Availability
As someone who works from home and takes online classes, my schedule is super flexible—perfect for giving your pet the attention they deserve! I’m home throughout the day, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just some company while they nap, I can be there when they need it most. My routine allows me to be fully present and responsive to your pet’s needs. I can stick to their feeding and walking schedule, provide consistent companionship, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Being home all day also makes me a great fit for puppies, senior pets, or dogs who need a little extra TLC.

About Patricia H.

Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s routine closely & I make sure they’re comfortable in their space, following their usual schedule for walks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. Whether it’s sticking to their favorite walking route or knowing exactly how they like their food prepared, I pay close attention to every detail you share. I know how much the little details matter! Being in their own environment helps your pet feel more relaxed, and I’m there to make sure they feel loved every step of the way. I’m experienced in administering a variety of medications, including flea and tick ointments, oral chewy meds, and pills; whether they’re hidden in a treat or given directly. I stay calm and patient to make the process as stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable managing multiple pets and giving each one the attention and care they need. I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet: clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I provide regular updates with messages & photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands & know everything is going smoothly while you’re away.
Information Patricia H. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, energy level, any medical needs, fears or triggers, favorite activities, and how they typically behave around new people or animals.
A typical day
When I petsit, my main goal is to keep them active, & feeling happy & loved! I enjoy going on long walks, visiting parks with lots of nice scenery & smells, or playing with them & their favorite toys that keep them entertained. I love anything interactive, & plenty of love & affection if they’re into it. I always tailor activities to match each pet’s personality and energy level, whether that means a game of tug of war, a nice walk, bathing in the sun at the park, or tons of affection. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and joy are always my top priorities!

Your Pet’s New Favorite Human!
Pet care experience
I have been a pet lover & pet care advocate for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities my entire life. I’ve had pups, taken care & rescued cats, & cared for pets like bunnies & hamsters. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own which I do with a smile. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs to play & burn off some energy, or a sweet senior pup who needs extra patience and care, I adapt to their unique needs and personalities. I’m not just a sitter, i’m an emotional support human & a dependable companion for your pet while you’re away. I believe in consistent communication, lots of love, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I love & care for them as if they were my own. I’m experienced with administering medications, sticking to routines, and keeping pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. Your comfort, peace of mind, & your pet’s happiness are my top priority!

Reviews
Patricia was very patient with my anxious dog. She did an excellent job of keeping me up to date without going overboard
Thank you Patricia! Bailey and Sky were in very good hands. Both dogs very happy 😊
Patricia was warm and professional and the dogs both loved her. Such a relief for pet owners to have such a capable care-giver. Lots of updates during the day and pics. We will definitely be booking with Patricia again!
Patricia was amazing. Our newly adopted doghas separation anxiety and continued to give her a run for her money the whole first part of the second day. She was patient with Lucy and in the end we were so happy to be able to complete our vacation without worries. We will definitely have her back
