Patrick's Petcare is fabulous. Our current Dogwalker, Ashley is so kind, loving and patient to our really old dog. She always gives a detailed update on how our dog did, gives her the right medicine during the visit and her treats. The whole organization is professional, efficient and thoughtful. They respond quickly to all requests, are willing to be flexible on requests and their platform for schedule is user friendly. I cannot recommend them enough.

We switched to Patrick's earlier this year because we were looking for a more professional and reliable company. We have been very satisfied with their dog walking services - we have Ashley and she is always friendly and loves our pup Stella! The management is also very responsive if you ever need anything.

We love Patrick's Pet Care! Ashley is the best and has been such a lifesaver. Our sweet Boxer, Barkley is as excited and wiggly to see Ashley, as she is when I come home in the evening - she loves her so much! Ashley's updates and stories from their walks are the highlight of my work day. When Barkley needed surgery this past year, and needed to be carried up and down the stairs and given medications every day, Ashley immediately stepped up to the plate to help because "she loved Barkley so much." Ashley carried her up and down the stairs to go outside for 8 weeks until Barkley could walk again on her own. I cannot thank Patrick's Pet Care and Ashley enough for loving our baby, as much as we do.

We could not be happier with Patrick's! We tried other services in the area, but our dog, Blue, was always scared of new walkers. I was worried we'd never find a fit for a midday break. Patrick's did a meet and greet with her, then assigned her to Josselin - our hero! Josselin is great with her, so patient, and is super friendly when she sees us too! Patrick's also make payment and scheduling super easy.

5 bones for Patrick's! I have been using Patrick's pet care for my rescue puppy Tito since I adopted him last fall. When I adopted Tito he lacked confidence around new people, other dogs, and cars and other scary street noises. Becoming part of Patrick's pack has been so important for his socialization as he has been able to develop friendships with other dogs in a safe environment and who have taught him to be a much cooler, tougher puppy. Tito's walker Alex has shown him incredible care, even going so far as to carry Tito when he was too scared to walk past construction in the neighborhood. Alex's walk updates have become the highlight of my day. He goes above and beyond to let me know what Tito and his friends got up to. I feel like my dog has a whole social life while I'm at work!

Meet the Founder

About Patrick

Patrick founded Patrick's Pet Care in March 2012 as a dog walking company in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Washington, DC. His values for operating a pet care business are based on a genuine love of animals, a commitment to do the right thing, and a personal approach to meeting the needs of all the animals and people who depend on Patrick's Pet Care. A core pillar of this philosophy is a firm belief in corporate social responsibility standards. Patrick believes all employees deserve to be paid a District of Columbia living wage, receive health insurance coverage, and paid time off in order to provide the best care to our clients. Fundamentally, Patrick aims to create thriving relationships between people and their canine companions, using science and consent based methods without fear, pain or force.

Patrick is a certified force free dog trainer, certified fear free dog groomer, and a Certified Professional Animal Care Operator (CPACO).
