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, or if my schedule looks full, please don't hesitate to reach out as well, there are times where additional accommodations can be made, especially if you don't mind your pets boarding at the same time as others. Meet and greet 100% welcome 7 days a week. 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’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. My home features multiple pet gates for safe separation when needed, a second floor for flexible space, and a large, fully fenced backyard with grass. I live in a quiet, flat, dog walk friendly neighborhood, which I am also glad to do. Thank you for reading and if you want to sit with me, please don't hesitate to reach out and I may be able to work something out of things don't seem align 100% at first check.

Patrick was amazing. He updated us with daily notes and photos. He made our trip so much enjoyable knowing our dog was safe and loved. We definitely will use his care again in the future.

Since Lucy's big brother recently passed I was worried about leaving her alone to go on a trip that was planned well in advance. Patrick was amazing. He was very understanding an reassuring. I was able to leave my little girl and enjoy my trip without worrying about her the whole time. Patrick and Jessica will ALWAYS be our first choice for Lucy's "home away from home".

Patrick and his wife, Jessica are great sitters!!! My Lucy had a wonderful time with them. I recently moved to Richland and was a bit worried about not knowing anyone in the area who could look after my Lucy. But when I met Patrick and his wife, I knew Lucy was in the best hands—and I was right. Their home is lovely and spacious, and Lucy ran around happily and played frisbee. I recommend Patrick 100%.

Patrick was absolutely great. He kept me up to date on Dobby, sent me pictures and took very good care of Dobby. I would recommend Patrick.

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.

Love playing with my two dogs throughout the day including treat time, tricks and a walk around the block weather permitting. Your pets would be absolutely welcome to join in.
