Safety, trust & environment

I don't care for pets in my home. I live between a lake and a rather busy road, so I don't feel it's safe to bring a new animal into that environment.

Information Patricia L. would like to know about your pet

I am a stickler about having written information on schedules, feedings, multiple contacts, and vet information. There never can be too much information an owner can share with me about their pets.

A typical day

Separation from their human and the introduction of a new person into their home can be stressful to pets. I work hard to gain their trust and friendship, and do so at their pace, sharing in the acitivites they enjoy.

Pets

I've never met a dog I don't love.

Pet care experience

A retired professional, I love all kinds of animals...dogs, cats, horses, birds, farm animals, reptiles, small mammals, et al...having experience caring for all of these species. A Lake County, Florida, resident for over 40 years, I've held executive positions since I was 29 years old, have a master's degree, and a great repoire with animals and vice versa. I am compassionate, dependable, and conscientious and will treat your animals and home as if they were my own. I do have my own 15 lb. fur-kid Sadie, an adorable mixed breed, so house sitting for more than one night requires my bringing her. She loves every dog she meets, doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body, is completely housebroken, quiet, and hasn't touched any of my stuff since adopting her...a perfect little lady. I have photos and videos of her with my other canine clients...all of whom have enjoyed her company. A meet-and-greet will be scheduled in advance to make sure everyone - 4 and 2 legged - like each other. Every past sitting experience has been extremely pleasant and fun for all.

We are new in town and had to find someone to care for our dog, Pete. We were so fortunate to have found Pat to stay in our home while we were out of town. Part is kind, attentive and very loving. Pete was happy as were we. We highly recommend Pat for your dog sitting!

Patricia is a loving dog sitter. She really takes time to fully connect with your dog and know exactly how to best care for them. She is truly a professional and provides pictures and excellent communication. Patricia is a pet sitter you can trust and know for certain your baby is getting the best of care!

Pat is the best! She has stayed in our home twice now to care for our animals and each time we have come home to happy pups and a clean house. She is always flexible with our travel plans which is such a blessing! Our pups love Pat - she is our go to! 🤍

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.
