Pet care experience

Home Full Time - Fenced Yard

I love small dogs and can provide love and special care for your pets. I have chihuahuas and am familiar with their special personalities. I am able to provide individualized care for the little ones who cannot tolerate regular boarding. They can sit on laps, snuggle, play, and feel at home with us. I am happy to give them prescribed medications and will work to accommodate special needs and requests. I have a pet friendly home and your dogs will be part of my family while they are here. Your dogs can enjoy healthy dog food or you can supply their food and treats if you prefer. I will work hard to provide your dog with what they need to be happy while away from you.

My fellas just love Patience. She is so kind and loving to them. I never feel guilty when I go on holiday as I know that they will have a great time with her

We couldn’t have been happier having found Patience! She and her husband showered our little man, Wynston with love and attention while we were away for 20 days…she posted photos, sent little notes and kept us in the loop…he had such a great time! We will definitely use her services in the future! Thank you for giving us peace of mind!!!

Fritz Magoo was so happy during his stay with Patience! There is truly no blessing greater than peace of mind when you're away from the fur babies, plus the regular updates, thoughtful questions, and adorable photos were the icing on the cake. Fritz will be back, and I highly recommend Patience!

Patience was an absolute gem! First time using a sitter (besides my sissy) and she made it easy peasy. She sent me updates and photos which I valued a lot. I don't go on getaways often but when I do I will definitely use Patience.

Patience obviously loves dogs and it is quickly obvious that the dogs love her right back. My babies felt right at home right away and set off to play without a care in the world. She will definitely be my go-to for any and all trips I might take. Thank you again, Patience!

I don’t work outside my home so I’m with the doggies almost all the time during their stay. I will try to make their visit as pleasant as possible for them.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard and doggie door for safe and fun outside time. Our visiting dogs are closely monitored during outside and indoor time. I try to duplicate their regular routine to make things familiar for them.

Pets

A typical day

I’m happy to provide activities that your dog enjoys and is used to. Walks, group play, and canine cuddle time are some favorites. Your dogs are treated like part of our family.

Patience can host up to 2 pets per night
I’d like to know their normal schedule, their sleeping preferences, and if they have any problems that I need to look out for. I prefer chihuahuas, Yorkies, poms, pugs, or other small dogs. I can also take care of puppies. I have some experience with Chinese Cresteds and enjoy them too.
