Certified Trainer - Board & Comfort
Pet care experience
💚 About Me 💚 Greetings! I'm Patrick, a skilled professional dog trainer. Certified by Animal Behavior College and Starmark Academy. My invaluable experience from working at a dog daycare has equipped me with a wealth of knowledge and understanding of our beloved canine companions. 💚 My Schedule 💚 I work full-time from home, allowing me to provide undivided attention and care to your pup. 💚 My Dogs 💚 My two older dogs are well-trained and incredibly friendly. While they may not play actively with your pup due to their age (both over 11 years old), their calming presence will create a peaceful atmosphere. 💚 Doggie Room 💚 Your pup will have a dedicated guest room, complete with a comfy bed, an optional crate, a window for natural light, soothing music, and a baby gate for safety. Your dog can freely explore the space in tranquility.
Reviews
Patrick was a life saver in terms of being so flexible, and available to take our dog when we were scrambling to find someone responsible. His credentials are impressive. His responses were prompt and professional throughout my experience with him. We really appreciated the pics he sent, which showed that our baby was in good hands, and comfortable in her temporary setting. Highly recommend him.
Thank you Patrick for keeping Jada. Jada was very happy in all the pics and enjoyed her stay. Also, thank you for the short notice and quick response for our last minute travels. David and I really appreciate you. Parents if you are looking for a thorough, clean, professional, reliable, and attentive sitter, Patrick is the Man. Thanks again, James and David
Our Macy girl had an awesome time staying with Patrick and his family. The communication with him, the meeting prior to boarding and the drop off/ pick up were all pleasant experiences. Patrick is extremely qualified and has a genuine love of pitties, which made us feel even more comfortable. Macy got along great with his 2 fur babies. She loved the walks and personal attention she received. Patrick sent lots of pics during her stay and she looked more than happy and comfortable!! Definitely recommend!! Hope that we can use your service again!!
Patrick was just fantastic. Although our request was a last minute one, he really was flexible and accommodating. We highly recommend him.

💚 Meet & Greet Procudure 💚 At our place, we prioritize a meet and greet before accepting boarding requests. Here's a glimpse of our behavioral assessment process: 1️⃣ We take your dog for a short neighborhood walk to build comfort. 2️⃣ A brief 10-15 minute room test checks for separation anxiety. 3️⃣ A friendly introduction to my dogs completes the assessment. ✅ If your dog passes all three tests, we gladly accept your boarding request. ❌ In the rare event of aggression or severe separation anxiety, we regretfully cannot proceed with the boarding.
