Availability
I work part-time in an office, so pet care fits naturally into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m available for early morning or evening walks and drop-in visits, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. For boarding, I’m home most of the time and able to provide lots of attention, care, and a peaceful environment. Whether it's snuggle time or playtime, your pet will be part of our daily life while they’re with me.

About Patience H.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Creating a safe and comfortable space is always my top priority, whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with lots of love, patience, and attention to their routine. At my house, small to medium-sized dogs settle in easily. It’s a calm and cozy environment, and they quickly become part of our daily rhythm with consistent feeding, playtime, and snuggles. I don’t take on too many dogs at once, so your pup gets plenty of one-on-one attention. When I’m doing drop-ins or walks, I make sure your pet feels safe and seen. I follow your instructions closely and take time to build trust, especially with nervous or shy pups. Clear communication and gentle care are always part of the experience, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

Information Patience H. would like to know about your pet
It’s really important for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. I like to understand their feeding schedule, potty routine, energy level, and what makes them feel most comfortable. Please let me know about any medications, allergies, fears (like storms or loud noises), and how they interact with other pets or people. The more I know, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I love tailoring activities to what they enjoy most! For energetic dogs, we’ll go on walks, play fetch, and get plenty of outdoor time. For more relaxed pets, I’m all about cozy cuddle time, gentle play, and keeping them calm and comfortable. I also like to include fun enrichment like puzzle toys, sniff time, and lots of positive attention. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

Pet care experience
I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler touch. I currently offer walking, drop-ins, and boarding for small to medium-sized dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and personalities, even the shy or feisty ones. I helped train our own dog, so I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. I have a calm, friendly approach that helps even the most skittish pups feel safe, and I’ve had success working with dogs who’ve been labeled as “difficult” too. I love being outside and truly enjoy walking with the dogs I care for. When boarding, we treat your pup like part of the family. They settle in quickly and feel right at home.
Reviews
Patient is a wonderful pet sitter! She sent pictures and communicated regularly! We will use her again!
She was so awesome and my dog was so comfortable with her! 😊
Patience has been wonderful! They’re always on time, keep me updated with great communication, and are very friendly. My dog is always excited to see them and comes back happy and well-exercised. I feel completely at ease knowing my pup is in such good hands!
Patience is one of the best dog person I've ever had the pleasure of working with! She is so thoughtful and caring, and my dogs fell in love with her immediately—even the grumpy one! She's communicative, so kind, and prompt. I couldn't recommend her enough!
