Availability
When I host dogs I keep the number small, that way I can give your dog lots of attention. Two teenagers and another adult are in the house to give your doggy some extra cuddles. I will make your dog's schedule a priority. When I host dogs they may be home alone for up to 6 hours (rarely) if I have to go in to work, but if they are home alone they have free rein on the first floor and I put my dog in our bedroom.

Safety, trust & environment
I have had many neighbors and friends trust our whole family in taking care of their pets when they are on vacation. I am always just a phone call away.

Information Patricia .. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have any allergies? What is your dogs favorite treat? Does your dog get along with other dogs? I will always ensure animals eat separately, however, lmk if there is any food aggression issues.
A typical day
I will take dogs on daily walks, we usually walk 2 miles daily. Don’t worry if you have a puller, so do I, and so have many dogs I have watched, we work on commands so I can be in control with great success. Can do shorter walks for senior dogs. Our whole family loves dogs and we can't wait to be their second home.

Pet care experience
I work hard to make sure our home feels like a second home to your dog. Things I do that make our home special: • Only watch one dog during the weekday at a time (I have a dog too), I do slightly increase the number on the weekend • Dogs separated and watched during mealtime • Daily walks total at least 2 miles. • Dogs allowed on furniture and beds • Dogs never kenneled, unless owner request during nighttime • I send numerous photos and videos during your dogs stay and a note about the day • Supervised enrichment time • Positive reinforcement training • I have private pet care insurance (rare for a Rover sitter to do this extra step) • Recurring clients if you see I am booked for a date you need pls message me as I keep one extra spot available for recurring clients on the weekend, only ever one spot during the weekday. We have a lot of Kong toys for hard chewers. I have years of experience and have owned numerous dogs including German Shepherds, Pitbulls, Beagles, and more. I have been able to train several dogs on how to skijor too. When I host dogs they may be home alone for up to 6 hours (rarely) if I have to go in to work, but if they are home alone they have free rein on the first floor and I put my dog in our bedroom.
Reviews
Patty is great! It’s easy to leave our dog with her because we know she will be well taken care of and happy. Patty is very responsive, and provides updates and pictures to let you know how things are going. I will for sure seek her out again the next time we need someone to watch our dog.
Jack's stay at Patty's house was awesome. Patty kept us updated with pictures and texts of how he was doing. He was calm and happy when we picked him up. We hope to use her again!
We did a meet and greet beforehand and Patty sent lots of pictures and updates during her stay. Her communication and professionalism was awesome, and we know Willow had a great time! We moved here not too long ago and it is nice to find a reliable, trustworthy sitter in a new place.
Sent lots of updates and pictures! Bev enjoyed her stay 😊
