Your dog’s second family
Pet care experience
Safe, fun, and flexible care for dogs 65 pounds or less. When your fur baby is with me, they get to socialize with our very playful and submissive 60-pound male dog named Matzah, and enjoy lots of belly rubs. BENEFITS ▪️ Fenced backyard (over 5000 sq ft) ▪️ Dogs can sleep anywhere ▪️ Always with people (I work full time from home) ▪️ 20+ years caring for dogs (mostly for fun) ▪️ Can crate dogs 80lbs or less if needed I grew up with dogs and enjoy training, walking, riding my bike and even swimming with them. Before having children of my own, I raised 2 pedigreed basset hounds and 2 German shepherds. Now that my children are enjoying lives on their own, we take care of our 3 rescues and their friends 😃
Reviews
Patricia and here husband were amazing hosts!! They took great car of our dogs and spent quality time with them taking walks and keeping us updated. Best sitter we ever had for the boys and I would highly recommend them for your dogs care.
My pup had his first boarding experience with Patricia, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. The pre-service meet and greet made me feel at ease. And Patricia sent pictures and updates throughout his actual stay. Beau came back tired out and happy.
Patricia was great with our boy, Sammy. We were nervous because this was his first time boarding, but she was very communicative and made me feel comfortable about his day with her. He looked like he had a great time!
Highly recommend Patricia! She kept me updated on Max with lots of great pictures and quick responses. This was my second time booking with her, and Max absolutely loves being there. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands!

Safety, trust & environment
SAFETY REQUIREMENT before booking: Meet and greet. If your dog is 2 years old and has not been with other dogs, you‘ll need to leave them in our home for about 2-3 hours so we can see how it behaves when you’re not around. Puppies and well-socialized adults will only require 30 mins or less. We have a fully enclosed backyard with 5.5-foot high fencing. There are cameras in and outside our property so I can watch them from anywhere. If I need to run an errand, either my hubby or one of my adult children can help with care.

▪️Proof of vaccination ▪️Lkes/dislikes ▪️Aggression around food or toys ▪️Barker / yapper? ▪️Counter surfer / jumps tables ? ▪️Sensitivity, health concerns, bite history ▪️Commands that they know ▪️Any behavioral quirks like chewing furniture. Does your dog like riding cars. Is it housebroken and crate-trained? ▪️Any info to make them feel like they’re home.
A typical day
I enjoy engaging dogs physically and mentally. Dogs of the same energy can play all day in either the main floor or in the basement with me while I work. We’d break for about 5 mins every 2 hours to learn/reinforce basic commands like sit, down and stay. If outdoor temperatures fall within 45-85F, we’ll walk in the morning and afternoon. My 65-lb mixed breed walks/runs with me about an hour a day. One of his favorite games is ‘find it’ where we hide a toy and he searches for it.
