THERE'S NOTHING I'D RATHER DO!!!
Pet care experience
I know there's NOTHING that lifts one's spirits more than being greeted after a long day by dancing paws and a waggily tail. I also know that while you aren't home with your best and most loyal friend, it is reassuring to know he/she has had the best of affection, safety and doggy fun with someone who cares about him/her as deeply as you do. I am just this person! I have had dogs all my life and taken care of friends' and families' pets, too- everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes - so you can trust I know and appreciate why dogs are said to be man's best friend! I'm a 55 years old, semi-retired woman who has the luxury of spending my time doing something I love. My schedule is SUPER flexible. I've taken care of everything from elderly diabetic dogs that needed insulin administered, to fragile newly rehomed rescue dogs. I LOVE them all! I joined Rover.com in 2015 after a 30 year career in Banking and Finance. I adopted my rescue Chihuahua/Mystery breed, Lola, and started helping friends with their fur-babies at that time and loved it! I then decided to expand my services and to be available to support you and your dog in any capacity, whether that be by a simple check in and walk, or by caring for him/her a few days at a time. I’m extremely flexible regarding the scheduling and care you desire. I am happy to walk dogs who like each other and live in the same neighborhood for a discounted rate to their owners if done on a regular basis. I can do this due to the reduced transportation time and expense for me.
Reviews
Patricia is amazing! She is super bright and friendly, very punctual for both walks & responding to messages, and our dog Paco took a liking to her right away! I definitely recommend booking with her :)
Patricia doggy sat our boy Max for a day while we looked around Philadelphia. She was great, you could tell she really loved animals. Max was immediately comfortable even though he had never met Patricia. I have no hesitancy in recommending Patricia to look after your pets. Julie
Patricia took wonderful care of our dog, Lily! Now when we walk past her building, Lily pulls us to walk in so she can say hi — she loves her. I especially loved the newsy daily report cards :) we will happily leave Lily with her again.
Patricia took great care of our almost 2 year old chihuahua Poppy while we were out of the country. We came back to a happy, well cared for Poppy and our home was spotless. She even brought in packages for me. She provided lots of updates, pictures and reassurance particularly on the first day that we left because we were nervous to leave Poppy with someone new. It also takes Poppy a bit to warm up to strangers. Patricia did a great job and we will definitely use her again in the future!!!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a 1 br Condominium in a very safe neighborhood. My building has a very security conscious, pet friendly and comfortable environment. It’s located within 1/2 mile of 4 different dog parks. I have a rambunctious 4 pound Papillion, Pippin, who enjoys playing with other dogs and her toys. She would welcome a playmate.
Information Patricia B. would like to know about your pet
I prefer smaller breeds only because it's difficult for me to carry a large, heavy dog in the event of an emergency. I would appreciate knowing your expectations in terms of exercise, meals, potty habits and socialization.
A typical day
I feel guilty sometimes accepting payment for being able to pal around with these adorable, often laugh-out-loud funny 4 legged friends. I think it’s important for dogs to have both exercise and green space, if they’re physically capable. I enjoy taking them to the Independence Mall area, Magnolia Park or many of the nearby little dog parks in the area. If the area is secured by fences and it’s something that you think is safe, I would play fetch or just let them have some off-leash time to sniff around.

Dog walking is the only “work” I do. I take it very seriously as a career choice and have my own private dog walking business, as well.
