Pet care experience

Retired "Dog Mom"

I’ve cared for my own fur babies for the past 15 years—from playful puppy days to their sweet golden years—and I’ve loved every stage. Now that I’m recently retired, I spend lots of time with my two pups, Piney and Blossom, but I still have plenty of love, energy, and attention to share. I enjoy being outdoors, walking, and staying active, and I’d be thrilled to share that with your four‑legged family member. I have hands-on experience with puppy training as well as providing extra support and gentle care for senior dogs. All of our dogs joined our family as puppies, and several required daily medication. Our oldest, Pogo, had heart issues as a pup, and I cared for her throughout her life—managing her medication and making sure she had every comfort she needed as she aged. I truly believe animals give unconditional love and are the best mood boosters at the end of a long day. I’d be honored to share that same love and care with your furry family member.

Patty is an excellent pet caregiver. She has taken care of my young Australian Shepherd, 2 parakeets and goldfish on numerous occasions. With two dogs of her own she understands the needs, responsibility and sometimes challenges having a pet can be. Patty is very organized and dependable. Having pets that I consider part of my family it gives me great comfort in knowing that they are in Patty's care when I am not home.

Schedule

I’m retired, up early every day, and stay active by walking and playing with my two dogs. I’m looking to share that same energy, attention, and love with additional pups who would enjoy extra companionship and outdoor time.

Safety, trust & environment

My yard is fully fenced, and I always clean up right away after potty breaks to keep the space safe and tidy. At home, I keep fresh water available on both floors so my pups can stay hydrated wherever they choose to relax. For senior dogs or those who need a little extra help, I have a ramp and dog steps so they can comfortably get onto the couch or bed and feel right at home. I will provide the same services and dedication to your home and dog(s)

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy throughout the day. Whether it’s going on relaxed neighborhood walks, exploring nearby trails, playing fetch in the yard, or enjoying a good game of tug, I make sure pups get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I also enjoy quieter activities like brushing, practicing simple training cues, puzzle toys, or just relaxing together for snuggles and companionship. My goal is always to match each dog’s personality and energy level so they feel comfortable, stimulated, and loved.

I like to learn a few key things ahead of time so I can make every dog feel comfortable and cared for. It helps to know their personality—whether they’re shy, social, playful, or a little nervous—as well as any fears or sensitivities they may have. I also appreciate understanding their daily routine, like feeding times, bathroom habits, walk preferences, and where they like to sleep. Health details such as allergies, medications, or mobility needs are important too, along with their vet contact for peace of mind. Knowing the commands they respond to, any house rules, and their favorite toys or comfort items helps me keep things consistent and familiar.
