Highlights
Pet care experience
Highly food-motivated human person.
My background includes veterinary nursing and exotic animal care. I've undergone many thousands of hours of feeding, befriending and caring for a dizzying variety of animals in a perplexing array of contexts including shelter care, walk-in clinics, hospitals, sanctuaries and the occasional backyard. I've done a little bit of everything, a lot of bit of some things. I'll ensure that they're as happy as possible in your absence.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
If there are specific activities they love, then we'll do them, because happy dogs are healthier dogs. Otherwise, I'll be co-existing with them and doing my best to keep them occupied. Besides religiously checking their water, I like to have a schedule in front of me to adhere to: anything time-sensitive won't be missed (ie insulin, oral medications), and will note anything to bring to your attention.
Ratings and reviews
ZoZo is a bit of a stubborn one and Patrick was able to overcome that with a bit of consistency. He’s timely, kind with ZoZo, and I think she even mostly looks forward to him coming around now - high praise!!
Patrick is so easy to work with. My dogs love him. He Leo's the house nice and clean. I can't say enough good things. He's perfect. Thanks for saving the day !
Always great
Patrick watched my 2 corgis last minute and took amazing care of my dogs and my home. I highly recommend him and will be using him in the future!
Patrick is friendly, patient, and very personable. My girl wasn’t excited about walking with a stranger but he’s managed to, through hook, crook, bribery, and patience, win her tacit agreement. I think she almost kind of likes him now! All joking aside, he’s been really great with ZoZo during a hard period of transition. We are grateful and will definitely be repeat customers.
Always takes great care of my dogs! He's a wonderful pet sitter 😁

Schedule
I recently moved to South Florida, so I have the luxury of flexibility. My schedule is generally open, so few if any conflicts will present themselves.
