NOW BOOKING SUMMER VACATIONS! I am a mom of 4 energetic boys & one spoiled golden retriever. I enjoy keeping the gang busy outside, on nature hikes & any adventures you can think of to tired them all out. I’ve been on both sides of doggie-sitting and love the convenience of sharing in the comforts of home rather than a kennel. My family loves welcoming new pets into our home—we treat them as our own. I am happy to follow all routines your pet is used to, communicate throughout the day and share pictures! I do request that we do a short meet & greet ahead of time so to make sure that all get along—must work well with kiddos. Our golden is a big baby so she will probably just lay on her back with her tail wagging. I work part-time as a substitute teacher and my husband works from home-- we're rarely gone more than a few hours a day. If your pet likes vehicles, they’ll just tag along with the crew on the few occasions we’re doing pick ups. I have over an acre of yard to play in! My golden is trained w an electric fence, but we also have a long line to keep your pet safe when we’re not out.

James seemed rested and happy when he got home and Patricia was excellent to work with, we will definitely work with her in the future!

We were nervous leaving our boy for a two week period, but he had a great time. Patricia communicated with us daily with pictures that helped our kiddos who were really missing their dog. She asked great questions and ensured this was a good fit beforehand, too. We were at ease being so far away from our boy for the first time.

Thank you for watching our girl! She came home tired and happy (and sad missing Izzy!)
