I love dogs!
Pet care experience
I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with Great Pyrenees, Black Labs, and German Shepherds. Just over two years ago, I got my own dog named Duke. He is a Goldendoodle, who is in my opinion the greatest dog ever and my best friend. I have some experience in training as I have taken Duke through the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels of PetSmart training curriculum (I would recommend all dog owners to go through these courses). I’m not just here for the supplemental income, but to interact with all kinds of dogs. Not only being around dogs is fun, but it can also teach you and keep growing you as an owner along the way. I look forward to working with many different kinds of dogs, and will treat them with the same and utmost love and respect that I give my own!
Reviews
I found the best person ever for my four-legged friend. It was last minute and I had to go on a two day trip and since she rescued me, I from my pop. You can only imagine what I was going through. I needed to find the right person and somehow, that is exactly what happened. Patrick responded right away And he did the best thing possible. He asked what a good time would be for a meet and greet. He didn’t just say yes, he wanted to meet my girl and see if they got along. They did from the very start. Then when he came back for the initial visit, he told me he was going to bring pup to see if the two would get along. She wasn’t necessarily that friendly with other dogs but she certainly was with his dog, Duke. Throughout the trip, send me pictures and video and told me everything that was going on. I couldn’t have asked for a better human to watch my girl. Then, we’ve been in touch even while he was on vacation so that we could arrange my next trip. There are no amount of stars to really tell you what a great person Patrick is and how he relates to my dog. Sometimes I wonder if she actually likes him better than me. There’s no question I would recommend him. No question at all.
Patrick is a very positive and upbeat individual. I have known him for almost 10 years. He currently has a Golden Doodle which I have watched grow from a puppy to 2 and 1/2 years old. He is very well trained and consistent in all areas of obedience. Duke, his dog, is friendly and gets along with all other dogs. Patrick knows how to manage the safety of dog introductions both with other dogs and with humans. Patrick is very trustworthy and personable. I highly recommend him to care for your dog(s).
I have known Patrick for over a year now and seen h interact with multiple dogs, including his own. His dog is well trained and well cared for. Patrick shows patience with other dogs, and is attentive to a dog's needs and behavior. He showed dedication, profesdionalism and consistency in his previous jobs and I have no doubt he will do the same at rover. He is responsible and trust worthy, and I would let him watch my dog any time.
Patrick has been walking my beloved golden doodle for about a year now. He is a respectful young man who always arrives early and with a smile on his face. Some times I am home when his walks are scheduled and other times I am out of the house. No matter what, he is very good at communicating his arrival and departure and any info he feels I should be aware of, like an encounter with another dog. Patrick has always been very good about following my pup’s routine and always asks questions when he isn’t sure. I would recommend this awesome dog walker to anyone!

Safety, trust & environment
I am in a house with a yard that is not closed. I won’t let the dogs run around in the yard due to no fence, but will gladly take them for long walks and to the dog park to get plenty of sunlight and exercise outside. Duke does well with most dogs. He will gladly greet any dog and try to be best friends with them.
