A typical day

I look forward to playing so many games with your pet. For dogs I will have so many toys for them to choose from and so many great places to go walking and a nice size car if we make a trip to the numerous parks I like to visit. Cats love to have fun too! Whether your cat is shy or outgoing, I’ll make sure to give them all the attention they need... from scratches to playing. I’ll do it all. I also have a medium size goofball who loves dogs and cats ( I’m amazed too!) that’s always ready to give love.

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs (big & small) since I can remember! I have a love for dogs but absolutely love all animals. I am one to take the time to get to know your pets likes, dislikes and what helps them be their best for your and your family! I am freelance photographer and will have plenty of time to care for your pets needs when you are unable to! Which means your pets are definitely getting their picture taken. I cater to puppies and even dogs with special needs, as it is the main reason why I help foster and rescue dogs. I will take all necessary precautions and means to keep your pet safe in your home or outside. I make sure of this by securing the dog properly if I am boarding or if we are planning to enjoy a nice stroll making sure the leash and collar are properly tightened and fastened Your dog or cat won’t be able to resist having fun!

I regretfully had a very negative experience with this pet sitter. Initially, there were significant communication issues and rigid drop-off time requirements that were difficult to accommodate given my work schedule. Despite these challenges, I proceeded with the booking due to time constraints. Upon returning from my trip, I found my dog, Lenox, in a distressing state. He was panting heavily, visibly dehydrated, and had greasy, red-stained fur around his eyes. Lenox has chronic dry eye, and I had explicitly instructed the sitter to leave his eye care to me if she was unsure how to handle it. To my shock, the sitter admitted to applying A&D ointment to his eyes without my consent, which is not prescribed by his vet and is potentially harmful. More concerning, Lenox had a deep laceration under his left eye where the bleeding was evident, and he now needs stitches. The application of the ointment caused an infection because the area wasn’t properly cleaned before the medicated substance was applied. Lenox was whining and crying unusually, indicating he was in pain or distress. Furthermore, the sitter requested payment in cash instead of through the Rover app, raising additional concerns about her professionalism and adherence to platform guidelines. Despite my attempts to get clarity on what happened, the sitter was evasive and unhelpful. This experience left me very concerned for Lenox’s well-being, and I had to rush him to the vet for urgent care. I strongly advise against using this sitter. Her lack of communication, disregard for specific care instructions, unauthorized use of medication, poor handling of an injury, and request for cash payment have caused significant distress for both me and my dog. Please be cautious if you consider booking with her. If anyone is interested in seeing photos of his face after I picked him up, please let me know. I’m happy to share. in the meantime, I’ve opened an investigation with Rover and filed a claim. I’m hoping to be reimbursed for his medical bills because as I mentioned, he needed stitches and a cone.

Patricia is amazing. I highly recommend her to everyone who is looking for a great sitter. She took care of our energetic Labrador puppy.

Oh my gosh! We had the best experience with Patricia and furry friends. Communication was great and she was so understanding when we needed to adjust pick up time. The attentiveness and doggo expertise is top notch. Appreciate her and we will definitely be back!
