I’m Patrick. I’m a 42 year old full time university voice professor. I absolutely love dogs! We have two of our own: a german Pinscher mix and cocker spaniel for roughly 9 years. I understand how stressful leaving your dogs in someone else’s care can be. You may not know me yet, but I’m an extremely caring dog lover. We don’t have any children - our dogs are our kids (they’re pretty spoiled)! We adopted both of them from shelters and would do it all over again. I’m a believer in communication while you’re away, especially for an extended leave. Don’t hesitate to text me just to check in on them! I know you’re thinking about them and I’m happy to let you know what they’re up to. I’d give your dog a nice brushing or play fetch with them in the back yard to let them get some good activity and love while you’re away. I want to help you care for you dogs while you’re gone. Dogs are less stressed when someone can care for them in their own home or in familiar surroundings. I’ll make sure that your dogs are cared for and get the attention they need. Every family dog has their own routine. I plan to get an understanding of what your family dog’s routine is to make the experience a positive one for you and your dog!
