24/7 Care and Love - pet pampering
Pet care experience
I grew up in a rural area of Ohio, where I took care of animals of every shape and size. Some of my earliest memories are taking care of dogs, cats, goats, chickens and cows. I have a deep respect for animals of all sizes and types. My friends, family and coworkers can rely on me to fully take care of, understand and pamper their pets when needed! I have a 5 year old small-medium size rescue dog that is very timid and shy, but loves to have other dogs around. We think he is a poodle - Shitzu mix, but we’re unsure! We have lots of toys, dog beds, and allow all our pet guests on the furniture (of course!). We typically let our own dog and visitor pups free roam, as myself or my partner Brandon are home the majority of the day. __________
Reviews
Great service! Made my dog feel at home and sent lots of pictures. A lifesaver at the last minute!
Patricia was great! She sent us photos and kept us posted on how our girl was doing. She also took our dog out for tons of walks. Would totally use her again!
Tricia's love for animals makes her a great dog sitter. Understanding what a dogs wants and needs is the key to being a good sitter/walker. Tricia's love for dogs shows in her interactions while caring for and playing with each dog. Tricia is also very aware of safety issues and her surrounding while sitting/ walking dogs. All these qualities make Tricia the perfect dog sitter/walker in our minds!
She goes above and beyond for any animal in her care, as well as showing love and energy for whatever the needs are for that particular animal.

We live in a three-bedroom single family home that is partially fenced (no gate), private backyard. We let our own dog and dog guests access to the backyard many times a day via leash and walking, in addition to walks around the neighborhood. My own dog Benji is a 25lb ball of love. He has never shown aggressive behavior within our family, towards other dogs, cats or people, despite likely coming from an abusive background. He’s generally shy towards people but he loves to be vocal, play and snuggle with other dogs around his own size. **Your dog doesn’t have to be super outgoing! But please, absolutely no dog with prior aggression issues will be accepted.** High-energy dogs over 25lbs must have a meet and greet so that we can make sure play time will not be too rough, both with our own dog and our daughter. Your dog will have a very social experience with me, which is wonderful for many dogs, but not all. __________
Home
Information Patricia & Brandon F. would like to know about your pet
I absolutely MUST know if your pup has any issues with other dogs OR CHILDREN, specifically BABIES that might cause issues with my own dog or any other dogs I might be sitting OR CAUSE HARM TO MY CHILD. Unfortunately I cannot accommodate ANY dogs that show aggressive behavior due to space constraints and safety of my own dog and other clients, as well as safety concerns for my 1-year old daughter. Your dog must be dog friendly and socialized to the point where resource guarding and possession do not become an issue. I am especially good at helping dogs with separation anxiety and helping encourage the use of potty pads during the nighttime/any time they are unable or unwilling to go outside. I encourage you to be honest with yourself and your dog to help find a sitter that is right for you. Please feel free to message me about any questions or comments you might have before booking me. I am able to chat for free - even if our booking doesn’t work out. If your doggo has any special needs, please let me know that as well. I can accommodate many different needs and experiences, including senior dogs who need daily medication administration or constant seizure monitoring. Senior dogs are some of my favorite pups to work with. If your dog has a special diet that requires daily food preparation (via stove, oven, etc) we may discuss an additional fee of $5 per day, depending upon time/labor involved in preparation. It is absolutely something I am willing to do, though! __________ Thank you, and I hope to meet you and your dog soon!
A typical day
Dog toys are always available in our household and are rotated frequently to keep interest levels up. We also have a very fun treat-maze doggie game if your pup loves a challenge where they must flip levers to get their treat! __________

I am currently work full time remotely, which means I am home 24/7 to give snuggles and attention to our own pets and our pet guests. I also have my partner, Brandon help with pet care as we are both animal lovers. The only times we are both out of the house are when we are dropping our daughter off at daycare and picking her up. Brandon will usually take our dog with him on car rides to and from daycare, because our daughter loves being greeted by her puppy friend. If your dog likes car rides, this is something we can discuss too! __________
