Information Patricia B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has Allergies, fears, separation anxiety, likes car rides, favorite toy or routine? Likes or dislikes other dogs or cats or kids? Loves to walk or not? Has a bedtime? All the details- any meds? I want to make sure they get what is needed and less stress for them-

A typical day

Up and out then feed- out after eat usually a walk. If doggo needs to rest - fine- if they want to play ball, fetch or cuddle ! Depending on the dog size and age out average every 2 hours- out after a nap - etc… if the pup needs training on commands we can practice in 10 minute sessions and rest- Always use positive reinforcement! Pets, praise and or treats!

Pet care experience

In 40 years I’ve had boarder collie mix, Aussies, Husky, Rottweiler mix rescues and bonded pairs- puppies to seniors- have had classes at Ohio All Breed training- build trust and if training is part of requested needed service I will follow through with what family is working on too! I only do positive reinforcement- verbal praise or ball play or treats- whatever works best for the client! I have and do puppy training, leash walking training- basic sit, stay, come commands - My last bonded pair of senior rescue dogs Hoss and Juliette my goal was to give them the best REST of their lives! A husky and Rott mix- we had a good 4 years- big dogs- lived until 12 and 13❤️❤️ I’m happy now to help others with their doggies and have fun and be fun for the pets- I do some traveling so currently I do not yet have a new dog- MOST of the recent dogs I walk are Yorkie, poodle, tea cup poodles, mini labradoodle puppies and Great Dane ! A big variety of Dogs super big to super small- all these customers were word of mouth!❤️ I walk the clients and have a fenced in yard and dog run- dogs are never outside alone - I’m out with them in the yard or dog run- Any food allergies or restrictions we follow the plan!

Patsy was an amazing sitter for our boy, Thunder! He is a high-energy pup but Patsy had no problem keeping him busy and providing him with plenty of enrichment opportunities. Patsy kept us consistently updated with messages and photos throughout the week, and she left our home cleaner than she found it. She even watered our little houseplants without being asked!! Thank you SO MUCH, Patricia, we can't wait to book you for our next trip!

We already had Patsy booked for a week-long stay, and she was able to add a day onto the front-end of our vacation within a couple weeks of travelling. We loved having Patsy here with our Thunder, and can't wait to have her back!

Patricia did a fantastic job with our dog Sadie. She walked her, played with her in the backyard, and fed her. She has a great personal touch with our dog and strong communication skills with us as well. We definitely recommend Patricia to any one who needs pet care services!

Patricia is the best! She cared for my pups like her own and sent plenty of updates to let me know how they were. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
