I have a fenced yard and a very friendly boy that will react to your dog's needs. He is calm when a senior or puppy is around, he's playful when a dog wants to play, and can just lounge as well. He's been around about 100 dog's and has never had issues with any of them! And we've had all breeds, sizes and ages.

Information Patty R. would like to know about your pet

When boarding, I need to know if your dog is a Houdini escape artist! That way, I will not take my eyes off of them for one second!

A typical day

I love going for walks, so as long as they are up for several a day, we are good! Unless of course there's a health issue, then a pull in the wagon on a pillow will work!

Pet care experience

I have been working with animals my whole life, almost 50 years. I worked for a pet distributor for years, under a vets supervision monthly, caring for animals. I've volunteered at many shelters. I've been a kennel attendant at my local vet for the past two years. I can care for any type of animal. I have dog, cat, fish, reptile, bird and small animal experience. No animal is to big, too small or too slimy for me. I enjoy working with animals very much. My full time job is a School bus driver, so I have hours in between runs off, nights and weekends off as well as most major Holidays, and I have the entire summer off as well! My children are grown, I have 10 grandchildren now. I like going for walks, a day with your dog will be fun we can play in the yard, go for a walk, we can even walk down to the lake and put our feet in!

Patty took great care of my boys. She is truly an animal lover. I could tell my senior deaf dog bonded with her and was very well cared for.

Patti really knows what she is doing and takes pride in that fact. She could not possibly give better care to your pet and I appreciate what she does
