Flexible and loving pet care

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover and shelter volunteer with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have experience with special needs animals and administering medications. I also have experience with dog training and dog behavioral problems, and I am comfortable watching dogs with different fears or aggressions (separation anxiety, escape artists, food aggression, etc.). I like to stick to the pets' routines to reduce their anxiety and provide a fun experience for the pets. My schedule is flexible, so I am able to visit for lunch walks or play sessions for dogs who need that mid-day break. If pet sitting in your home, I am happy to take care of the house (watering plants, checking mail, etc.) while I am there.

Patti's place is Griffey's home away from home in State College! After staying there once, each subsequent time we've pulled into her driveway, he whines to get out of the car and pulls me up to her front door as fast as possible. He comes home tired after his visit and clearly has a great time. We're so grateful to have found someone who takes wonderful care of him whenever we're traveling!

Ella was so happy when I picked her up. I know she had a great stay because Patti sent pictures of their activities and Ella was always engaged with her. I'm going to have Patti keep Ella again; she gets great care from someone who loves dogs. ?

Patti was amazing with Kosch, she really took care of my puppy and sent me pictures during the break! I'm sure Kosch had an amazing time with Patti! I would definitely take Kosch again with Patti! Thank you!
