Full-Time Walker & House Sitter
Thank you for checking out my profile! I encourage you to take the time to read through what I offer and reach out if you think there is a potential fit. Additional references are available upon request. I specialize in group walks, house sitting, and private boarding throughout Seacoast NH and Southern Maine. The dogs I housesit for are encouraged to join on group walks. For dogs that don't excel in social environments, I just ask that your dog is okay being alone for up to 4 hours. I offer a social experience, 7 days a week, which includes field trips. For approved dogs, they can join me on a day or half day of group walks. Each day is unique and really lends to the dogs that love socializing. One of my goals is to build long term relationships, where individuals know they can always trust me to protect what's important to them. I plan on doing this for years to come, so I would be more than happy to take the time to start building a relationship with you and your pets. I'd look forward to chatting and finding how we might be a match!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Patrick is friendly and easy to work with. Great communication all around and will definitely be leaning on him for future walks.
Patrick was fabulous! I have a dog that specializes in shenanigans and he did wonderfully with her. Thank you, Patrick! Dogs were all happy and healthy and well- exercised.
Patrick was wonderful with our two dogs. He took time to get to know the dogs and us prior to staying with our dogs for a week by taking them for a walk and visiting or home two times. HE was excellent with communication, kept our house clean, and most importantly provided excellent care for our dogs.
Patrick is always the best!
He was great with our pups! He was a last minute call because our regular guy was off. I recommend him and will definitely be using him in the future
I can’t say enough great things about Patrick! He took care of our dog like it was his own & sent many updates. I would highly recommend him to take care of your animals. Looking forward to using his services again!

Schedule
I currently schedule walks and house sitting. Walks can be anytime between 7 am and 8 pm. Please reach out with any questions on availability, but I try my best to keep an accurate calendar. I love to help people and their pets, so I will always do my best to accommodate where my schedule allows me to. I'm passionate about the work I do and I hope you will see that after our first interactions!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Building trust with any dog is essential, as you need to be able to pick up on a dog's cues while also giving them the time and space to build a bond with you. This is something I have always been keen to. I have never been bitten by a dog, which I attribute to understanding the proper ways to act around dogs, particularly new ones. Building routines is important, as dogs thrive when they get into good, positive routines. Communication with the owners is also critical. I want the trust to go both ways and I hope to achieve that by providing a great service and communicating well.
A typical day
I run scheduled walks 7 days a week out of Dover, NH. The dogs I house sit for are always welcome and encouraged to join on the scheduled walks. For the dogs that don't do well with others, I schedule my day so your dog is never home alone for more than 4 hours. My final scheduled walk ends at 5:30 pm, so I'm typically back for the evening by 6:00.
