Trusted Pet Care You Can Count On

I have hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra attention. I’m comfortable administering insulin and other medications, and I always keep a close eye on each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or gentle companionship, I make sure your dog feels loved, safe, and cared for at every stage of life.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I closely follow your pet’s routine to maintain consistency and minimize stress, from feeding schedules to exercise and medication. On walks, I use secure leashes and stay alert to my surroundings to ensure their safety. I treat every pet as if they were my own—earning their trust and making sure they always feel safe, loved, and cared for.

Patrick is wonderful! Our dogs are always excited to see him, he respects our home and space, and takes great care of our fur-babies! We love all of the updates he sends of our dogs as well, keeping us in the loop with how things are going. We appreciate him!

Patrick arrived early!!! He’s a Dog Whisperer beyond compare! Our fussy rescue girl fell totally in love with him within the first hour! He’s great! So great I almost didn’t write a review—- to keep his great talents a secret.

Patrick watched my cat while I was out of town on vacation and I had complete peace of mind that Archie was in good hands. Patrick sent me photos and updates while I was gone, and followed all the instructions I left for him! He was friendly, reliable and trustworthy and I will definitely be going to him for pet sitting needs in the future!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and can easily adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. This means regular walks, feeding times that stay consistent, and plenty of company and attention. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I make sure your pet’s routine is cared for just like it would be if you were home. For some clients, I will work from their home, and others I will just drop in as needed (depending on service requested)

I like to know as much as possible about your pet ahead of time so I can give them the best care. Please share details about their daily routine, favorite activities, and any special needs like medications, allergies, or health concerns. It’s also helpful to know how they do on walks, around other dogs, and with new people. The more I know, the more I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved.
