Uncle Pat's Sit and Stay!

I've had several Beagles growing up. Each one was a family dog but it was obvious who the dog considered their favorite! I dont currently own a dog but I plan on adopting a rescue pup soon. I love to be around dogs and I've been walking, sitting, and boarding for friends, family, and neighbors for years. Dogs are the best people! * I will not book any boarding or sitting jobs without meeting you and your pup(s) first. It's just best for everyone involved and it's important to me that your pup will be comfortable with me and my home.

Great first visit with Uncle Pat! Kit Kat bonded right away, with treats, brushings and even made a new puppy friend! Pat took the time to understand all his quirks with a meet and greet. Made drop off and pick up a breeze. Have to adjust to afternoon and evening hours, but that wasn't a problem for us. Appreciate all of the daily pics and updates. Looking forward to our next stay!

Pat was great with Scout!! Went above and beyond taking care of her while I was gone. Went on walks and got plenty of photos and updates. Would recommend and use his service again!

Uncle Pat was great with my pup. She came back healthy and happy. Pat sent pics and updates and took good care of my sweet pup.

Patrick was absolutely wonderful! Communication was excellent before and during our pet's stay with him. He sent frequent pictures and videos (our pup was having a blast), which really set our minds at ease. It was comforting to know our dog was in great hands. We would 1000% book with him again. Thanks Uncle Pat!!

Patrick gave Indy so much attention! She had a mini vacation while I was gone. He sent pictures and gave updates frequently! Would definitely recommend choosing him to watch your fur baby!

Schedule

I work from home everyday building and repairing guitar amplifiers. Having doggos around makes it feel less like work, especially if they like to sing along or howl to guitar playing! I tend to start work late(around noon) and go until 9 or 10PM but will take plenty of breaks for meals, walks, and play. Honestly, I'd rather play with dogs than work so help me procrastinate! Lol!

Safety, trust & environment

My casita has small fenced-in front and back yards where they can go potty, sniff, and play. I'm not sure if this is considered an apartment or house. There are 3 other casitas here attached by carports but all entrances and fenced areas are private. Luckily my neighbors and landlords are dog owners/lovers! The sliding door to the deck and rear yard opens from the bedroom which also has a recliner where they are welcome to nap. And, Brandi Fenton dog park is nearby if they need to run.

A typical day

I typically walk around my neighborhood and throw ball or play tug of war in the back yard or bedroom but I can drive a short distance to the loop bike path or to Brandi Memorial dog park if they are high-energy dogs and need to run. They are welcome on the furniture and on my bed as long as they are reasonably clean and not too stinky. Lol!
