“Our pampered little dog does not do well in standard doggie day care or boarding facilities. He needs personal time with people. With Patty’s service, we had the option for her to come to our house and spend time with him, take him for walks, and even the occasional car ride if it fit in with the rest of her daily activities. She also spends the nights at our house, letting the dog sleep with her (which he is used to unfortunately), and gives him his meds. Plus, she provided regular text updates on how he is doing. This gives us the added bonus of someone keeping an eye on the house while we are away – giving us peace of mind to enjoy our vacation! ”

“We have been trusting Patty to watch over our furry kids for the past year now. We have a full house of pets including 4 dogs, two of which have behavioral issues and have to be kept apart from each other and one that is paralyzed. Patty takes amazing care of all of them, juggles their various issues and personalities and cares for them as if they were her own fur babies. We are able to travel and adventure knowing the kids are in such great hands! In addition to how well she treats the furry pets, she is very responsive and communicative. We can’t recommend her strongly enough!”

“We have used Patty for several years. She is very efficient and my cats LOVE her. When we come home they act like they never noticed we left. She loves on each and every one of them…We had 4 cats and a bunny…and even my cranky old man cat came out for her. She is so flexible with scheduling it makes everything easier. Patty is wonderful! ”

“Patty has been absolutely amazing! Our dog Remi absolutely enjoys her walks and visits each week. We highly recommend Ponderosa Patty to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and caring pet sitter. She has been a lifesaver with our extremely busy work hours.”

“Patty is absolutely the best caretaker for our large number of animals we have on this small farm. She has given all of them great care and we feel very comfortable leaving them in her hands when we are out of town. We have 5 horses, 3 cats, 3 chickens, 2 dogs and a handicapped large tortoise as well as a few bee hives. Patty walks the dogs as well as feeding and watering all the animals. I feel very comfortable with her knowledge and skill as an animal caretaker and my dogs love her! She sends us pictures of all of them too which we love! Thank you Patty!!”

“I live in Arizona and owned a vacant home in Spokane Valley. I am so grateful to have found Patty to house sit. She looked after my home, made recommendations, ran errands to purchase supplies, made some repairs herself and has facilitated necessary repairs and improvements so that I could get the home on the market. She texted me photos of work in progress and cared for my home as if it were her own! Being in Real Estate myself for the past 40 years, I know that Patty understands what is necessary to care for a vacant home so the pipes don’t freeze and no one breaks in. Patty’s work ethics has given me a sense of security and relieved my stress significantly, knowing my home was in good hands. Patty’s services enabled me to sell my home quickly without having to be there myself. I couldn’t have done this without her!”
