Dogpatch Canine B&B | Sit & Stay

Pet care experience

DROP-OFF/PICK-UP TIMES: 7:30-9:30 11AM-12:30 and 4PM-6Pm Over the years I have loved and raised many dogs purebred and mixed breeds. I spent more than 30 years boarding and training Hunter and Jumper show horses on a national level, dogs came with us to the horse shows. My horse customers owned dogs as well and would bring them to the horse shows, dog care, and safety became a natural extension of my business. When I retired from the horse business and moved to Florida I thought about opening a bed and breakfast, but my home and background are far better suited to dog care, I don't cook people food. I have rarely met a dog I did not like, small medium or large, from Miniature dachshunds, Corgis to Labradors, Shepherds and mixed breeds. The dogs that are here under my care are kept on their normal schedule as closely as possible. I feed the dogs twice a day and I am here with them on a full-time basis. My yard is fully fenced my dog is friendly with all dogs and a great play pal when the dogs are outside I am outside with them

I had a last minute cancellation of previous pet sitter and Vickie H agreed to take my two doxies for an overnight stay. It was an easy drop off , an easy pick up and my girls seemed to enjoy their stay. Thanks for everything... next time I am in a pinch I will definitely use her again.

First time visit with Vickie, but believe Carmella may have enjoyed her vacation with a fellow pet lover. Vickie provided excellent communication and pushed above the call due to flight delay. I appreciate her service.
