Reliable At-Home Pet Care

Hello, Thanks for checking my profile. To start, I'm always willing to review a request even if it's outside of my profile per se. So if you think that it's just slightly outside my parameters, please feel free to just send me a message, glad to chat at the very least. I am no longer accepting large breed dogs, with the exception of previous clients. If you think your dog is just on the cusp of a large breed, please let me know and we might be able to work something out. I am not boarding cats at this time, as I could not be sure I could isolate them from my other pets well enough if I had to. I’m the proud owner of two wonderful dogs: Indy, a 6-year-old Papillon, and Loki, a 3-year-old Corgi. Indy is a calm, observant pup, while Loki is playful and inquisitive, always eager for attention. I raised both dogs from six weeks of age and work from home full-time, so I’m always present to give pets the attention they deserve. Before Indy and Loki, I cared for two cats who each lived to 18 years old, providing them with a happy, well-loved life. During that time, I became experienced with administering insulin shots, pills, capsules, and liquid medications, and I’m attentive to the subtle behaviors and patterns that signal a pet’s needs. My home features multiple pet gates for safe separation when needed, a second floor for flexible space, and a large, fully fenced backyard with lush grass. I live in a quiet, flat, dog walk friendly neighborhood . While I’m not currently sitting cats, I’m happy to provide dogs with consistent care, attention, food, and any required medication.

Patrick was great with my dog. I received updates and pictures consistently. If I messaged him he would reply back quickly. His house and yard were very sufficient for her and his two dogs. She has a poor appetite when I’m out of town, he made sure that she had extra time to eat, and encouraged her to eat. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to others.

Patrick provided outstanding care, kept me updated with photos and messages. It was clear my Petey received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Patrick was amazing with Griffey! Griffey became friends quickly with their dogs and looked like he had a blast playing the whole week. Patrick was amazing about sending updates and pictures, and was very organized with making sure all of Griffey’s things came back with him. Griffey came home a very happy dog and even learned a new cool trick!

My dog has stayed with Patrick multiple times when I've been out of town. She has always been well cared for, and she loves playing with their dogs.

Schedule

Because I work from home, I can accommodate nearly any reasonable request. I am able to take frequent breaks and often spend that time playing with my two dogs or taking them on walks. They are let out at regular intervals and fed twice a day.

Safety, trust & environment

I can keep your pet within my view at all times while I’m home and can accommodate a crate if you prefer. During the day, my dogs usually rest at my feet or on a nearby bed until our first walk. Your pet is welcome to stay with me or lounge wherever they’re comfortable on the first floor of my home. If needed, I can separate pets by floor or with pet gates to avoid direct interactions.
