Friendly companion for your pup!
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs for a few clients I’ve known personally in MA. Now that I’ve moved to MN, I’d love to continue dog watching, walking, etc. in my meeting neighborhood! I love taking the dogs out hiking or running.
Reviews
Highly recommend! Our dog was extremely well cared for and communication was wonderful.
Patrick was awesome! He was great about sending updates and pictures and Maple had a great time:) thanks Patrick!
Patrick and his partner kept Chance well exercised and made him feel right at home. They sent frequent photos and updates on what all they were doing and any behaviors that came up. Would trust them to watch chance again in the future.
Patrick and his wife are phenomenal. Our dog wanted to stay with them when we came to pick him up. Will always be our number one choice!
About Patrick R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
If at my home, I’ll make your dog feel welcome and loved in their new space. During the work day, they can hang with me my in my home office or explore the house. I’ll keep regular tabs on them to make sure they get outside for breaks and to play on a regular basis. If at your home, I will treat it with respect as if it were my own. When caring for dogs, I make sure I understand your rules and approach for managing the dog and seek to apply those consistently. I also prioritize giving the dog playtime and exercise regularly and generally create a positive environment for the pup.
Home
Information Patrick R. would like to know about your pet
Your specific commands for things like come, sit and stay. Special behaviors that your dog uses to communicate. Clear expectations of the dog’s needs for food, exercise and bathroom breaks. Whether the dog likes car travel and if they can be taken to parks, hiking trails, etc.
A typical day
I like to run and hike, and I’m always game to bring your dog along if they would enjoy that. I love the lakes in the Twin Cities as well as the green spaces along the river. If your dog just likes taking a walk or playing ball in the yard, that’s great too.

Availability
I work remotely, so I generally have good availability during the workday as well as ability to work from your house if I am dog-sitting. I am not working on the weekends, so I’m quite free then.
