Information Patrick M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know any special needs your pet may have. Let me know any specific behaviors you would like me to work on. It would be helpful to know what commands your dog has already mastered and any training you would like me to focus on. I would appreciate any insight you have about your dogs normal routes and behaviors.

A typical day

I will engage in play with your pet and do mini training sessions to stimulate your dog. I believe in training through play. I will also take your dog on walks to explore new environments.

Pet care experience

I‘ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve been assisting my mom who has been a Rover pet-sitter for the past three years. And I took independent care for a sibling’s pet cat for about 6 months.

Patrick is an excellent reliable young man with a unique ability to connect with dogs. I have 2 three year old puppies (a Coton. Mimi, and a Shi-poo, Kylo). Kylo has an issue initially meeting people - barking a lot. Patrick has an immediate soothing efffect and Kylo goes up to him wagging his tail and looking for pets. I recommend Patrick for the care of your pets and home.

We’ve left 5-star reviews about Patrick a couple times before. But here’s the message I just sent to him after we got home from our trip: “ You give us such peace of mind while we are gone, knowing Dulcie gets to stay where she is most comfortable ...with someone we trust! Thank you, Patrick”
