A friendly visitor to say hello

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Patrick and I'm available for drop-in and overnight care! Growing up with dogs made me realize their value as family members. Currently, I am a frequent pet sitter for my employers dogs, as well as for my family and friends. I am a great sitter because I am extremely calm under pressure, receptive and patient. As an active person, I can take your dog on walks or to the park. We can also enjoy trips to the beach! My work schedule is flexible and I am easy to communicate with. Following your instructions is of the utmost importance to me, and I am happy to accommodate your dog's needs. I am so excited to meet you and your dog! Please reach out to me if you think we would be a great fit!

Patrick was perfect! Stayed with our bundle of energy dog all day at our hotel room. Highly recommend him as he is definitely well versed on how to care for an animal and see to all of their needs.

Patrick is very caring and gentle with my dog. Spencer us very attached and like Patrick a lot and I feel very good about leaving my dog under the care of Patrick. Patrick is very trustworthy and takes his work very seriously. I would high recommend Patrick to care for your dog.

I would like to say that I have a 200lb English Mastiff who is the love of my life. I feed a raw organic diet too him which has to be made daily. I was in need of a dog sitter as an emergency trip came up and I could never imagine putting the love of my life in a kennel. I was making calls to friends and family when I was referred to Patrick O' Donnell. I called Patrick and was greeted in a kind and professional manner. I explained my circumstances and told him about my needs for taking care of my dog and other animals {horse, mule, cats & chickens) we discussed the feeding as they all had special treats and the horses needed to be fed twice a day. I felt so comfortable after talking to him and hearing from others that had used him that I hired him not only to feed my beloved animals but to also house sit. When I arrived home all my animals were happy and my place looked better than when I left it.. My animals can be very leery of strangers and it seemed as they all had adopted Patrick.. My Mastiff was happy to see me but than he went back to Patrick laying by his side. I have never felt more at ease when I had other trips to take as the feeling of knowing all is well at home is worth more than words can say. I have moved to another state and have considered flying Patrick up to tend my place if I have to leave or go on a vacation. You will not be disappointed he is a jewel. If he is available to pet sit for you all I can say is you will be very fortunate.

I was referred to Patrick by a friend wh­o refers to him as "the dog whisperer." ­I figured if he could handle her two (2)­, what I would call "high maintenance" d­ogs, it was worth giving Patrick a try. ­ After going through several dog sitters­ without any luck in finding a responsib­le, reliable, trustworthy companion to c­are for my pooches while working the str­essful long hours as partner in a law fi­rm, and not happy with puppy juvie hall ­I'd been forced to resort sending my boy­s to, I figured I had nothing to lose. I­ knew immediately, as soon as Patrick wa­lked in to meet my best buds that I coul­d finally go to work with peace of mind ­knowing my pals where in good hands. Wit­hin the first week I noticed a calmness ­about my dogs, and I could tell Patrick ­was spending time with them because they­ didn't mail me the minute I opened the ­door as if they'd been staring at the d­oor all day just waiting for me too open­ it. Bad habits they picked up at the Ju­venile detention center for latch key pu­ps slowly dissipated. It's going on 6 mo­nths now, and I can honestly say Patrick­ has been a god send. Patrick truly love­s dogs (actually all animals) and his lo­ve shows. Last month I had to go out of ­town for business, so I had Patrick hous­e/doggie sit for me while I was away. It­ was such a delight to walk into an orde­rly, well maintained house and my dogs w­ell groomed, happy and cared for waiting­ at tge door to greet me. I thought my h­air stylist was the only person I would ­be lost without, now I've added Patrick ­the list, for me and my pups would be lo­st without him.
