Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifetime experience in Animal Care
I have spent a lifetime caring for animals, both professionally and personally. My experiences have ranged from managing a Shelter for the MSPCA, to managing a kennel of 60+ hounds as well as always having a multiple dog household. These experiences have equipped me to understand temperament, troubleshoot, manage all forms of medication including all shots. Very knowledgeable at caring for senior dogs and puppies. Very experienced in all bird care, having run a parrot rescue and breeding center, as well as managing a large waterfowl collection including crane’s, flamingoes swans, geese and ducks. I have always kept all forms of poultry on our sheep farm as well. Having a sheep farm has equipped me to care for most farm animals including milking, either cows or goats.

Patrick is an amazing dog walker and caretaker. He is good with all dogs and understands them well. Patrick was very accommodating and handled my dog’s needs and special care like a true professional! 100% recommend Patrick.
Thank you so much for taking such great care of Billy last evening. I truly appreciate your experience and calm approach—it made me feel very comfortable leaving him with you. Everything went smoothly, and it means a lot to know he was in such good hands. See you again soon.

Also able to closely follow set schedules for all dogs calmly and in an unhurried way which is also very important for their well being
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am fortunate to live in a private secluded situation where dogs can be walked on trails around home where you rarely encounter other dogs. Dirt driveway is a mile long ending at my house. It is a very safe place for your dog(s). Having lived on farm most of life has made me very vigilant to check all doors and gates twice. I live alone with my dog Samuel. It is very quiet, calm and predictable here, so I am able to focus on your dog’s needs. Your dog(s)most welcome to have the run of the house, including all furniture and beds.
Pets
A typical day
All instructions given for your dog will be followed reliably. Consistently following his daily routine is necessary for his peace of mind. He will miss you a little less if all else remains the same. Taking cues from your dog including playing with his favorite toys or discovering new ones here. Lots of trails accessible from my house, wooded areas to explore and smell. This really depends on your dog and what THEY would like to do or consider fun
