Pet care experience
Big yard, give plenty of attention
Hi! My name is Patricia and I truly love dogs. I have taken care of several, many whom I have strongly bonded with and have learned a great deal. Muffin and Nami, our own, mean the world to me. Your dog will be treated as if she/he were my own, and we shall both benefit from our time together. I will play catch and give lots of belly rubbing. We have many toys for them to play with. Special diets will be strictly adhered to, and delicious treats given as often as I see fit. I will follow your instructions precisely. But most of all, I will treat your furry friend with respect. I have patience with dogs and can tell when they need something. I am able to bathe them (for no extra cost!) and provide a safe environment for them. If your dog is reserved towards strangers or experiences separation anxiety, we will make sure to give them extra one on one attention to better connect with them. If your dog is more outgoing, Nami (neutered) will be waiting to play. I like to learn the dogs habits to better get to know them, and to make them feel comfortable and loved. *****Drop-off and pick-up times are from 8 A.M to 9 P.M. Please bring their food, poop bags, treats, and toys. If your dog is over 1 year old, but still has a high energy level, please make sure you have enough time for a meet and greet. We need to ensure the safety of our dog who is tiny. I recommend you authorize me to use the card on file you have with your dog’s veterinarian in case of an emergency. For meet and greets, I am available after 5pm during the week and all day on the weekends. Please fill out your dog’s profile before contacting to let us know if we would be a good fit for your dog. Thank you!******* Schedule: I work from 8:30am to 4:30 pm on weekdays, but I come home for lunch and to check on the dogs for an hour , so your dog(s) won’t be left alone for more than 2-2.5 hours at a time. I don't work on the weekends. Safety & Environment: In the event I need to run errands, they are separated by gates and have their own hangout area, with access to their food and water bowls, etc. When I am home, they're free to roam about. My neighborhood is fairly quiet and great for walking around. I take my responsibility for your dog very seriously, so I don't take them anywhere off leash at all. The dogs sleep with me, in my daughter's bedroom, or in the living room (with whoever and wherever you and your dog feel most comfortable), either on my bed, their crate, or in one of the dog beds on the floor. You're also welcome to bring a dog bed of your own if you wish, if that's what they're most used to at home. If I have to administer medication. Please make sure pills are in a pill box and are label if needed . As well as written instructions. If your dog has to have food that needs to be mixed with something else. Bring mixture already prepared.

Ratings and reviews
You’re always a little apprehensive when leaving your baby with someone new. I liked Patricia right away and I liked her setup. She sincerely cares. She sent pics everyday and I could see Grahm was comfortable and happy. She really cares. Highly recommended.
Patricia was so wonderful! It was so nice to have peace of mind and great care for our Zavi while we were away. She was so loving to Zavi, provided photos and we felt he was safe and taken care of.
Patricia is great with Romeo. He has separation anxiety. She makes him feel very comfortable & treats him great. We feel very good leaving him. We don’t worry at all. She’s great!!!!!
I can't say enough good things about Patricia! Leaving my dog with her was a truly smooth and comfortable experience. She was so thoughtful about providing regular updates and sent a great stream of photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She's a fantastic sitter, and I am so grateful! Thank you!
Patricia is a very caring and kind person. I couldn't give a 5 star rating because she mixed up my dog's food & medication dosages, even though I gave explicit instructions and wrote it down. Not what you want to hear when you are out of the country. I don't think she was the right for for my dog, which does have some health issues.
Patricia took such good care of Esther. She was very patient with Esther’s separation anxiety and took extra measures to make her comfortable.

A typical day
We play tug-a-war and catch with the dogs we watch when they are interested. Exercise is important, so we take the dogs on long walks around the apartment complex. We adjust the distance we walk by the dogs' abilities. With your permission, we might take them to a dog park and give them a little vanilla ice cream as a treat.
