I want to be every dogs' friend.

Pet care experience

Walked an obese, elderly beagle growing up. Spent a month watching a rat terrier (little fella) and a Cane Corso (massive fella). I currently own a four year old beagle and spend much time watching family dogs: pitbull boxer mix, german shepherd Belgian malinois mix, and Australian shepherd husky mix. Also, I have always owned a fish tank.

Patrick was amazing with Marley. Extremely communicative, sent photos and videos and updates or questions when necessary. We would love to use him again.

Patrick recently looked after my two older dogs for several days and I was very happy with how smoothly everything went. He was able to adapt to the individual needs of my dogs, and sent pictures regularly - which was reassuring to me. Would definitely re-book with Patrick.

Patrick is a great dog walker! He is very dependable for my dogs daily walks. He comes right on time and gives my dog a nice long walk everyday. Highly recommend Patrick for your dog!

Information Patrick M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any restrictions of pets, such as diet and special needs. It is also important to know of any particular triggers of pets. I can handle large and/or biting dogs as long as I have some guidance as to what to do and what not to do.

A typical day

Snuffing pads are a fun and stimulating way to give dogs treats. They are also a distraction for dogs with separation anxiety when I am leaving them. I certainly love the usual session of fetch and long walks.
