Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well-loved in my care. In a client’s home, I respect the space, keep things tidy, and ensure pets have everything they need while maintaining their usual routine. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with lots of attention, enrichment, and affection. I’m also pet first aid certified and observant of any behavior changes, so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Information Patricia F. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know everything that helps me give your pet the best care possible! Please share any important routines, medical needs, allergies, behavioral quirks, or training cues you'd like me to use. It’s also helpful to know how your pet interacts with other animals, how they do on walks, and what helps them feel safe and happy. The more I know, the more I can tailor my care to make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and engaged through both physical and mental stimulation. With dogs, that means daily walks filled with sniff breaks, exploring nearby parks, playing fetch or tug-of-war, and learning fun tricks or commands (if allowed). For indoor time, I like using puzzle toys, gentle play, and lots of affection to keep them content. If I’m caring for a cat, I make time for play with toys, cozy cuddle spots, and enrichment that suits their personality. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved, entertained, and well cared for.

A dog and cat's best friend

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with a deep interest in holistic pet health and behavior. I’m certified in pet first aid and have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Remy, since he was just 6 weeks old—he’s truly like a son to me. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to meet dogs' and cats' emotional, physical, and nutritional needs. I also adore and enjoy caring for pets of all kinds. I understand that every pet and owner has unique preferences and routines. I take pride in offering thoughtful, tailored care to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-attended. I work from home and have a reliable car, so I’m flexible and available for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. Feel free to reach out with your needs—I’d be happy to help care for your furry family member!

Patricia does not have the best communication and I'm not sure if it was just a one time thing but she arrived an hour late and instead of taking my dog on a 30 minute walk, she took him without consent to go pick up another dog she was late for and had him for over 2 hours. I had no issues with her being late and I was responsive though messages but she didn't bother to ask if it was okay to take him. At the end of the day she took on more than what she could handle, and threw off my new rescues routine. Hope she doesn't do this to future dogs scheduled with her.

Patricia is great with my dog; she’s resourceful with finding ways to get her to walk when she’s being a big baby, and proactive about ensuring the walk is peaceful by avoiding possible triggers.
