful—we think he’d be great for that, so walking’s a no-brainer! Works in schools so maybe I’m a soft touch as a teacher, but generally a good sign in itself I find :) Recommend!

Schedule
I’m mainly available on weekends, when I have plenty of time to give pets my full attention. Am also available Monday - Friday from 6.30-8am and from 4.30 pm to offer walks, home visits etc. I love spending my free time walking, playing, and caring for dogs to keep them happy and active.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether in my home or yours, I follow each pet’s normal routine, keeping them comfortable and relaxed. I provide walks, feeding, play, and affection, always focusing on their safety and happiness.
A typical day
A typical day with your dog would start with a cheerful morning walk around the neighborhood or a local park, making sure they get plenty of exercise and sniffing time. I’ll make sure they have fresh water and a healthy meal, and I love spending time playing, or doing gentle training to keep them happy and engaged.
