Patty’s Bio
Hello. I am a retired mother of three grown children. I am a very upbeat, optimistic, caring and nurturing person. I have 11 years’ experience working in an elementary school helping children from the ages of 6 through 12. When budget cuts necessitated the excessing of that position, I became a part-time pharmacy tech. While I was not working at the pharmacy, I helped my friend care for his elderly mother, 4 days a week, for six years. She was an absolute delight. I so enjoyed taking her to dinner or a show. One of her favorite things to do was shopping, which I happily obliged as it is one of my favorite past times as well. I helped her with her medication, bathing and basically anything else that she needed assistance with. The people who I have had the privilege of caring for have enriched my life, and I look forward to the opportunity to provide companion care again. I will happily provide references upon request.

Patty was phenomenal!!! She bonded instantly with my cat, Daisy, who can be very stand-offish with new people. I could tell right away that she LOVED animals and my cat would be in great hands while I was away. She went above and beyond by offering to bring in the mail and water my plants! She also took it upon herself to clean the water dish and food bowls (which I didn't ask her to do). Patty texted me a video or pic everyday while I was away. She is a fantastic pet sitter and I know Daisy enjoyed seeing her while I was away!
I was hesitant to hire someone I did not know to come into my house and watch my brand new puppy but with my work situation I didn't have a choice. All hesitancy went away when I met Patty and saw how loving and caring she was towards Phoebe after just minutes of meeting her. My work weeks are made better through text updates, pictures, and videos of their time together. Most importantly, Phoebe loves her and I know she is in good hands every morning and afternoon!
Highly recommend Patty!
Let me just start off by saying: WOW! We couldn't have found a better sitter for our house and our furry family. Our dog and cat both took to Patty as soon as she walked into our house. We felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. She gave great updates some even with video while we were gone. If you are looking for a sitter that will care for you pets and property without the drama, then call Patty!
Patty is the perfect pet sitter for our dogs. During our meet-n-greet, we were immediately impressed by her friendly, caring, and compassionate nature. She was patient towards Rocky and Odin’s reactive behavior/separate anxiety. She also went above and beyond and offered to visit our dogs before our trip! We were so relieved that our dogs were able to warm up to her easily.
During our trip, she kept us updated through text. She took our dogs for walks, made sure they ate, and gave them equal love. We felt comfortable knowing we could trust her in our home. Thanks to Patty, we were able to have a more relaxing vacation! We would highly recommend her to anyone!
I hired Patty to stay in my home for 7 days to stay with my needy Chihuahua and 2 crazy Cats. She was everything I could ask for! During the interview process and I'm sure during her stay she was so loving and attentive to my fur-babies! She also took great care of the house. She's such a good person too, I'll be very happy to hire her again because I know I can rest easy and she will do a great job. My pets were very calm, comfortable, and happy when I got home, and that says a lot!
