Pet care experience

Home 24/7. Your dog's vacation home

***Premium, Personalized, 24/7 Care — This Is All I Do*** Your dog won’t just be boarded, they’ll be part of our family. This isn’t a side hustle or something I squeeze in between other jobs. It's my only job. Caring for dogs is my full-time passion (beside bedazzling items for my Etsy shop which include super cute doggy food and water bowls). I’m home 24/7 to give your pup the kind of attention, comfort and care that’s hard to find elsewhere. ***I only care for small dogs 25 lbs. and under*** (Unfortunately Rover doesn’t let me set that limit precisely) We live in a spacious open concept home with a fully fenced safe backyard. your fur baby will never be left alone, indoors or outside. My husband works from home too, so there’s ALWAYS someone here to keep a watchful eye (and give belly rubs). I spent 12 wonderful years working at the Humane Society of Greater Miami Veterinarian Clinic where I gained extensive medical experience. I cat administer medications and injections and sub-q fluids. I’ve also fostered and trained countless dogs. I missed all the doggy & kitty interactions terribly which is why I decided to join Rover. Animals are truly my life. My world would feel empty without them. Our home is designed around the comfort and happiness of our dogs and our guest pups with lots of space to play inside and out, filtered spring water always available and comfy beds all over the house and lots of couch space for those well deserved naps. Everyone sleeps in our bedroom on doggy beds at bedtime. Your fur baby will feel like they’re on a well-deserved vacation. Our home could be a home away from home (a.k.a their vacation home) for your furry family. Let’s set up a “Meet and Greet” so your fur baby can meet our two super-senior mini schnauzers (and maybe our senior cat who likes to hide from other humans). and see if we’re a good fit. I promise your fur baby will be treated like family from the moment they walk in.

What a spectacular experience Axe had with Patricia. We received daily updates, most with video. We were relaxed knowing he was in great hands and had a great time. We surely will request her hospitality again!!

We’ve brought our little senior dog to Patricia twice. She’s is so enthusiastic and loving to all animals. During the week she gave us “pupdates” which gave us peace of mind knowing our fur baby was well taken care of. I highly recommend trusting Patricia to give high quality love, care and attention to your pet while you’re on vacation.

Schedule

I "work" from home dog sitting making things for my Etsy shop. You could say I'm home 24/7 because I very rarely go out (i.e. a bite to eat or errands). Your furr baby would get tons of attention & playtime.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a completely fenced in large safe backyard & live in a safe quiet neighborhood. No one is ever left unattended in the backyard. There is always access to multiple bowls of fresh spring water. I have a large open concept home so there is lots of room to run around & tons of toys to play with. There are lots of beds to choose from & plenty of couch space to lounge around in throughout the day. We have a large master bedroom so everyone gets to sleep on doggy beds in the room with us at bedtime.
