Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Haven! East Lake Forest.
Limitations on Boarding Services: Companion "type" dogs only accepted. Spayed and neutered, vaccinated and well socialized campers will just love joining others in a dog friendly home! Covered by 3rd party Pet Care Insurance; I am retired and was employed as a licensed clinical social worker manager in municipality (police), hospital and educational settings. I am an animal lover with decades of experience with dogs, cats and others! ((No hounds, hunting/herding/guarding, including French and English bulldogs, Pugs campers accepted; I love them ALL but the little dogs don't.) HOUSE DESCRIPTION: Minimal stairs and a ramp to the outdoor padlocked large yard (complete with motion light sensors), and separate indoor napping/sleeping/feeding areas meet individual needs. "Sibling" or multiple family dogs are very welcome, as are healthy functioning elderly dear hearts. I offer extended stays, and some dogs have wintered with me for years! Medical needs for visitors: I have experience with oral/vision/injectable medications. I pride myself on keeping meds schedules on time!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Patricia sent me pictures of my dogs every day. She had multiple beds for them to get comfy on, and she immediately was able to keep my dogs in their routine.
So sweet to Eliza. We were very nervous about leaving her and she came back perfectly happy ❤️
Pat was great and took good care of Niu Niu while we were away.
Patricia is outstanding! We really appreciated updates throughout the stay and could tell she really loves her job. She goes far and above to make sure that your dog is happy and secure in her care.
Pat was a wonderful sitter over the holiday weekend! She kept us updated and we could tell she genuinely enjoyed taking care of our dog. We’ll def be using her again in the future!
Outstanding care for my two dogs!! Patricia treated them like they were her own. Lots of attention, yard time and cuddles with daily pictures/videos and updates for me. She collected a lot of details about them in advance to maintain their daily routine. In general, Patricia really understands dogs' needs/behavior and is prepared to handle unexpected situations. I will not give it a second thought to take my boys back to Patricia with my full confidence and trust.

Schedule
Typically I am home with exceptions to grocery shopping or a brief appointment outside the home. Pet care and nurturance are my main focus and priority.
