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.

This was the first time we booked with Patricia and we were very pleased. She took care of Rumor at our house for 17 days. Even though we started our trip at an early hour, she showed up promptly, allowing us to go over last minute details. Throughout the stay she kept us updated on Rumor and left the house in good condition. We will definitely use her in the future.

Pat cared for Oakley like she was her own and took the time to get to know her. Will definitely be booking her again!

Patricia did a wonderful job taking care of my babies. She showed them so much love and care. She sent me many photos every day. Patricia put me at ease leaving my dogs for so long.

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.

It's all about the animals in my care. I plan my day around them. I'm retired, so I have the luxury of being able to do so.
