Qualifications
Ratings and 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.
Patti is absolutely amazing! I'm writing this review to show my appreciation for her dedication and consistency throughout the past few months. Otherwise, I want to keep her away from everyone else, so our dog Miso can have Patti all to herself. Joking aside, she is very prompt with her responses, and she is very detailed in her rover reports after the drop-in visits. Despite the requested service being only the "drop-in visits," she went out of her way to take our dog for a short walk, which we really appreciated. It's very clear that our dog is much calmer on the days that Patti stops by (Importance of walking your dog). For anyone who's looking for an excellent dog sitter, look no further (but please do walk away because we need her for our dog :P).
Patti is a wonderful pet sitter in every respect!

Schedule
Summer 2026: (May 5-July 6) While working part-time as a third-year pharmacy intern, I will be visiting family, but I can Rover as well and mostly on weekdays. Please contact me if you are interested in utilizing my services, even if you need a weekend day (Friday-Sunday)—I might be able to squeeze you in! The earlier you reach out, the better. Thanks!!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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!
Pets
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)!
