Patricia is the only person I trust to leave my pup with when we are away! Dexter is so excited to stay and play with her and her 2 sweet pups. Her pups are so well trained and are search & rescue dogs, as well as therapy dogs! Patricia knows everything about dogs and how to handle all breeds of pups! We call her the “ dog whisperer”!! We are so grateful to have someone to care for Dex that loves him as much as we do!

Patti is the best and I would trust her with my Pets any day! In fact, I have trusted her with my Pets many times… Patti is hard-working, honest reliable, and honestly has the best rapport with animals you could ask for! Patti has many years of experience with animals and Pet Sitting and I feel very confident she would know how to handle any situation, and furthermore the Pets will enjoy every minute of it!

Patti is fantastic! Dogs are obsessed with her and mine often don’t want to leave! It is comforting to know that my pets are so happy and content when I am away. She has cared for my labrador in the past as well as my two corgis now. She has cared for them in her home dozens of times over the years. They even sleep with her in her room ! I cannot recommend Patti enough to anyone who wants the very best love, care, and snuggles for their dog when they need to travel.

Patricia is truly a dog whisperer. She's taken excellent care of our dog for years, and every time I left him with her, I knew he'd be not only well cared for, but also loved. She goes above and beyond, treating my dog like he truly is part of the family and keeping me updated with photos and texts. There is truly no one better than Patricia to entrust with the care of your furry friend. She did K-9 Search and Rescue for many years, and has also trained service dogs. She is knowledgable, competent, experienced, and also compassionate and kind. I cannot recommend her enough.

Safety, trust & environment

I have hosted a variety of dogs in my home including corgis, labs, goldens, frenchies, pitties, mals, and other assorted breeds. I treat everyone's pets just like my own - lots of treats, snuggles, couch naps, and of course sleeping on the bed if they want. Both of my labs are extremely friendly and love pretty much all dogs, but I do have experience sitting some dogs who preferred to be separate from my boys via either baby gates or kennels (depending on what the dog is comfortable with). I have a large fenced in backyard and a smaller fenced in front yard. The backyard has a doggie door that allows the dogs to go in and out at will, although when I am not home, I do not give any dogs access to the yard (even my own dogs as a safety issue).

Pets

A typical day

Walks, playing with toys or playing fetch, splash pool, hide and seek games, and if they like it, nature hikes that can include a large creek to play in.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
No females in heat
Patricia can host up to 3 pets per night
Any special needs they have, or if they have things they do not like. Anything that can trigger fear or aggression (fireworks, a particular toy, etc). Definitely need to know what their normal routine is for feeding, exercise, and potty breaks. I find it easier for them if they are kept to the same feeding times, bedtimes, and anything else to keep them on track.
