Highlights
Pet care experience
Go-to sitter for all my friends.
One delightful benefit of being single and living alone is I’ve ended up being the person in my friends group who gets to dog sit for all my friends whenever they go out of town. I studied Ecology at University and the love and respect of all animals is very much ingrained in me. I work from home, so to have a justified incentive to leave my desk and go for a walk would be gratefully appreciated.

Ratings and reviews
Patrick did an amazing job taking care of my pup Rafa. He provided a clean and comfortable environment for him, was very communicative, and very friendly. I would 100% recommend Patrick to watch over your fur baby.

I can't speak highly enough of Patrick and the exceptional care he provides for my dog. From the moment I met Patrick, it was clear that he has a genuine love for animals, and his attention to detail and compassion have exceeded all my expectations. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime or simply providing companionship, Patrick goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is happy, healthy, and well-loved. What truly stands out is Patrick's communication. I receive updates and photos, which reassure me that my dog is in great hands. I trust Patrick completely, and knowing he is taking care of my dog gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet caregiver.
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Patrick McCarthy as a trusted and exceptional dog caregiver. Patrick has had the pleasure of caring for my three beloved dogs on numerous occasions, and I can confidently attest to his outstanding ability to provide top-notch care and attention to our furry friends. Our dogs absolutely adore Patrick, and it's clear that the feeling is mutual. They eagerly anticipate his visits and thoroughly enjoy every moment spent in his company. Patrick's kind, gentle, and patient nature has earned him a special place in our dogs' hearts, and we're grateful to have him in our lives. My fiancé and I have complete trust in Patrick when it comes to our dogs' well-being. We know that they're in capable hands, and that Patrick will go above and beyond to ensure their happiness, safety, and comfort. When our dogs return home after spending time with Patrick, they're always happy, relaxed, and content, which is a testament to the exceptional care he provides.

He's a true animal lover, and his dedication to providing outstanding care is evident in everything he does. Please feel free to contact me if you require any additional information. Sincerely, Santino Payne
Patrick is the best dog sitter ever! He has cared for my dog, Yuki, multiple times while I’m away for a few days, and Yuki is always the happiest when he’s with him. Patrick treats him like family, giving him so much love and attention. It’s such a relief knowing he is in great hands, and I completely trust him to care for him. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Schedule
I live in the foothills of Sherman Oaks which makes for easy, safe walks in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I’m also more than happy to hop in the car and take dogs to the park. I’m completely flexible to the desires and recommendations of the owner.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for dogs as if they were my own. Lots of interaction, affection, a continual supply of fresh water and hopefully a buddy to watch the Premier League with me on the weekend!
A typical day
Daily walks to explore the sights and smells of the neighborhood. Mess about with any toys on hand and never forgetting regular cuddle time ☺️
