Safety, trust & environment

I try and enter a person’s home for sitting by causing the least amount of disturbance and schedule upset for the pet. Trying to work directly with their routine so that their experience remains the same.

Information Patricia V. would like to know about your pet

If your pet requires any special accommodations or treatments, please let me know beforehand. I am experienced in administering medicine — whether it be oral, topical, or minor injections.

A typical day

Not only walks, but hikes and trips to the dog park! If your dog is a fan of drives, I can also take them out for road trips. As for your cats, I own five of my own, so I know the importance of respecting cats and their boundaries, ensuring they are comfortable with me before engaging. I offer structured play time, cuddles, and can also offer basic grooming services if needed (brushes, nail clipping).

Pet care experience

In elementary school, kids always gave exotic answers when asked what their favorite animal was. But mine was and always has been, "Dogs and cats" Dogs and cats have been a constant variable in my life and a source of happiness and inspiration. Now that I do not have a dog of my own, dog sitting is a good way to keep me connected with the pet that has helped me through the hardest and best times of my life. I have five cats, three of which were strays that my fiancé and I nursed back to health and then couldn’t dare to part with. My life has always been full of furry friends, and I would be honored to hang out with yours!

Patricia V takes such good care of my kitties. My older kitty even comes to greet her because she knows she will get her squeezey treats! Will definitely call her back when I have another trip!

Patricia took great care of my two kittens. She was able to spend all day with them while she pet sat so they got lots of attention and care. She provided updates and photos throughout her stay. I definitely recommend her!

Patricia V. Is great with my two cats. She’s very gentle and they both let her get close to them, even though my older kitty is very shy.

It was a pleasure to work with Patricia, who stayed at my house for five days and took care of my eight-year-old mini doodle, Ruby. Patricia was highly communicative leading up to her stay, sent daily pictures of Ruby while I was on my trip, left the house spotless, and even helped out with our parakeets. When I met Patricia during our meet and greet, I could see that she is a truly lovely and kind person. I look forward to working with her again. Patricia is highly trustworthy, responsible, and most importantly took great care of Ruby, I cannot recommend her services highly enough!
