Caring, Dependable and Happy Visits

Pet care experience

My name is Patti and I've had one or two dogs throughout my life. Currently I have a 6 year old Oliver (a Maltese/Chihuahua mix) and a 4 year old Boston Terrier named Beulah (means Heaven) . I also have three cats - Turbo, Shelby and Edward. So you see I love pets. I have recently retired. I am looking for a way to help people care for their pets. This is my Dream Job!! I love those adorable faces and personalities. Since I am home full time, you can count on me for most days and times. Drop In Visits - I can visit your Cat (s) or Dog (s) in the morning or afternoons. I will be there 1/2 hour to let dogs out, or clean kitty litter boxes. I’ll make sure they have proper food and water and treats. If there are hairballs or potty accidents, I clean it up because life happens. If you are away on an extented stay, I believe in leaving your place neater than the way I found it. If that means vacuuming fur balls, I will do it. See; photos Boarding - Pets are welcome to stay at my home. Our backyard was recently fenced in and is large for running and playing. We have gated areas in the house or crates if needed. We have the TV room with couches and blankets and dog beds. We can also take walks around the quiet and dog friendly neighborhood. Please bring your pets food and treats as to not upset their tummies. Bring a blanket and toy of theirs too, if you like. See: photos ** DROP OFF and PICK UP TIMES for your pet are between 7am to 7pm. I schedule other pet care around your scheduled times. Thanks Dog Walks - 1/2 hour walk with you pooch (es) for some fresh air and exercise will do him a world of good. If you have a long day at work and just need to have your dog let out midday until you get home, or any number of reasons, I’m available. See our walking route on the Rover App to track the where and and time and report and photos. ** SAY CHEESE- with any service, daily report cards and photos are sent to you. Just one way of giving you piece of mind while you’re away. ** FIRST TIME - Ask me about Promo Code Discount! I look forward to meeting you and your pooches ...

Rover app is Excellent. But Patti is AWESOME. I was certain that Bear will have a wonderful time since this was his 2nd time with his friends. Mrs Patti keep us updated with texts, pics and videos. Bear enjoyed his time with his friends so much. She really take care of him the same we will do. Baby Bear can’t wait to next time 🐻
