Patti's Pet Sitting Service, LLC
This Web site is dedicated to the memory of my beloved Babe. Her love, companionship and camaraderie, and beauty graced my life for fifteen wonderful years. She was a joy to behold!
Patti and Babe
Patti Sheehan retired from Delta Airlines after accruing the benefits of more than 29 years of solid professional customer service and employee relations experience in the airline industry. She was the proud recipient of 15 prestigious sales and customer service awards during her distinguished career. One of Patti's proximate goals at the time was to open her own pet-sitting business. With skill and respect, the Ludlow, Kentucky resident now takes care of cats and dogs with emphasis on pet sitting, dog walking, dog training, and pet transportation.
There is a special sensitivity and concern at the human level that contributes to Patti's many selfless efforts and her untiring devotion to animals. Hence no workday routine is ordinary despite the regular or customary course of things. Real excitement abounds with the anticipation of coddling her best friends. "I take care of pets for clients who are on vacation or for those persons who work long hours each day. Many people hire me because they don't want to settle for doggie daycare or board their pets in a kennel. I take the animals out for walks and play with them in their familiar surroundings. My clientele and their cherished companions are from the Greater Cincinnati metropolitan area. Most of my clients live within a 50-mile radius of my home. I am also the pet sitter on site at the international airport for Delta. Because of customs imposts and procedures and/or inclement weather problems, there are some animals that will have to stay overnight. They need to be fed and walked (as they are usually stressed) and their cages need to be cleaned. I am on call primarily during weekday evening hours and on weekends for this purpose. As a responsible and caring pet owner and advocate for many years, I feel very fortunate indeed to be operating my own business. Call me at your convenience if I can be of assistance to you. Please join Greater Cincinnati Pet Sitters and support the positive advantages of shelter pet adoption."
Patti is professionally affiliated with Pet Sitters International (PSI), the leader and pacesetter for the professional pet-sitting industry, and the veterinarian accredited International Vet Transport Association for Animals (IVETAA). She is registered with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a certified ground transporter for pet relocation and transportation. Patti has also completed requisite training and proficiency requirements for Pet First Aid and emergency care procedures with the American Red Cross.

Owners Should Practice a Regular Schedule of Good Pet Dental Health Care
STILLWATER, Okla.—We celebrate National Pet Dental Health Month in February, but the Oklahoma State University Center for Veterinary Health Sciences wants you to remember the importance of daily oral health care for your pets throughout the entire year.
Oral health is an important part of your animal's overall good health. The American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS) recommends that your pet receives regular, professional dental care from your veterinarian as well as care from you at home.
Here are three basic steps the AVDS suggests you follow:
- Take your pet to the veterinarian for a dental exam.
- Begin a dental care regime at home.
- Schedule regular veterinary checkups to monitor progress of your pet's dental health routine.
A veterinarian can suggest dental health care such as brushing your pet's teeth with toothpaste made for animals. Do not use people toothpaste.
Another effective method is feeding specially formulated foods proven effective in combating plaque and tartar buildup. The Seal of Acceptance from the Veterinary Oral Health Council, an organization started by the AVDS, appears on products that meet defined standards for plaque and tartar control in dogs and cats.
Don't wait for your pet's annual checkup if you think there is a problem. Signs of oral and dental diseases in dogs and cats include: bad breath, loose teeth or teeth covered in tartar, your pet shies away when you touch his or her mouth area, drooling or dropping food from the mouth, bleeding from the mouth, or loss of appetite or weight. The OSU Veterinary Center community practice clinicians encourage all pet owners to maintain a dental healthcare program for their best friends.
This dental care reminder was originally published by the Oklahoma State University Center for Veterinary Health Sciences. It is reprinted with permission from the OSU-CVHS Office of Public Relations, Marketing and Alumni Affairs.
Human Foods that Poison Pets
Before you rush to give leftovers and table scraps to your favorite furry friend, remember that certain human foods can poison or even kill animals. Dr. Cam Day warns owners about chocolate, onions and garlic, macadamia nuts, and other foods that "contain chemicals which rarely cause problems for humans, but for dogs, these same chemicals can be deadly." Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Pet Sitters urge you to read this article for lifesaving information.
Protecting Animals
AMERICAN HUMANE CONFERENCES and TRAININGS
One of the important ways American Humane helps protect animals is by educating and training people how to provide the best animal care possible. Throughout the year, we host trainings and conferences nationwide for animal welfare professionals and for all people who love animals and want to make a difference in their well-being.
Leadership Development Program
This program was developed in partnership with the Society of Animal Welfare Administrators to provide essential training for career advancement in the animal welfare field.
Animal Welfare Trainings
From basic shelter operations to advanced euthanasia, American Humane's animal welfare trainings teach the knowledge and skills needed in the shelter environment.
Animal Emergency Services Trainings
Anyone who loves animals and is passionate about their well-being in the event of a disaster or emergency can benefit from American Humane's animal-handling training.
Human-Animal Bond Trainings
American Humane's trainings on animal-assisted therapy and The Link® Between Violence to People and Animals help students explore the relationship between people and pets.
American Humane is the only national organization dedicated to protecting both children and animals. For more information about the classes, email us at aestraining@americanhumane.org or call us at 303-925-9461.
Must find a new home quickly because of husband's allergies
We are looking for an adoptive, loving, and safe environment for two cats. Both pets are healthy and neutered and they have just gotten their shots. They will come with all the supplies they need. They have always lived indoors and are very easy to care for. The cats can go together or separately.
Barney Buddy
Barney--The Entertainer Barney loves to play as often as you want to, especially with string. If you find yourself down at his eye level, he likes to look at you with his nose about an inch from your face to say hello. He also likes to brush your hair. He is loaded with personality!
Buddy--The Cuddler Buddy is slower at catching the string than his brother, so give him a little advantage. He always purrs the minute he sees you. He loves to have his face petted. He also loves stretching, so hold him on his back as you would a baby, and he will stretch his arms over his head upside down. He is a charmer!
