About Patti W.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
As a diligent and trustworthy, educated graduate student, I’m organized and clean while caring for my client’s pet(s). You can count on me to be there for you and your furry friends! I am an honest, respectful, and responsible worker. If you have specific ways you care for your pet, I will follow it as directed. I always take pictures of your pet(s) and send to you for updates of course!
Information Patti W. would like to know about your pet
Some important information I need to know about a dog ahead of time includes: any allergies they may have, medications they may take, what times of day they usually eat and what kind of food and how much they eat, if they get along with other dogs and/or if the owner wants them to be around other dogs or not (important if taking them to a dog park for example), if they have a special leash/collar they use (example: harness for a dog), and if are up-to-date on their rabies vaccination/vet check-ups.
A typical day
I bring treats with me while walking dogs and work on certain tricks in between walking such as sit, shake, and lay down as appropriate. I take dogs for car rides if they like that (and get them an occasional “pup cup” treat from Starbucks or Dutch Bros with the owner’s permission of course)! Also, I will take dogs to parks for walks for stimulation and play in a different scene (with owner’s permission for car rides/travel/other scenery). I play with all pets with whatever their favorite toys are, such as fetch with pup(s) and chase-the-feather-on-a-stick with cat(s)!

Reviews
Patti took great care of our kitty Lychee! He needs medication every 12h and he’s pretty skittish. She was very patient chasing him to grab him and gently giving him his oral meds. She also got along super well with our other kitty Mochi who is very shy, she was even able to pet both of them. We’ll definitely book her again when we’re out of town to check on them or to give meds!!
Patti was amazing with our pups! We are in town for a wedding and she saved the day puppy sitting for us. They loved her.
12/10!!! Patti has been an absolute lifesaver for us! She goes above and beyond during her check-ins with our dogs, not only giving them their frozen enrichment toys but also taking the initiative to clean the toys and make sure their water bowl is always full, all without us even asking. She has been reliable, communicative, and genuinely loves our dogs. Her attention to detail gives us so much peace of mind!! We’re so grateful for her and couldn’t recommend Patti more!
Patti is great. She loves our puppies as much as we do. She is the best and we appreciate all she does for us.
