Pet care experience

Elk Grove Village Dog Boarder

I am an avid pet lover and have had many dogs and cats over the past ~30 years. While raising my daughter, we had two cats and two dogs (Shitzu and Lhasa Apso), which we loved dearly. my latest dog Ralphie, passed away a couple of years ago. He unfortunately turned blind when he was just three, so I have extensive experience with senior dogs, and those with disabilities. Currently, I love to pet sit for my daughter’s dog, Scotch, in NY any chance I get. I love taking care of animals during the weekends or on my free time. I’m looking to pet-sit dogs in my home (primarily overnights and weekends). I live alone and don't currently have a pet. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Patty has always done an incredible job taking care of my dog Chloe and she sends so many wonderful pictures and anecdotes about her during her entire stay that I never feel like I don’t know what’s going on.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 2 bedroom condo with direct access to the outdoors along the golf course. Indoor space is ample for small dogs to run around inside, and my back area and neighborhood are very safe, quiet, and well separated from any main roads.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs by playing fetch, and catch, as well as stimulating them mentally by utilizing lick mats, snuflle matts, and brain games/puzzles.
