Pet Owner Medical Student

Pet care experience

I am a medical student and animal lover! I take caring for houses, plants, and pets as seriously as I would my future medical practice while having tons of fun at the same time. As a lifetime cat owner, I can handle any and all aspects of cat care regardless if kitty is friendly or not (ie: playtime, medication administration, anxious cats, kittens, senior cats, messes of all kinds, etc.). When caring for your dog, I am very active and enjoy taking them for long walks, runs, and park/yard playtime. If doggy just wants to hang out at home, I am just as happy doing that as they are. If you need me to take care of any other household aspects while you are away, I am more than happy to help (ie: trash day, packages, plant watering, certain cleaning jobs, etc.). I have a flexible school schedule and live in centrally located Wrigleyville so I can be anywhere quite quickly for those last minute care taking needs.

Highly recommended! Patrick was available on very short notice, was great at communication and I liked getting pictures every day. It was nice to know that our cat Boef was cared for and I could tell that when we came back he was much less clingy than in the past when we've gone on weekend trips without someone checking in on him. Definitely not going back to that anymore. Patrick also took a package inside for us, as well as put the trash, recycling and yard waste bins out on the street and back again the next day, as advertised on his profile, which was much appreciated. Thanks again!

Very friendly. Showed up on-time and sent an update to let me know that my dog was pooped and peed. Thanks for walking Taco. Would recommend to other. Will rebook in the future for sure.

Best petsitter ever! Patrick went above and beyond in caring for my cat for about a week right around Christmas while I traveled. Besides all of the usual duties — feeding, scooping litter and petting — Patrick played with my cat and kept him company, which meant so much since no one wants a cat left entirely alone for more than a few days. Patrick provided many treats and pets, and communicated with me extremely well throughout the care period, sending photos and updates. He's warm and positive, a fellow cat lover, and a pleasure to do business with! Thank you, Patrick :)

Patrick was great with our 10 mo kitten Luna! It was the first time we left for longer than 48 hrs and we were somewhat worried, but we came back to a healthy and happy cat. Patrick sent photos of them snuggling and by the sound of it, they really hit it off! He proactively went above and beyond and we wouldn’t hesitate to have him care for Luna in the future. It was a great experience.

Information Patrick M. would like to know about your pet

I enjoy working with dogs and cats of all types! Before caring for a dog I like to know: what kind of walk the dog prefers, favorite petting spots, how your dog is communicated with in the home, and what makes your dog feel loved/safe. Before caring for a cat I like to know: how I can best get to know it, how the cat likes to be approached, and where kitty's "safe places" are (so I can check on them if they hide).

A typical day

During a stay with me, a dog can expect tons of love, a customized amount of activity depending on preferences, and a firm hand when walking to ensure safety.
