Pet care experience

Dogs are people too.

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.

Patricia was on time and took great care of my senior dog! She sent pictures throughout the day so that I can see my dog was in good hands

Patricia only came for two days, but even in that short amount of time she and Lily became best buds! She kept in constant communication with us and, of course, sent daily photos of our 16-year-old cat doing absolutely nothing, which is what she always does! It was comforting knowing that our sweet, furry friend was such good, competent hands!
