Highlights
Pet care experience
LOVE YOUR GUYS LIKE THEY ARE MY OWN
I have taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I have a dog that loves other dogs and is very in tune with the needs of other dogs. I can care for dogs recovering from injuries or surgeries. We have always participated in pet rescue and find every animal is lovable and special. I am home all day and have a big grassy yard that we can play in. We throw the ball a lot and have other outdoor toys and some water toys if that's your dog's thing. I am retired so I spend all day catering to the needs of my dog and other animals in my care. I have a safe fenced yard with all grass and a small amount of concrete. Awning for shade and very sensitive to the needs of the dogs related to heat and play. My dog is very dog friendly and plays well with all other dogs. My house is very open and dog friendly. We pay attention to house play and attention to hips for larger dogs. We have a large orthopedic bed. Dogs are allowed on the furniture if you don't mind and they are allowed to sleep in the bed if you don't mind. Your wishes will be observed.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My pup is always glad to see Pat.
My dog Tilly loves going to Ms. Patricia's house for doggy daycare! She's loved and very well taken care of when she is there.
Billy had the most wonderful time staying with Patricia! She took such excellent care of him and he will miss her and her dogs. Billy gives his stay a five star review- he will definitely be back soon!
We feel very comfortable with our 5-month old border collie, Luffy, being cared for by Patricia. Patricia seems to really care about her charges and sends us pictures and updates about how Luffy is doing. She has a very nice big back yard where Luffy can run and play. Luffy absolutely LOVES Patricia. We can highly recommend Patricia without any reservations.
My pups love going to Patricia’s house! They’re always happy and well cared for, thank you so much!
My dog has stayed with Patricia a couple of times now and she takes great care of her.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My yard is fenced and safe. We patrol and take care of fire ants and any other stinging insects as needed. The yard is cleaned daily and the poo patrol is a daily event. My house is dog proofed and anything harmful kept up high or behind locked doors. A large orthopedic bed is provided if you dog likes to sleep there. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and in the bed (as long as the owner agrees) I try very hard to make dogs as comfortable as possible so that the trauma of being left is minimized. They need to be very happy to see you when you come back but feel safe and loved while you are gone.
Pets
A typical day
We have a large grassy yard with shade and an awning over the patio. There are many toys especially for the outdoors and we play ball a lot. My dog initiates tug games and loves the water. I have a small pool designed for dogs that like to play or lay in the water and we use a splash pad when its hot. Walks are taken in my safe neighborhood. We live on a dead end street. Walks are taken in accordance with the desires of the owners.

- I do like to know about special needs for you dog. I have experience taking care of special needs pets. My dog is large and is very sensitive to small animals and animals with special needs. She is gentle and welcoming and participates in care. If your dog takes medication, I like to have a written schedule and will follow it carefully. I have a very special pill pocket that the dogs never refuse if you dog takes a pill.
