Reliable & Passionate Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hi! I am currently a 3rd veterinary student at Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine and have a BS in Zoology and Biology. I have experience working with a variety of domestic and wild animals. I have previously worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 6 years. I have assisted with caring for all kinds of pets and understand that they are another member of the family. I currently have 2 pets of my owner, a 13 year old cat and a 2 year old dog. In my free time I volunteer at reduced, fostering dogs and cats. I additionally enjoy training and looking at all the different behavioral cues an animal can give. I am very active and enjoy high energy activities but can also take it slow. please feel free to contact me with any questions! I cannot wait to meet your furry friend!!

Patricia was very good with my dog Max! She was also very sweet and made sure my husband and I got back form our trip ok and that Max was taken care of. I look forward to working with her again.

Patricia has great animal experience. She is experienced with dog walking, and pet care (cats, dogs, reptiles etc). She has worked for the past 3 years as a kennel caretaker and veterinary assistant while completing her undergraduate degree. She has been accepted at MSU -College of Veterinary Medicine for the fall. There is no one I would trust more with any of my pets. She relates to all types of animal personalities - if your special pet needs a daily walk, care while you are away you will not be disappointed with Patricia

I love taking dogs for walks, allowing them to sniff and take in the world around them. If they have a favorite toy or if they enjoy mental stimulation, I am able to create “games” for them. For cats, I enjoy playing with them with new toys (if they want)!

Information Patricia D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you dog has any special medications, or needs! I can accommodate easily to make sure you feel good about leaving you dog under my supervision.

A typical day

Whatever you dog enjoys doing I will be happy to provide! Training is a great way to provide mental stimulation to them, along with praising them for tricks they already know!
