Highlights
Pet care experience
Cozy stay for your pet!
Hi! I’m Patricia — Burlington-based animal lover, and I’d love to care for your dog or cat when you’re away. My husband Kyle and I live in a spacious home with plenty of room for pets to settle in comfortably. We’re close to great walking routes and local parks, so dogs get fresh air, sniff breaks, and movement every day (based on their energy level and routine). For cats, we focus on calm, consistent care like meals on schedule, clean litter, playtime if they’re into it, and lots of cozy downtime. Pets have been a part of my life for the last 15+ years. In my profile photo you’ll see Maks. He was our rescue and such a special part of our family. Caring for him (and growing up with dogs around me) taught me how much animals thrive with steady routines, patience, and a lot of love. If you’re thinking of booking, tell me a bit about your dog or cat — their personality, energy level, and anything that helps them feel safe and settled. I’ll take it from there.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Thanks again I was great you have just Buddy at your home. We were very happy you sent us some picture of Buddy. Hope your enjoy Buddy company.
Patricia and her family provided A+ care for our pup, Toni. We received regular text/photo updates throughout her stay, and knew that Toni was getting lots of walks and attention. Patricia was understanding and patient with our dog’s anxious tendencies, like pacing and not eating; she’s obviously experienced with animals and I wouldn’t hesitate to have Toni stay in her home again!
Stop looking you have found your person, Patricia was incredible. The whole experience was stress free and communication was great. We got a picture and update everyday and she was always asking questions to ensure she was informed. She was very flexible with timing and easy going. I hate leaving such a great review because we need dog sitting a lot and i want her all to ourself. However, she was too good to gate keep. Definitely rebooking soon.
Patricia was a perfect sitter for our dog. From our first interaction, she was timely, courteous and accommodating. And we truly felt like she had our pet's best interests in mind. We received daily updates and photos to put our minds at ease, and my kids enjoyed seeing the updates she provided. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend.
Another great experience leaving our dog with Patricia for a few days!
Patricia is great. Sent plenty of pictures and updates. Full confidence in her taking care of our dog while we were away.
