Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Availability

I am newly retired so have a fairly flexible schedule. I do stay engaged with other activities and travel, so scheduling in advance is very important to me so that when I do schedule care for a pet I want to be sure I have the time to give them the full love and attention they deserve. I am very active for my age in that I run, swim, bike and play pickleball for exercise. Rest assured I am fit enough to handle any dog on a leash. The shelter I volunteer at I deal with a variety of dog personalities and energy levels and adjust accordingly. If you are looking for a pet sitter in your home I can remain in your home for the duration, or if you are just looking for someone to stay overnight with your pet that works too. I am here to accommodate pet parents with whatever accommodations they and their pet are comfortable with.

Safety, trust & environment

I live on a cul-de-sac with only three other homes on our street. We have a natural, wild area partially in the back and to the side of our home so there is plenty of open space. I have walked many miles throughout my friendly neighborhood streets walking my previous dogs and my neighbor's dog. While in a client's home I am willing to adhere to any schedule the pet parents desire. I am very conscientious of physical security of my property and that of others.

Information Patricia P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance if your dog has any special needs or behavior traits a new person should be aware of. The more informed I am about your pet's personality and health the better I can take care of him or her.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs both physically and mentally. When on walks I am in no hurry - they can sniff as much as they want or carry a toy if they choose. I can also make it as brisk as they'd like.

Animals are my people

Pet care experience

Hi there, I am new to Rover but all my life I have loved and cared for animals. I got my first kitten when I was five and in my adult life expanded that love and care to dogs. I currently do not have one of my own but I am a volunteer dog walker at an animal shelter. Throughout my adult life I have had wonderful neighbors with whom we have traded dog walking and overnight care with while traveling. Now that I am newly retired I am looking to expand my time and attention to pet parents living in Annandale and Clinton. I am available to drop in, walk and play with your best friend in your neighborhood, and I can stay overnight while you are out of town to keep your dog safe and secure in their known environment. I am also happy to assist with simple chores in your home such as taking care of plants, retrieving mail and any other small but important tasks. I am also willing to board dogs and cats in my home if that is more convenient for pet parents.

I worked with Patti for years and know her to be a loving and devoted pet caregiver. She loves all animals and would go above and beyond for anybody’s pets. Any dog would be lucky to have her company- she has treated my dogs like her own, giving them love and treats.
