Safety, trust & environment

I house sit in your home which provides the fur family an environment they are used to. It is less stressful for them than being in a kennel.

Information Patricia L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any special diets and medicines that need to be adhered to. The feeding times they are used to and whether dogs need separating while eating. Please have the information needed if an emergency occurs. If you are flying or visiting another state, leave me your itinerary just in case I need to find you in an emergency.

A typical day

They are provided with lots of attention and care during my stays such as play, lots of love, and attention and feeding needs. It's a delight to see the animals I care for happy when they see me on the next visit.

Dogs are people too.

Pet care experience

A Senior caring for Senior dogs or small dogs that don't need walking. Cats are also welcomed Also Serving: Saratoga, Los Gatos, Campbell, Cupertino I adored animals since childhood and up through my adult life. The range of pets was: rabbits, rats, cats, dogs, ferrets, and birds. These animals were loved and cared for so much, it became my mission to be a vet. I was all set out to go to vet school from an early age. I then noticed when an animal was in pain or hurt it was hard for me to see them that way because I loved them so much. Vet school was taken off my youthful checklist. I then set out to become an animal trainer during the time I started to raise a family. I started small and volunteered for a year at Happy Hollow Zoo in San Jose. I learned zoo keeping which consisted of feeding, cleaning, and interacting with the animals. A menagerie of characters: Hippos, geese, ferrets, seals, bobcats, Baby elephant, pigmy goats, monkeys, birds and others. Each had their different personalities. Very fond memories. I always did and still do have a very calm demeanor around animals.

We always feel safe when Patricia is home with our girls. She checks in regularly and leaves the home spotless and the kitties happy. Highly recommend her.

It’s always comforting to know Patricia is in our home keeping an eye on our babies. She’s so responsive and helpful when things come up and keeping track of all our holiday deliveries that get dropped at our door too! We never have to worry about a thing.
