Dedicated Dog and Exercise Lover
Pet care experience
Always happy to meet you and your furry loved one(s) and/or provide references prior to booking a stay. Energetic and responsible, I have been professionally pet sitting for over 9 years and always ensure that pets are extremely well cared for. I grew up with a household of dogs, cats, and the occasional cockatiel or hermit crab, and started caring for the furry children/siblings of friends when I was barely in 6th grade. My love for animals has only built from there! While I most often care for dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for snakes, lizards, birds, and most recently even large farm animals such as goats, horses, and cows! In addition to playing with and caring for all your wonderful pets, I am a farmer/gardener with a passion for the outdoors, so I can always provide the gentle energy and reliability your furry children need, alongside all the outdoor play they could want! Please send me a brief description of your pet(s) and their needs (exercise, medical, etc.), so I know how to best approach and care for your loved one! (Note: As of right now, I cannot offer full overnight stays, but ensure at least 1-2+ hour visits both before bed and first thing in the morning, with the option of a midday visit as well, all within the single overnight rate.)
Reviews
Patrick took amazing care of our two dogs while away on vacation and we felt very comfortable leaving them in his care. He was very communicative with us and took such loving care of them - Patrick is a true dog lover and I would highly recommend him!
I can't tell you how much I appreciated Patrick taking care of my animals. This is the frist time I have ever left them under the care of anyone else but family So I was a little nervous but during the meeting before I actually left, I got a good feeling about the situation. Patrick went above and beyond what I was expecting and I will definately be using him again
Patrick was a great sitter. We own four older dogs that can be challenging, particularly when it rains. He took good care of the dogs and the house. He sent daily updates and pictures as we requested and contacted us if he had questions or the dogs were showing any problems. Will definitely use him again.
Patrick has been our "go to" caregiver for ALL our pets for many years; caring and thorough are two words that come to mind when we think of Patrick. Sometimes we have honestly felt like our animals were disappointed when we came home from a trip because they were no longer going to get the love of their friend. We strongly recommend Patrick as your pet caregiver.

I am more than happy to care for pets of all shapes and sizes! I have extensive experience, both personal and professional, caring for dogs and cats of a wide range of breeds and temperaments. I grew up with dogs ranging from 25 to 100+lbs, as well as cats and birds, and recently worked on a farm where I cared for chickens, goats, horses/ponies, and cows (I have also worked with a range of reptiles and small mammals like chinchillas!). Please send me a brief description of your pet(s) and their needs (exercise, medical, etc.), so I know how to best approach and care for your loved one!
A typical day
I am incredibly flexible and happy to provide whatever your pet may need, from mile-long runs and dog park visits for the young or energetic to calm evenings with a lap to lay on and a relaxing brush for the easygoing or advanced in years :) I have my own car and lots of flexibility with my schedule, and I love bringing dogs hiking or for picnics in the park, and can also offer group hikes or playdates with my own friendly pup for dogs that love to socialize or are still learning how to interact with other furry friends.
