Availability

I’m available for pet sitting or boarding on both weekdays and weekends. I do work a full time job, but have the option to work from home if needed. I typically let dogs free roam in the house if that is what they are used to, and come home on lunch breaks to let out and go on a short walk.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a fenced in yard, but am just a few blocks away from the town square, to easily go on walks throughout town and the park. I am not afraid of walking a strong dog, dogs without manners, etc. from growing up with hunting dogs of our own. I also enjoy going out on the wooden trails around lake red rock. I have never met a pet I didn’t like, and promise to love and care for your pet as if it was my own. Whether your pet is used to being crate trained or sleeping on the bed, I want your pet to feel comfortable and at home while you may be out. I also can provide reliable care outside of my home. From checking in on pets periodically, weekend stays, or completing barn chores, I am a trusted source of care.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a small farm in IL and have taken care of our dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and other misc pets. I’ve helped with fostering from our local shelter, taking in new momma cats and dogs, giving their new litter support and care outside of the shelter environment until old enough for adoption. I currently do not have any pets, but will occasionally volunteer/foster with the Golden Retriever Rescue of Iowa.

Patricia is very dependable. She showed up for the meet and greet and the doggie walks as scheduled. I would recommend Patricia to care for your pet. She is good with Dakota and kept us informed. I would definitely use Patricia again if I am in the Pella area.

Patricia sent me reports and photos each day. Felt my dog was in caring hands.

We are a first time Rover family. Patricia was responsible, reliable, responsive and simply lovely. She took great care of our pets and home. She was a total gem—sent lots of pictures, took lots of walks. She even brought in our mail (which we totally forgot about). Thank you, Patricia!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
