I am recently retired. I drive a neighbor to doctor and lab appointments during the week, but I have plenty of time in-between to spend quality time with your cats or dogs.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure large fenced-in yard. I supervise the dogs when they’re outside, I don’t just leave them out there. I’ll also play with them if they are up to it. I am not currently looking to board dogs or cats in my home because of my two cats.
Home
Information Patricia K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any dietary restrictions or is not allowed treats. Also, if there is anything special that they like, such as being scratched behind the ears or under their chin. I am experienced at giving dogs injections under the skin as I had a dog that needed that when he grew old. Also, I’m pretty good at giving pills. Just cover those sort of things with me and I can tell you what I can do and cannot do. The dogs that have boarded with me in the past love being with me. I kind of spoil them. I tell their owners what happens at grandma‘s house stays at grandma’s house, lol!
A typical day
When I let the dogs outside I stay outside with them. I make sure there is water available. If I have them on a leash, I let them stop and sniff as much as they want. This is their time to relax. If they want to play fetch, I will throw the ball until they tire of it or my arm gets tired. If they want to just be petted or snuggle for a few minutes, I love that too. And I know most dogs love belly rubs. Of course, if they’re allowed snacks, I’ll make sure they get those too!

Pets Are Family
Pet care experience
I am recently retired and have owned cats and dogs for years. I am currently doing in-home dog sitting for friends so that they can travel. I treat their pets like they are part of the family. I currently have two cats, both strays, that I took in and took care of their medical situation and now they live with me. I had two dogs, both pit bull mixes. Both of them died a couple years ago at the age of 15 1/2. I have not been able to get another dog as I’m just not ready yet emotionally, but I would love to spend time with other peoples’ dogs and cats.
Reviews
Patricia is fantastic! She always takes amazing care of my dog and I can tell from the pictures how happy he is when she is there! The absolute best !!
Highly recommend Patricia! She was incredibly professional and reliable. She went above and beyond to ensure our cat had great care while we were out of town.
Thank you!!
Patricia helped us out last minute! She came by beforehand to meet our pups, arrived on time, and was great at communicating, thank you!
