Patrick was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Red Baron, while we were away for an extended visit out of the country over the Christmas holiday. Red is a Wheaten Terrier with a big personality. He is very lovable, charming, sweet and smart, but can also be a little stubborn, a bit anxious, and is fully convinced he’s part human and a lap dog even at 38 lbs🤪 Patrick really seems to understand and love dogs especially Wheaton's and it really showed in how naturally he managed Red. What we loved most was Patrick’s personality. He has a good sense of humor, seemed to easily roll with the punches and never made anything feel intense or overmanaged. He even seemed to "get" Red’s mischievous side right away and handle any of his rule-bending moments with a calm consistency. We appreciated the fun, lighthearted updates and photos Patrick sent throughout our time away and really showed just how relaxed and comfortable Red was. It also made us feel like he was with someone who genuinely enjoyed him. Patrick followed all our guidelines. He also went above and beyond by helping with grooming and calming routines, taking great care of our home, and even handling deliveries and furniture pieces that arrived after we’d already left for our trip. We came home to a happy, settled dog and a house that looked great. Patrick is reliable, easygoing, and thoughtful. We’d absolutely recommend him and would trust him again without hesitation.

Pat is a true lover of dogs and has a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. He is able to easily connect and build relationships to dogs and other animals. He is intuitive and seems to pick up on possible problems with dogs and will relay concerns to owners. He is in excellent physical shape and has the strength and endurance to handle even the largest dogs. He has a genuine love for animals and this shows in his happy demeanor and facial expressions when with dogs and other animals. He is trustworthy and has always stuck to a regular schedule of walking dogs for me. He will do a great job as a dog walker for any breed of dog.
