Patricia's Pooches, South Croydon

Pet care experience

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL BE MOVING AWAY FROM SOUTH CROYDON IN THE SUMMER WHICH IS WHY I HAVE BLOCKED MY CALENDAR OUT FROM JUNE ONWARDS. IT'S LIKELY WE WILL MOVE TO TUNBRIDGE WELLS OR NORTH LONDON - TO BE DECIDED. ALSO, I CAN'T TAKE ANY STRONG EXCITABLE DOGS WHO PULL ON THE LEAD AS I SUFFER FROM SHOULDER AND NECK PAIN. I work from home and am offering home boarding, or as I prefer to call it, doggy holidays. I would be delighted to look after your dog while you are away on your holidays, weekends or day trips. We live very near to South Croydon station. I have a lovely, spacious house with a beautiful conservatory overlooking a totally secure garden (even our cat can't get out). It's just my husband and me, so the house is very calm. I've owned cats and dogs all my life - I have years of experience and can happily deal with all aspects of pet care, including the yukky stuff! I am totally responsible and would never leave a dog in my care unattended. Rest assured that your dog will get all the exercise, company and love that he/she needs while you are away.

The one place Bellsie is truly happy with away from home. When she realised where she was going today, she literally dragged me running there. The best care you could ask for,

Kobe had a lovely stay with Patricia, once again. I received daily updates, photos and videos. Very happy knowing he was well looked after and comfortable with Patricia.

Patricia is wonderful! She takes such good care of Bellsie and it is one of the only places she is happy to be without me, which says a lot!

Information Patricia S. would like to know about your pet

I am unable to take any boisterous or excitable dogs or young puppies. Please let me know if your dog is happy travelling by car, train and / or bus. Please also let me know where your dog usually sleeps - in your bedroom or downstairs. Please bring your dog's bed as this will make him/her feel more at home. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information.

A typical day

Our typical day: coffee or breakfast at our local dog friendly cafe. A walk in Park Hill, Purley Beeches or Croham Hurst Woods. Sometimes we go for a drive, so I have a special dog seatbelt. :-) I will send you regular pupdates and photos (at least twice per day) for complete peace of mind.
