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:

"Patricia has looked after our 2 boxers for years and years now. She is like a member of the family, and beloved by both pups and us. Her calm, loving (but firm) approach with dogs is welcomed and appreciated. Our pups have stayed with her countless times, always loving her care, tutelage and safe, clean and happy home in which to live.
Words can't express how grateful we are to her for caring for our dogs so well - they always love going to stay with Patricia!
You cannot find a better 'vacation home' for your doggos. "

—Douglas Gray

"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."
