Highlights
Pet care experience
Paws, Feathers, Scales and Fins!
With over 15 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to every pet I meet. From cats and dogs to small mammals, birds, reptiles and even aquatic friends, I understand the unique needs and personalities of different species, ensuring they receive the specialized care and attention they deserve. Until recently, I worked with a local animal rescue and it provided me with invaluable experience in animal welfare and behavior. I have honed my skills in feeding, administering medications, handling, and creating environments that promote comfort and well-being. Whether it's recognizing subtle signs of illness, engaging pets in stimulating activities, or simply offering companionship, I strive to make every animal feel safe and loved. Caring for animals is more than a job to me—it's a lifelong commitment and passion. I excel at maintaining routines, reducing stress, and providing affection tailored to each pet's personality. Whether your furry, feathered, or finned companion needs playtime, a soothing presence, or diligent care while you're away, I am dedicated to ensuring their happiness and health. Let me bring my extensive experience and genuine love for animals to your home, offering peace of mind that your beloved pets are in compassionate and capable hands.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Although I’m unable to host pets in my home, I’m more than happy to travel to yours! Pets often cope better with their human’s absence when they stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own environment with regular routines. That being said, if you want me to stay with them overnight or if you want me to just drop in and check on them, I'm flexible!
Ratings and reviews
We had a Rover booking cancel last minute before a big trip and Patrick's prompt communication and responsiveness was a total lifesaver. Patrick went above and beyond to meet Maci's needs and challenges in her old age. We would book him again in a heartbeat.
Patrick is amazing!!! Very patient with my fur babies and goes above and beyond. Left the home better than what I left it and the boys were well taken care of.
Patrick was wonderful with our Lottie. Very communicative. It wasn’t an easy sit with our very shy/scared dog but I knew she was in good hands. Would definitely use him again.
Patrick was wonderful taking care of our dog and our home. He was patient and kind allowing our dog to warm up to him. He kept the house spotless and even made up the guest bed with clean sheets upon his departure. We felt confident that our home and dog were well taken care of!
Patrick was a great sitter! Very flexible for our situation and our dog's needs. Great communication all around. Our dog can be stubborn, but Patrick was very accommodating to this and made sure our dog's needs were met. I highly recommend Patrick and will be requesting future bookings!
Another great stay!
