Patrick is a rare gem. I feel grateful to have found him and recommend him and his services wholeheartedly! From the moment he arrived at my home for the meet and greet with my cats (and knocked rather than rang the bell), I knew that I was dealing with someone who was uniquely attuned to the needs of animals. The time that he took to understand all of the details of my cats' routines and likes and dislikes was unprecedented in my 25 years as a pet owner. In preparing for his first sit, he was not only responsive but also proactive in his consideration of my cats' needs. No feeding regimen (no matter how specific) was too complex, which I found confidence-inspiring. During his first sit, Patrick shared daily updates and videos and didn't simply feed and care for the cats, but also gave them affection, training sessions and toys, which I deeply appreciated. When I returned home after two weeks, my cats were calm, confident, nurtured and enriched by his visits. And my home was clean and well organized around their needs. If you are looking for an EXCEPTIONAL pet sitter with a great heart, a sharp mind and strong attention to detail, look no further.
