Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet Doter
I started a dog care business 30 years ago in the 4th grade, taking care of dogs in my neighborhood. My work involved simple feeding, walking, and companionship when their owners were out of town. I grew up always having a dog (or several), and cats in the house, and have always felt a natural bond with animals. Over the years, almost everywhere that I have lived has been shared with pets, and regardless of whether they were mine or my roommates', I have always looked at them as if they were my own. I don't currently have any pets, but since I care for many of my friends' fur babies on a regular basis, I believe caring for pets through Rover would be a natural fit and easy next step for me. I also don't mind doing other little things too, like house chores, grabbing pet food or groceries from the store, or making use of my time in whatever else might help you or your family out.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to travel to clients' homes for any care that they request or may require. I truly enjoy spending time with, and taking walks with dogs. So consequently, if you don't want your animals being pet a lot and hugged nonstop, then I might not be the person for you. I have plenty of references as well, if you would like to contact and get an idea of the type of person I am. Thank you for taking the time to read through my profile and learn a little bit about me. I am excited to hopefully start building a friendship with you and your animals!
Ratings and reviews
Patrick was great and both our dogs love hanging with him.
It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and I was very nervous. Luckily Patrick was the perfect man for the job! He kept me updated with how my pup was doing, sent me videos of photos of her regularly, and really put my mind at ease! When I came back, she seemed relaxed and very happy! Will definitely be booking with Patrick again in the future
Patrick did an excellent job. He was very patient. Taffy is a very shy, senior girl, and he was very knowledgeable on how to take care of her with her skittish personality, I highly recommend Patrick and will definitely use him again.
Patrick was great! Sent us videos of our dog while we were away and it was very sweet. Thanks Patrick!
Patrick did a great job watching our three dogs and cat! He was very attentive to both our senior dog, and our rescue dog’s needs. We enjoyed the daily photos and videos (:
Thanks for taking such great care of Maya. She was a happy pup when we got home. Appreciate keeping our house in order too. And loved the daily update videos of Maya. Maya will be ready to hang again soon! Thanks

Schedule
I have some extra free time on my hands during the days, and I'd like to start filling that up with some more meaningful animal interactions! I might have a few errands to run, but usually am open throughout the day, and can make visits as late as needed (Mon-Sun). I am just starting Rover, and will not be looking to focus on boarding at this time, however, I am not opposed to it, and would be open to discussing this possibility.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsPatrick can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
- Any individual needs would most certainly be addressed to ensure your pet doesn't skip a beat, and will be treated exactly how you would take care of them yourself. Let me know if there are any specific needs your animal requires, and I will be happy to accommodate!
