About My Business

Patricia Denton (KPA-CTP, CPPS)

What my clients say:

"We heard about Patricia from our good friends who had used her services before, she watched our dog Hugo while we went away for our wedding. Leaving your dog with a new sitter is always nerve wracking but she made sure to take him for a day ahead of time to make sure that everyone was comfortable which made us so much more at ease. To say she did an amazing job while we were gone was an understatement, we got TONS of photos of our Hugo having fun with the other dogs and getting all the snuggles. She was in constant communication and it was obvious that Hugo was very comfortable there. Patricia was meant to do this and I would 1000% use her again if she didn’t move away! "

"I am so glad to hear you are re establishing there in BC as you are so wonderful at what you do-they don’t know how lucky they are to have you! Gus stayed with you many times in Calgary and you and Ken are still two of his very favourite people-we both miss you so much. Patricia is so knowledgeable, experienced, kind, warm, and Gus loved coming to stay with you. I always felt very safe and secure knowing Gus was with you and appreciated the level of communication I received while he was in your care. You both hold a very special place in our hearts and anyone who connects with you with their pets there is so lucky! "

—Jenna Watson

"I’ve had the pleasure of using Patricia’s services multiple times, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. As first-time dog parents, we were nervous about trusting anyone to care for our rescue pup—but wow, we struck gold when we found Patricia.

She showed an incredible amount of compassion for our girl—gentle, patient, and kind in a way I honestly didn’t think anyone but us could be. She met our dog exactly where she was, with the understanding and care needed to help rebuild her trust in people.

Patricia’s knowledge, patience (with both pets and humans—lol), and thoughtful guidance made all the difference. She’s a rare gem, and we’re so grateful we found her. Any pet (and pet parent) would be lucky to have her in their corner."
