Pet care experience

Daily walks & extra attention

For drop-in visits I am available to feed, play with, & walk your dog during weeknight evenings from 5pm through 9pm, and anytime on weekends. Your dog will feel safe & comfortable staying overnight at my home. I have a decent-sized fenced in portion of my yard and live in a quiet, safe neighborhood at the end of a dead-end street. I can offer brushing, bathing, medication adminstration, daily walks, playtime, and extra snuggle time. My babies are Takara & Kogarashi, who are American Akitas; Lux, a buff tabby DSH cat ; and Kazimir, a shy, fluffy b&w DLH cat. I also have a tree frog and a veiled chameleon, and outside I have 18 hens and who live in enclosed chicken yards (safe from predators) & 2 coops. I grew up living with multiple cats, a few birds & lizards, freshwater fish, & a few other assorted furry critters throughout my life. I spent a few years helping at a neighbor's horse barn in my youngster years. I've been dogsitting in my home ever since I adopted my Boston terrier Rosie in 2014. I love all animals, and I am excited to keep your dog entertained & comfortable while you are away.

Thanks for taking great care of our pups. Short notice and a holiday weekend. Thanks! Our labs were still tired out that evening. That’s no easy task. Nice work.

Patti is such a sweet person and she took great care of my cat, Ella, over a long weekend. She is thorough, dependable and is great at communicating. I look forward to booking her in the future!

Patty did a wonderful job with my dog Lexi. She kept me updated while I was away with photos and videos. She walked her often, took her to the park, and brushed her. I would highly recommend her to care for anybody’s pet. You cannot find a better dog sitter!

We were very happy with our experience with Margaret staying with Patricia. We were sent photos and videos and know that our girl got lots of cuddles and love. Patricia was accommodating to our schedule and travel plans and made the entire experience very hassle free. We will ABSOLUTELY be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Patty has been walking/dog sitting my two dog for approximately 5 years. They both love her (even the one who is a bit of a jerk, lol). She is a great resource for last minute trips and unexpected walks. Patty has never failed to show up when expected and goes above and beyond to make my pets happy! Spends extra playtime, gives lots of treats and cuddles and is the only person I trust my fur babies to. I am lucky to have found such a responsible and reliable sitter for my two dogs.

Patty watches my Dexter doggy when I’m traveling for work or pleasure. I get daily updates and pics of my baby boy playing and snuggling. He starts wagging his tail when we turn onto her street. I’d highly recommend her to watch your own fur babies

I'd like to know if your dog can play off-leash in my fenced yard and if your dog enjoys going for walks on-leash. I would like to know if they have any special wants or needs. I love all breeds of fur babies. If enjoyed, I can brush your dog as well.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
