Beloved Pets Make a House a Home
I can’t remember a time in my life that I didn’t have a dog (or two). Big dogs, little dogs and in between. Now that I am retired, I devote most of my time to caring for my two “baby girls”. Daisy & Bella are litter sisters although they don’t look a like. They are Teddy Bear/Schicons (1/2 Bichon Frise and 1/2 Shih Tzu). They are inseparable, looking out for each other or wrestling together, where there’s one there is the other. They do play well with others. My sister’s little girl is a Shih Tzu and she is an only child, we laugh and call her the Princess. I sit for her for a week or long weekends when my sister visits her daughter out of town. She also comes over for play dates. They all respect each other’s boundaries and the Princess has learned to play with “the Court Jesters”. My dogs and visitors are allowed on furniture and beds. My yard is not fenced, but I do have a radio frequency collar system that I can use or walk on leash per owner’s preference. I live a long way from the road so it is safe. We go on golf cart rides around the property in the afternoon, my girls look forward to it.

Ratings and reviews
We left our two fur babies with Pat this last weekend. She kept us informed how they were doing, while we were gone and even sent the cutest pictures of them! Just what mama needed to hear!! Pat is so sweet and kind. The minute we met her, we knew we wouldn’t be disappointed ~ you won’t be, either! Thank you, “Mimi” Pat!! 🩷
Pat did a great job. Our dog was happy when we picked him up.
Pat was fantastic with our little guy. We got quick updates, and we could tell he was very loved while we were out on our trip. When we returned, he looked totally at home with her 2 dogs and was very happy just hanging out - no stress at all! We'll definitely be using her again in the future.
Pat took amazing care of our 2 dogs! She took the time to make them comfortable in her home, sent us pictures and updates throughout the week, and gave them plenty of love and attention!
We LOVE Pat! She took such wonderful care of our baby, Linnie. From the very first time I met her, I instantly knew she was the perfect fit. Pat has such a warm, loving, and cozy energy — both she and her home made us feel completely comfortable leaving Linnie in her care. She sent pictures, videos, and regular updates throughout Linnie's stay, which meant so much to us. We will absolutely be using Pat again for any future needs!
Pat is so sweet and friendly! My dog Molly has stayed with her several times and it has been a tranquil stay for Molly. Pat has a great outdoor area for the dogs to play and enjoy themselves. If you want photos and updates just reach out and she will send you a few. If you prefer a cadence or daily photos, I would recommend just letting Pat know in advance. Molly will be staying with Pat over Christmas and I know she will be in great hands!

Schedule
I am retired, so unless I have a doctor appointment or go grocery shopping, I am home 100% of the time. I do go to church on Sunday morning. My girls have the run of our home but I can use a crate if owner desires.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will treat your fur baby like I do my own. They are my #1 priority, always. They have a feeding schedule twice daily with a few treats throughout the day. They get lots of love and snuggles to their satisfaction. I encourage them to play with toys inside interacting with each other and myself. They will get plenty of exercise indoors and outdoors. I refreshed their water several times daily.
Pets
A typical day
Mornings usually start with a lot of cuddles and belly rubs before getting out of bed. Then it is potty time outside. After breakfast, it is rest time. Then playtime inside. We go for walks around the house to water my garden and.check the plants. In the afternoon, we usually take a ride on the golf cart.
