Patricia can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Availability

I stay home (Hilo) mostly and work on my digital drawings and online business. I do like to travel though, and I also watch my grandson every now and then. However, if your pet is friendly with children, I can babysit my 8 year old grandson at your house if need be. I also like to go to the gym everyday, so I will be gone 1.5 hours everyday. Its super easy to fit care for your baby (s) into my schedule. I will keep my calendar updated.

Safety, trust & environment

Currently, I can spend nights and house sit/pet sit at your house, but only short term. 3 days or less. I can also provide drop in visits at your house. I can walk doggies as well during the drop in visits. However, I can only care for small, nice dogs. Please message me and we can discuss what you need! I do not work, Im retired, I might have to leave during the day for a few hours ( if hired to house/pet sit) for appointments, to pick up grandson, feed my pets at home or run errands. I will do my best to follow all directions, send pics daily and have great communication with you. I will make sure to keep your house clean during my stay as well as respect your house rules. It is important to note that I do have a Emotional Support Chihuahua thats quiet and is use to traveling with me; shes good with both cats and dogs and kids (she ignores them mostly stays to her self). If you want me to stay the night at your place, I might have her come with me if your pet is friendly, unless someone from my family is home to stay with her. In the past, Ive taken her with me to clients homes and eventually she becomes besties with the pet Im sitting. 😂 Playdates and socializing 24/7. Most of the time I leave her at home. Please reach out, message me and we can make a plan thats good for you.

Information Patricia G. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know that I will NOT WATCH any dogs that are medium or large dogs . I will only watch small dogs and puppies that have never bitten a person, It is also important that they are up-to-date on their shots and well socialized. Please no vicious chihuahuas! I will watch ANY size cats though! 😂 I would like to know if your pet has any medical issues; what their diet is like. I’d like to know what their daily routine is, what they love and what to avoid so that I can be consistent with their routines. Id like to meet your pet before hand if possible, so that I don't cause more stress to them when they see a stranger at their house (stranger danger). If you are in a time crunch and your pet is ok with strangers; I can just show up the day(s) you need me ( just message me details). If you would like for me to walk your pet during my dropping visits or housesitting; I’d like to know how they do around other animals and around people. Are they use to walking or are they reactive to people or other pets?

A typical day

Once they warm up to me; we can play with their toys, take little walks around your yard or the park or indoor fetch. We can chill and I can rub their belly, I can play Doggy or Kitty relaxing therapy music to them as well. I am starting to collect a few cat toys and dog toys as well that I can take with me. Im also learning about doggy and kitty massage. But of course, if your pet prefers space; I understand that. ( my pet has high anxiety) so I understand sometimes pets have different personalities and needs. If allowed, I can walk your doggies at the park or near the beach as well. I can also care for Kitties with FVI or Diabetes. I have experience with their needs.

Patricia was very reliable and took very good care of my pack of cats. Even with all their various special diets including one who needs meds, she had no issues and everything went smoothly. She sent pix with each visit and texted if any weren't eating their full meals. It was nice to know they were being well looked after. I would definitely book her again.
