Very experienced caregiver for dogs
Pet care experience
I have had and cared for pets for most of my life. I believe pets are members of the family and deserve great care and treatment. Some of my special skills are making your dog feel welcome, safe, and comfortable while in my care. For as long as I can remember, people have commented to me that I have a special way with dogs, within minutes of meeting them they just warm up to me quickly and I have an instant new friend. If your dog has special needs, I have quite a long history of working with special needs dogs. I am open to learning the special needs your dog may have to ensure they are receiving the appropriate help and also so you will feel comfortable while away from them knowing they are in good hands. Some of the special needs dogs I have cared for include dogs who have been diagnosed with IVDD, across the spectrum of the illness from crate rest to paralysis. I have rehabilitated dachshunds after having back and neck surgery for IVDD, including 8 plus years experience with a paralyzed dachshund who needs bladder maintenance (expression) done for loss of bladder control. I have experience giving subcutaneous fluids. I have taken care of dog with a heart condition, and know the signs to be on the lookout for in the event of heart failure. I also have experience caring for dogs with dementia. I enjoy the company of all dogs, each one is very special in their own unique way. Senior dogs are extra special and I have always enjoyed caring for them, taking the time to be extra gentle, loving, and patient while they adjust to a new environment.
Reviews
Patti is great! She takes wonderful care of our dog Piper & sends updates daily with pictures. Great experience!
This was our first time using any type of outside care for a pet aside from family. Since Stormeee was a puppy, we needed more one on one time for her. We ended up choosing Patti and we are SO happy we did. From the daily updates & the beautiful photos that she sent, we were absolutely impressed & worry free about being away from our baby. I cannot commend Patti enough for taking care of our Bernedoodle pup!! We would definitely request her again. We give her 10⭐️'s!!!
This was our first time using Patti and it was such an amazing experience! She updated us daily & even sent pictures of our sweet dog, Piper! I would definitely recommend Patti for your dog-sitting needs!!
Mochi is so happy to go to Patti’s and has such a fun time there!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced in yard, with double gates for safety. I have a pet ramp for dogs with mobility issues to get on the couch, or for those who just prefer an easy walk up. I have dogs of my own who will keep your dog company. Your dog(s) will have their own bed, blankets, and plenty of dog toys to play with during their stay.

Information Patti J. would like to know about your pet
All dog breeds are welcome, but I will always have a very special place in my heart for dachshunds. In order to make your dog as comfortable as possible during their stay, I would like to know as much as possible about your dog(s). Such as, what is your dogs personality. It helps me to know if they are they mellow, timid, nervous, separation anxiety etc. If they experience separation anxiety, what helps them to calm down. Do they get along with other dogs and cats. I definitely need to know if they're escape artists, do they try to get out of yards. Do your pets have any health conditions, if so do they take medications. Do they have any allergies, or special needs. Are they potty trained, crate trained. I would love to meet your dog beforehand, to get to know them a better.
A typical day
I have a big yard for your dog to enjoy playtime in the sunshine with my dogs. We love to play fetch, chase, or any other fun in the sun. I will care for your dog like I would my own, they will receive lots of love, attention, and cuddles on the couch.
