Availability
Since I work at a school, my summer vacation allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I am available for overnight stay and house sitting. Your specific needs are important to me, I'm happy to accommodate for my clients. My schedule allows me to drop-in on your pets during the day and I will send you a text before I stop by.

About Patricia A.

Safety, trust & environment
I will check any gate or fence before letting your dog out into the yard. Before leaving, I typically do a walk through of the area to check for food that has been left out on the counter. For homes with cats, I make sure I see they’re all present and not trapped in a closet or in a room with a closed door. I secure all doors, gates, windows, and crates as needed. I like to leave the place in the same condition (or better) than how I found it. I also refresh or top off their water bowls before I leave.
Information Patricia A. would like to know about your pet
What tendencies do your pets have? What special routine do they require at feeding time or potty time? What special/ specific commands or behaviors would you like your dog to practice with me? Do they have separation anxiety and do I need to keep an eye on them so that they don't get into things they're not supposed to? Do they have a favorite toy or bed? Do they have prescribed medicine?
A typical day
When house sitting, I will maintain the established routine that you have with your pet(s) and spend time with them - we can throw a ball around or be couch potatoes together. I typically bring my own things like food to eat and things to entertain myself like books and my laptop/ iPad. I'm happy to water your plants or garden as well as keep an eye out for your packaged deliveries while you're away. Free refills of snuggling and affection is included. It's all about your pet even if all they need is someone to keep them company while you're not home, call me!

Pet care experience
When I'm not dog sitting, I am a Speech Therapy Assistant at a local school district. Caring for animals my whole life has been a foundation for me to develop responsibility, patience, compassion, skilled observation, and proficient communication. My family and I have loved all kinds of dogs and pets over the years including birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and turtles. I've loved 2 boxers of my own and now only have 2 cats. Our pets truly are like family members; so they need quality care and affection! I hope to build trust and respectful relationships with the people and pets that come into my life. I’m flexible and ready to help when needed, so give me a call or message me if you have any questions.

Reviews
We’ve had Trish house/pet sit for us a few times now and she is the best. We have a dog with heart disease and he needs various meds throughout the day, and Trish makes sure to he gets his doses on time. She’s also communicative and we know the dogs are in good hands when she is here for us!
Trish was great and the dogs seemed to have enjoyed her company. She stayed in touch with me through the weekend, which was reassuring given that we have a special needs dog that requires heart meds throughout the day. We appreciated her attentiveness and communication.
Patricia did an amazing job sitting for my dog and cat! She was
Patricia did a fantastic job at taking care of my two dogs and house sitting Rocky & Apollo. I had peace of mind my entire trip. She sent me pictures on a daily basis and updates on my boy’s behavior and daily routine. I came home to a super clean and organized home and my boys were of course very happy. I am very grateful to have found Patricia on Rover. I will use again her services. Thank you ?
