About: With over six and a half years of hands-on pet care, I bring a rare blend of experience, attentiveness, and heart. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing gentle, attentive care. What truly sets me apart is my ability to read and respond to animals’ unique personalities. I create a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s administering medication, offering leash training for puppies, or providing low-stress companionship for older pets, I bring patience and skill to every interaction. I also have experience caring for a diverse range of animals beyond just dogs and cats. From chickens and birds to hamsters and other small pets, I understand that every species has its own rhythm, needs, and comfort cues. I’m confident and compassionate with unique, exotic, or less-common animals, always prioritizing their safety, emotional well-being, and daily routines. Pet care is a built-in part of my weekly life. I’m highly flexible and genuinely enjoy working around each pet’s needs and schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or even late nights, I’m available and committed to making your pet’s care seamless and stress-free. I’m also happy to accommodate weekend bookings and unique timing requests whenever possible—just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. Reliability, consistency, and clear communication are at the heart of everything I do. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walking routes, medication routines, and preferred playtime activities—so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the space stays tidy and respected while I’m there. If I’m hosting pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming space. I separate animals as needed, keep food and water fresh and clean, and ensure they have access to cozy rest areas and supervised play. I never leave pets unattended, and I’m mindful of their comfort, especially in a new setting. In both cases, I focus on creating a low-stress, high-trust atmosphere, and I keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and honest communication throughout the stay.

“Dory loves going to Patti’s and we feel so comfortable and relieved know that when she is there, she will be taken care of so well and have a fun time.”


11. Claudia T.

“Claudia was absolutely fantastic! She sent frequent updates with pictures and was super caring. I could tell that she has a true passion for animals when I first met her. Everything worked out so easily that I had no cares leaving my dog behind. I will be using her again for sure. Thanks Claudia!!!!”


12. Nikkita J.
“This is Sphinx 2nd time staying with Nikkita and he ran in the house as if it was home. Communication was excellent during his stay and she was able to accommodate dropping him off at the last minute since we were unable to pick him up. Our previous sitter moved from the area so we are grateful to have found her and our dog seems to love his stays!”


13. Caitlin M.


“We have used Caitlin twice now when we've been out of town and left our dog Stella with her. We felt comfortable knowing Stella was well taken care of and had a fun time with Caitlin. Caitlin is very kind and sent pictures daily, we will definitely use Caitlin again in the future and would highly recommend her!”


14. Courtney H.

“Courtney was awesome from start to finish! My dog was legitimately excited to be there and she kept me in the loop with pictures throughout his stay! It felt safe and comfortable and he came home absolutely exhausted the next day! I will definitely book with her again in the future!”




15. Olivia R.


“Olivia was amazing, sending pictures of my Stormy and loving her as if she was her own. I love that my pup continues to get socialized in a home environment while I’m away. I have all faith that Olivia puts any pups needs above everything. Thank you for caring for my baby so well”


16. Beth B.

“We send Raffi to Beth’s for Winter Camp. Raffi loved it there, he found a twin sister, got tons of love, treats and fun. Raffi is a loving dog, but sometimes a drama king when he wants attention. He got all the attention and affection he wanted during Winter Camp. Beth was great, very communicative and she sent us pictures, messages and videos every day, which we highly appreciated. Thank you for everything, Beth!”


17. Andres D.


“Andres took great care of Callie while we were away on Vacation. Kept me informed with updates and photos while we were away. Already have him booked to watch her again when we travel in two weeks. Highly recommended!!”


18. Jenny M.

“It was lovely to meet Jenny. She greeted my dog Seven with open arms and cared for him while I was away. I absolutely suggest her, and she will see my dog again.”


19. Carly B.

“Carly is amazing, we have boarded Pluto twice at her place, and it's been such a great experience. Carly and her husband made an extra effort to meet Pluto and patiently listened to all the details related to him. Since Pluto is a slightly anxious dog, we were looking for someone who understands his requirements and thats where Carly has been fantastic. I got regular updates and could see Pluto was really comfortable at her place. Any pet parents reading this should not think twice before booking with her. :)”


20. Kari & Jospeh M.

“I’m thankful for Kari & Jospeh’s family for loving and caring my baby like their own, it was stress free time during his stay we’re I don’t have to worry about how he is doing since he is in great hands. My boy would love to come back again,”
