I've known Patti for many years and I trust her implicitly with our four dogs. They all adore her, even my Chow mix, who only likes a handful of people. I never worry when we are away, as I know our girls are in good hands! Patti truly goes above and beyond the call of duty. One one occasion we went away while our house was for sale. Patti let in several potential buyers and their realtors and kept our dogs entertained and out of sight while the house was being shown. I would recommend her to anyone!
