"For the entire second half of our family dog's life Patricia was our go to caregiver for her, about 5+ years straight I think, and in her later years we wouldn't have considered anyone else when she developed special care needs. Missy was always excited and sorry to leave whenever we pulled up at the front door."
—Austin Morris
"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."
—Krista Pike
"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."
