“Patricia was a great dog sitter for our Gracie. Gracie was well cared for and had a blast playing with Patricia’s dogs Gila and Cedar. Gracie came back to us happy, content and tired! We could tell she had a lot of fun and attention. Patricia has a big yard and good dog sense and I wouldn’t hesitate to board Gracie there again.”
“We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter on Rover! Our dog Homer was absolutely spoiled with love and care while staying with her. She took him on walks twice a day, gave him plenty of belly rubs, and he had full access to her large backyard—which he loved. He also got along great with her dog, which made the experience even better. When we came to pick him up, he was so happy and relaxed… honestly, he looked a little reluctant to leave! It was clear he felt right at home. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for treating Homer like one of your own!”
“Chandra was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Spock, sent pictures, and update texts everyday! She was very responsive when trying to get our dates set up, and she made the drop off and pick up process very easy! I think Spock is still a little sad he had to leave Chandra's house. I will definitely book with Chandra again!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life including Great Danes, cats, bunnies, gerbils, fish and have been dog and cat sitting professionally for 5 years. Recently I lived and worked on a thousand-acre farm caring for cows, horses and goats, doing everything from feeding, cleaning and even bottle feeding. Bottom line is I love pets, and would love to meet your four-legged family members!! I currently work from my computer so I am very mobile and happy to be flexible with scheduling, etc. I love spending time with all animals so I make it a priority to fit this kind of work in. *If you have multiple pets and my site is quoting a large number for your sitting request, please know I am happy to look closer and find a good price for all! If I am giving care at your home my number one priority is your animal’s safety. That’s best implemented by focusing on your (the owner’s) rules and daily routines. Once I establish that, I focus on creating a special bond with your pet—it’s like they’re getting a new friend. If I’m boarding at my house my number one priority is to create a new and special routine that reflects their home routine but with new special elements. I have a very large yard and a safe neighborhood to take pets on walks, and as long as they are happy sharing space with a cat we have a really good time!
