Responsible and reliable pet lover!

Pet care experience

Dear pet owners, Please read in full ➡️Boarding meet and greets are hosted outdoors. ➡️We charge a fee of $20 for drop-in visits of small pets such as hamsters, ferrets, geckos, iguanas, and fish. ➡️About us: My partner and I are trustworthy and caring people who like all kinds of animals, but absolutely love dogs more than anything! We have over 20 years of experience looking after pets such as doggies of different breeds and ages, cats, turtles, fish, hamsters, and even chicks. Our grandparents used to live in the countryside, so interacting and taking care of animals has always been a big part of our lives. After our childhood dogs passed, we started to take care of friends' pets when they went on vacation or unexpected work trips. These gave us more experience looking after someone else's pets and more specifically, puppies and senior dogs. Two years ago we adopted Summer, our beautiful and spoiled dog. We know what it's like to have someone else look after your pet and how painful it can be to have to leave them behind when we go on vacation. So, rest assured that we will make sure your pet is loved and cared for while you are away. We follow a physically active lifestyle and like to spend time outdoors hiking, running, and riding our bikes. We like to involve the doggies in our lifestyle as much as possible. Thus, unless your pooch has a physical impediment, we will provide them with lots of outdoor activities. We'll also make sure your pets feel at home and will provide them with tons of fun by playing and walking them every 2-3 hours depending on their needs, energy, and age. Independently of the service you decide to book, we'll like to ask you a few questions in regards to your pet's routine and behavior. This way, we will be able to better understand your fur friends' needs and offer you a more personalized service. When boarding occurs at our place, make sure to pack their food, favorite toys, and treats! We really look forward to hearing from you and to having your pooch or kitty stay over! Have a wonderful day!

Patricia is wonderful! This was her second time taking care of our two dogs and I could not recommend her more. I know my girls are in loving, capable hands while we are away and that makes all the difference. Thanks Patricia!

I was super worried about having my dog watched by someone other than a family member, but I was comforted in leaving her after we had our first meet and greet with Patricia. I could tell they were going to hit it off by their interaction together. We were sent daily pic updates. You could tell that my dog was in loving and caring hands. It was also nice to come to a clean house! I would highly recommend Patricia to look after your pet(s)!

Patricia was amazing with my Cooper, he absolutely loved her. Patricia is attentive and her communication was impeccable. I was comfortable leaving my Cooper and my home in Patricia’s capable hands. I will definitively use Patricia and her services again. I know Cooper can’t wait to see his new friend again soon. 💙

Information Patricia B. would like to know about your pet

We would like to know how well your doggy gets with people and other doggies. If he/she has any allergies. What are those things you won't allow your doggy to do at your home?

A typical day

We will go on walks around nearby parks. You can find pictures of these places on my profile's pictures ;) My partner and I will make sure your furry son/daughter feels like home. In order to achieve that, we'll to do their favorite activities. Fetching, visiting off-leash fenced parks near by (if your doggy is into that ;), teaching them tricks, watching some Netflix, cuddles and snuggles, and obviously getting tricks will be some of the fun activities we'll provide to them.
