Safety, trust & environment

I am willing to give whatever care is needed to your loving four-legged family members. We had a very high-maintenance cat who I gave medicine to twice daily for years. On top of that, I have experience working with larger animals as well. I have regularly cared for Dobermans, Akitas, Mastiffs, German Shepherds - to name a few!

Information Patrick R. would like to know about your pet

I’m flexible enough to work with all temperaments & ailments, but I would appreciate knowing details beforehand. If your pet requires medication, special food preparation, or anything else unique, please let me know!

A typical day

I like to individualize to your pet’s likes & needs! Basic games like fetch, playing with toys, taking them for a walk or fun at a local park!

Could not have asked for more from Patrick! He was extremely easy to work with and did a fantastic job watching my dog Koda for 8 nights. He sent frequent updates with pictures, videos and even went above and beyond to give Koda a bath. He was very responsive and made me feel so at ease. I will definitely book with him again!

Patrick was amazing. I recently had surgery and was unable to walk my dog (pretty much my child) and Patrick was not only communicative, he was kind and helpful. My dog was always excited to see him. Thanks again Patrick!! I appreciate your help.

Patrick is a wonderful person sitter! From first communication, he was prompt in his response(s) and attentive to our family’s pet’s individual needs. He recommended a meet and greet to make future visits comfortable for our pets - and us! He sent detailed visit cards and photos for every visit, and it was clear that our German Shepherds were well-cared for in our absence. We highly recommend Patrick as an experienced, caring pet sitter!
