Retired Woman w/Time For Your Pets
Pet care experience
Owners have come home to happy pets and clean houses when I stay overnight at their homes. (I do not currently board.) Being retired, I have the time to stay at your home while you're away and you'll know everything is secure. Your pets will be happy with walks and play. Also, being retired I am older, so I must limit pets to either older or well trained, as lively animals can be dangerous to my health. If walking is required, dog must be well behaved without pulling or lunging. I can be in as much contact as you wish with texts and photos. Without having my own to love, I thrive on others' lovable pets, so I treat them as I would my own. Besides having pets to love, my goal includes going on occasional excursions for new scenery, new people and new areas to explore.
Reviews
Pat is very reliable and conscientious. She understands and loves cats, and will make sure your cat is cuddled and fed in your absence. I can give her the highest 5 star ranking.
Pat was a wonderful sitter for our kitty! She was just great with her and fulfilled all special requests and sent me messages and pictures daily to put me at ease. I will definitely be hiring Pat again for whenever we are out of town in the future.
I really appreciate that Pat was available for a last -minute booking. She let me know she had been there and the cats loved her!
I was visiting Yosemite but needed a dog sitter for the day for my three pups because I knew I would be gone all day. I had booked a place in Fish Camp that would let me bring my dogs but I really shouldn’t leave them alone all day. Rover to the rescue. Pat was great! Since she comes to the location it worked better than me trying to board my dogs with someone else where I would either have to have them stay over night and/or drive at least an hour each way which is a whole other problem. Pat was super flexible seeing that I didn’t have a set time yet, and then with a change the night before as plans got more cemented with my brother, she was at the house bright and early at 7am. Being in Yosemite, service is spotty but while I was on my hike up the Upper Yosemite Falls trail I was getting up dates which was great. My dad ended up driving back to the rental early so he met up with Pat instead for her to go home. I was able to contact Pat with the last minute change and it was easy. I would definitely use her again when I’m in town with the pups. Just wished she was closer to home so that I use her services again when it’s needed. Thanks again Pat!
About Patricia B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I rise when pets require attention, such as doggies needing to go outside, breakfast. I try to stick to the pets' regular routines with outside visits and meals and in between there is always time to play.
Information Patricia B. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences, but I prefer calm or older dogs. Young, rambunctious ones are outside my energy boundary. I can give lots of attention and I prefer they not be too demanding.
A typical day
I will travel longer distances for overnight house sitting and pet care. Drop-in visits and walking only can be done closer to home. I love to take care of pets in their homes who live nearby. Also, I live near Yosemite National Park along the Hwy 140 corridor. While you are enjoying the park for the day, I will take care of your pet(s) at your hotel in or near Mariposa. I will take dog(s) for regular walks, feed your pet(s) and/or stay with them for the day/evening so they won't be alone. Play is a must!
Services
Patricia can watch in your home
Availability
Being retired, I'm free to book overnights with you for weeks at a time. Early bird gets the worm, as summers get mighty busy! Even if I'm away at a job I can do drop-in visits in the local area.
