I love dogs more than people :)

Now accepting new bookings for spring and summer 2026 🐶 🌞 🏝️ 🐈 🌈 🌍 Hello! I'm Patrick. I’m a writer and journalist, who loves going on walks. I also love animals! I have cared for my own dog, Zoey, since I was a little boy, she was one of my best friends growing up. I think there's something really special about man's connection with canines and all of the animal kingdom. I very much look forward to meeting your special friend! :)

Doggy Day Care • Aug 10, 2026

Patrick was amazing with my dog! Extremely communicative and helpful when discussing scheduling and my dog’s needs, particularly around anxiety.

Boarding • Nov 13, 2025

This is the second time Patrick has cared for our sweet mini aussie Levi, and we are so, so thrilled to have found him. This time, Levi stayed with Patrick for three days, and we felt so comfortable knowing Levi was so well cared for, especially because Levi can have severe anxiety when we are away from him. Patrick was exceptional at communicating, and Levi was so content - it seemed like he didn't want to leave when we picked him up. We will continue to use Patrick as our go-to Rover sitter. Thank you again Patrick!

Patrick was fantastic with Zuko! Responsible, warm, attentive—and a good communicator with me throughout. Will rebook!

Patrick was so thoughtful with my nervous dog, going out of his way to make sure that she felt safe and comfortable while staying overnight, and shared updates with me throughout the day. He was wonderful and did a great job!!

Patrick walked our dogs while we were in town for a wedding. He was great, communicative, and sent us photos. Highly recommend!
