Hiking Enthusiast with fenced yard
Pet care experience
Energetic and experienced dog owner. I'll play fetch, give your dog belly rubs, and/or walk them around the neighborhood, through the park, or on a hiking trail (whatever they prefer). Along with owning several dogs, I have volunteered over 100 hours at Best Friends Animal Society and have interacted with a range of breeds with different temperaments. My main focus is making sure your furry companion is cared for and has their basic needs met-that they're fed, hydrated, and loved while you are away. Working part-time allows me the flexibility to check on your pet/or walk them in the morning, before 10am, or after 5pm. I am patient with pets who like to enjoy the sunshine on their stroll, but also determined that they heed the commands and guidelines you've set for them while you are away, providing them with a loving home and balanced meal. My car is equipped to transport dogs. So if your furry companion enjoys going on hikes, I am capable of taking them to a hiking spot just a few minutes from me. I like waking up early to do physical activities and your pet is bound to love spending time with me and expending their energy. Please refer to my calendar for the most up to date schedule, but typically I am available during the following days and times: Tuesday: 7am to 8pm Wednesday: 7am to 1pm Thursday : 7am to 1pm Friday: 6am to 4pm
Reviews
Patty is a wonderful dog caregiver (and person). She has watched our Great Dane Layla for us and has done a terrific job taking care of her. She plays with her and is sensitive to all of her needs . She gives us regular updates including pictures and videos. Layla loves her. It is so reassuring to know we can leave Layla with someone who is so loving and caring 💙 Amy and Richard K.
Patty was excellent. She took care of my two shih tzus while I was away. Patty stayed in touch with me by providing pictures and videos letting me know the welfare of my dogs. Patty did an awesome job with both of my dogs, I was particularly concerned about my 17 year old since he has special needs but, Patty managed to take care of him and providing his meds. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs and home in Patty's hands. She is amazing and will use her services in the future. Thank you Patty!!!
Patty is amazing with our dogs - she stayed over night and watched them. She sends us videos and pictures to let us know what they are up to and also gives our older dogs the attention needed - particularly with giving them the medicine needed and affection. Also, Patty always made sure to leave the light on when she was gone after dark (good with the winter time change) and to turn on the radio whenever the dogs were home alone.
Patty watched our three small dogs (2 shih tsu and a Heinz 57) for two nights. She stayed at our home, where our dogs are most comfortable, and made sure they were fed, watered, loved, and had their meds. She also cleaned up the occasional indoor potty mess from one of our dogs. Patty sent daily photos of the puppies and updates. She also was a great house guest. The dogs love her and you can really tell her love of animals. We have already booked Patty for our next out of town trip and would definitely recommend her in house pet sitting services for your furry friends.

Tell me: their likes? their dislikes? Any behaviors I should pay particular attention to? (e.g. anxiety, fear, tender spots, etc)
A typical day
I understand that each furry companion has their own unique personality and I will do my best to meet their preferences. If your dog is more active, I'm only a short 5 minute drive from a hiking spot (with trails that vary from 1/2 mile to 5 miles long. I could also take them on a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood. If your dog enjoys more of the leisure life, I'd be happy to spoil them with lots of petting, toys to chew, and a comfy spot to lay on. I'm open to communicating on how I could make my time spent with your pet the best.
