They'll be begging to come back!

Pet care experience

I've always had a love and deep respect for all animals. Can’t remember a time when I haven’t had at least 1 dog in my life. From Rottweilers, German Shepherds, beloved mutts, to now 2 friendly and social Chihuahua mixes. I have volunteered at animal shelters, therapeutic horse riding academies, and wildlife watch programs. I’ve been a horse woman since my teens although now retired from riding. Your fur-family will be well cared for, safe, and protected in my home. Your care instructions will be followed and your furry friends will enjoy their stay and look forward to their next visit to Happy Tails. I am retired so have the time available for activities and extra care. I am comfortable giving either oral or inter-muscular injectable medications. Home is peaceful and calm. No children. 2 small dogs and 1 dog friendly cat. Hope to meet you.

We have used Rover to board Max and Magoo for several years with dozens of sitters and scores of overnights. All of our experiences have been exceptional...until this one. Patti was critical and rude from the moment we dropped the boys off, and continued that behavior via multiple texts complaining how "ill mannered" they were. Her final text asked us to "pick them up asap!" She truly ruined our short getaway, and she is definitely in the wrong business.

Excellent care!! Very patient and understanding. Keep us updated. Our senior dog suffered from “separation anxiety “, Patti was very patient and understanding…

Patti was not helpful with our dogs. The whole time they were there she kept one of our dogs on a leash and she’s a small Pomeranian mix dog that’s used to being on our lap. She also made inappropriate suggestions as to how we can take care of our dogs. She also made derogatory remarks about our dogs saying they were “high maintenance.” She took care of 2 small lap dogs for us that require attention and of that she said “they very bonded to you” and that that’s why they were “high maintenance.” Our dogs were also starving when we brought them home which leaves us wondering about how often they were fed. We will never take our dogs back to her.

Patti took good care of our dog who had separation anxiety when we had to travel. She kept us updated and sent us pictures and video clips so we could see how she was doing.
