Hi there! I’m Patty, and my 16-year-old son and I are lifelong dog (and cat) lovers. I grew up with a Chocolate Lab (I still miss her every day!) and several cats, and my parents now have two Goldens who are part of every family gathering. Over the years we’ve shared our home with both big and small pups — including a sweet chihuahua who lived to a happy old age — so we’re comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. We’re the ones who stop to say hi to every dog at PetCo — my son even beats me to it most of the time! I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. With a securely fenced backyard, outdoor playtime and potty breaks are always easy and frequent. Whether your dog is full of energy or loves a good cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. ❤️ Note: I host a small number of dogs at a time so they have company and a relaxed environment. Because of this, I’m not able to guarantee exclusive stays where a dog is the only guest in the home. If your dog requires being the only pet present, my home may not be the best fit.
