About My Business

Patricia Denton (KPA-CTP, CPPS)

Denton is the proud owner and founder of Velvet Boops - Pet Care & Training. She is a fiercely gentle entrepreneur, who is a compassion and inclusion advocate. Her business, self-care, interrelationships, and activism all play an important and equal role in the balance of her intentional lifestyle, allowing her to lead with authenticity and integrity. 

Denton is committed to the intergenerational responsibility of promoting ethical and responsible pet care. She recognizes that the Dog Training and Pet Sitting industries lack regulation, which places a greater emphasis the need for pet care professionals to pursue ongoing education and certifications. By prioritizing these values, Denton aims to set a standard for excellence in pet care.

What my clients say:

"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

"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! "

—Shauna Crate

"Patricia is an incredible soul who made a lasting impact on both my dog, Maverick, and me during our time in Calgary. The love, care, and attention she gave him was truly special—and a big part of our journey. I’m beyond grateful for the time she spent with Mav; it gave him joy, comfort, and unforgettable memories.

Even now, as Maverick thrives in his new home, I can still see the imprint she left on him. Her connection with animals is truly heartfelt, and her presence brought so much peace and happiness into our lives. I couldn't recommend her more to anyone seeking someone who genuinely loves and understands dogs. From the bottom of my heart—thank you, Patricia."
