LOVE YOUR GUYS LIKE THEY ARE MY OWN
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Our retrievers had another great stay with Pat and her pups. Benson loves playing outside and Cooper loves Pat's hugs and attention. Thank you!
Pat is amazing. She’s in tune to each individual dog in her care. Her girl Gully is so precious too. Welcoming each guest (fur and non fur alike) in their home. Pat was in communication with us and even sent pictures of our boys. Our two dogs were cared for and loved on. Pat is a true blessing - caring for our boys so we could travel with peace knowing they were in the best care. A true home away from home.
Pat is PAW-fect!! She knows dogs and loved and doted on our two retrievers for a 3-week stay during our overseas trip. Benson and Cooper love staying with Pat and her pups and we had no worries, even though this was the first time leaving our boys for so long. They had plenty of toys, play time and snuggles to keep them happy. Thank you, Pat!!
Pat took such great care of Sadie! Daily communication with pictures, a lot of playing with her dogs and another dog Sadie really enjoyed. Sadie loves attention and belly rubs and Pat gave her plenty of that. Will be booking again.

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.

Information Patricia D. would like to know about your pet
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.
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.
