Pet care experience

Experienced pet sitters, cozy home

Me and my spouse have 5 animals of our own - 2 dogs and 3 cats, so managing a little chaos comes very naturally to us. We utilize house sitting services through Rover when we travel and would love to provide that same peace of mind to others in our area. We are not able to offer boarding services because we have so many at our own home, but would love to help you out with house sitting or drop-ins!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I will let your pet come to me. It takes time for animals to build trust, so I will prioritize meet and greets ahead of time to make safe introductions.

Patti is absolutely fantastic! Our dog is very anxious and had a very big reaction the first night (even though we did a meet and greet). He went a little wild and Patti didn’t even blink an eye. Patti took complete control of the situation and was cool, calm and collected and was able to win him over with a lot of patience! I appreciate how proactive she was in communication, the detail to take care of our babies, and the hilarious report cards. All around a wonderful experience and can’t recommend Patti enough 🙌

I can’t say enough great things about Patti! She was fantastic and very patient with our pup who proved to be stubborn and opinionated when we left town. She was an excellent communicator and went above and beyond.

We had a good feeling about Patti when we first met her at the initial meet and greet. She presented as warm and friendly and clearly knowledgeable of animals. She stayed overnight for two nights, followed our instructions, and provided daily updates along with pictures. We returned home to find it in exactly the same condition as we had left it. We will definitely rebook with Patti.

Patti did a great job caring for Cooper while we were on vacation. She was very flexible with our schedule and communication was awesome. I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby!!

Schedule

I am a full-time audiologist in the outskirts of Raleigh, so weekend house sitting is where my best availability is. Depending on your location, I can consider house sitting during the week if your pet can be alone during business hours (8-5) or if you are in the Butner, Creedmoor, or Wake Forest areas.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Patti can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please leave information on potty training, leash training, as well as known commands, fears and unique behaviors, personality traits, most successful environments, and vet or medication information.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
