Highlights
Pet care experience
Rescue specialist, work from home
What sets me apart is not just the practical reasons, like having an adult only household or having rescue dog experience or working from home. I love dogs and treat them all as my own. The good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly. I believe dogs are the best. Whenever the dogs I take care of leave, they take a piece of them with me. Quiet adult only home. I work from home so I can guarantee that your fur baby will have company. I do have a resident dog (former rescue!) in my home, but she is very low maintenance. That means your dog will get my (almost!) undivided attention. I will be separating my dog because she needs slow introductions. If there is a continuous relationship where she may see your dog multiple times, I will slowly introduce them. Otherwise, my home may not be the best fit for your pet. I have lots of experience with taking care of dogs of all backgrounds from fostering and dog-sitting, including puppies. I'm very in tune with the needs of dogs. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, from 10 pounds to 70 pounds. I love sending pictures and videos throughout the day (although I am not a professional photographer!) to give the owners updates. As I am working and have other commitments, you can expect 2 updates per day. That is my guarantee. I can typically respond if you ask for ad-hoc updates. I am very communicative, which my reviews attest to! Note that for doggie day care, it will be during the hours of 7am to 7pm. Any hours beyond this range can still be accommodated for but my boarding cost may apply instead. Feel free to discuss with me!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Patricia is super professional and great with my dogs! She keeps me updated on everything throughout the day. Would highly recommend.
We left our dog with Patricia for a few days and she was wonderful with him. Took great care of him throughout the whole time and really made us feel comfortable that he was there and he was having a good time. Her communication is impeccable. Highly recommended.
We had a great experience with Patricia! She was happy to do a meet and greet before we committed to booking, which we really appreciated. She took the time to learn about our dog, including her feeding, temperament, routines, and what usually works best for us, which was especially important with our 4-month-old puppy as we are still establishing routines. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, videos, and messages through the Rover app throughout the day. It made us feel reassured and comfortable leaving our young puppy. Patricia was also very understanding of our dog’s temperament and her need for lots of attention and to stay close to people. Overall, we were very happy with Patricia and would definitely use her again!
Patricia was great with Gabby! It was Gabby’s first time with her, and I really appreciated how attentive she was and the extra care she took to make Gabby feel comfortable. I felt very confident leaving her in Patricia’s care and would happily have her look after Gabby again.
Always a pleasure!!
Was great with communication and my dog had a great time!

Schedule
I am currently working from home, so I will have lots of time for your furry children. I have a fenced backyard and would be able to take the dogs out for potty breaks during the day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and my own dog of 5 years. I also am used to loss dog prevention protocols from fostering dogs. I have doggie gates in my house to separate dogs if needed, and can put my dog in another part of the household or crate her.
Pets
A typical day
I can let your dog out to the backyard during lunch breaks. I love taking some breaks from work to play with or pet your dog. I love taking my own dog and dogs I take care of on walks so they get ample sniffing enrichment.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsNo females in heatPatricia can host up to 1 pet per night
- I want to know what your dog is like. If they have any quirks about them. It makes it so I can tailor my care of them. I prefer upfront communication so I know the best way to make sure your dog thrives! I want full transparency to set your dog up for success.
