I'll Be Your Dog's Best Friend

Pet care experience

Taking care of animals has been a love and passion of mine ever since I was a kid. I’ve had a long history of taking care of animals in both professional and personal situations, between rescuing animals such as dogs, kittens, and even rabbits, to volunteering at animal shelters. I currently own two dogs at the moment: a Greyhound named Zelda and a Maltipoo named Korra, who is a rescue that my boyfriend and I took in. From my many years of experience, you can be sure that your pup is in great hands when you’re away. I know that no one likes to be away from their best friend for very long, which is why I always make it a point to keep owners up to date by sending them daily text updates. I’ll always let you know how your pup is doing, what we’ve done during the day, and what we’re planning on for the next day. I’m always a big fan of sending pictures along as well, because who doesn’t love to see their pup in action and having fun on a new adventure? In any case, I’ll always go the extra mile to make sure that both you and your pup feel comfortable and well taken care of during a stay. I have a very flexible schedule at home, and will be able to give your pup my undivided attention. I am a full-time sitter, so you won’t have to worry about who is going to look after your pup during the daytime. Between Zelda, Korra, and I, you can be sure that there will never be a dull moment during the stay! We’ll have plenty of time for activities and exploration as well. I hate to be cooped up inside, so we’ll make sure to get out just as often as possible. If your pup enjoys getting exercise, he’ll fit right in with us!

Tricia is a true animal lover with a caring and calm demeanor. Rufus liked her immediately. We will use her again!

Patricia did amazing with my dog Nike who is an 11 year old pit mix. Always got notified daily with several pics of my pet being well taken care of. She is very flexible and accommodating, would definitely recommend to anyone.

Information Patricia R. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

I always love to be outside in nature, whether that means going for a run or a trip to the dog park. There’s nothing better than having a canine co-pilot along for the ride as well! We’ll have a fun-filled couple of days exploring the sights and smells around the neighborhood and parks, and will make sure to burn as much energy as possible during our stay. If your pup needs to get plenty of exercise, I’m happy to oblige. I’m a very active person myself so it’s always great to have that extra motivation. If your pup is a bit more on the easygoing side, we can always spend some quality time cuddling together or being lazy around the house.
