Dear Patti's Pet Sitting Service, LLC: I once read an article about 'Alex,' a famous African Grey Parrot who was studied for his large vocabulary. His owner/researcher went on vacation and left him with the vet to be kenneled. As she was leaving, Alex said, 'I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I'm sorry.' After reading that story, I often wondered if our dogs ever 'thought' the same thing as they saw us driving away from the kennel. Keeping this in mind, we never stayed out of town for more than two days.
Our dogs are all shelter dogs, and they are happily adjusted in our home. The prospect of taking them to a kennel just didn't sit well with me emotionally. This time, however, my husband and I decided that we needed a longer vacation. But I was somewhat perplexed. Do I take four dogs to the vet for kennel cough shots and drop them off at a kennel? Who will watch the three cats? I had to find a better solution for our animal family.
Sound the trumpets for Patti's Pet Sitting Service! Nancy and Patti made it possible to take a vacation without a care in the world. Our clan could now stay in their home and maintain their normal daily routines. Our German Shepherd, Rose, had unexpected minor surgery a few days before the scheduled trip. I felt confident that, with Patti's love for and experience with animals, she would know how to handle any emergency. We returned home to find the same happy, full-of-life pets we left a week ago. Nancy and Patti made it seem as if we were never gone. --With love and thanks, Jonni and Justin L., Rose, Finnigan, Elie, Daisy Bad-Seed, Jack, Pumpkin, and Stooka

Dear Nancy: Many thanks for looking after Atlas while we were away. We really appreciate your caring attitude and the summary notes you shared with us. We were able to enjoy our trip much more knowing Atlas was in good hands. He seemed to be in great spirits when we came home, and that hasn't always been the case in the past. Again, thank you for all your efforts and best wishes for a Happy New Year. --Linda and Darren W.

Dear Patti's Pet Sitting Service, LLC: I never would have guessed that when we adopted our little 'underweight and timid' Betsy from the rescue shelter that we would ever have any trouble finding someone to take care of her when we went away. But as anyone familiar with dogs who have been abused and/or neglected knows, what you see initially is not always what you get. As our little Betsy worked her way up to a whopping ten pounds, she unleashed a feistiness that scared off one good hearted soul after another. Her behavior, while sweet and fun-loving ninety-five percent of the time, is sometimes unpredictable and could result in a snarl or even a bite. Then along came Patti 'The Pet Whisperer' to the rescue! Patti is the first person, other than my husband and me, to be able to look into Betsy's soul and touch her in a way that she feels safe and secure. I could not believe it when I saw Betsy jump into Patti's lap and lick her face! Patti has spent a lot of her own time developing a relationship with our little Betsy, and we are so grateful to her. She truly has a gift with animals, especially those who received abusive treatment. We are totally confident leaving our pets in Patti's hands! These thoughts are expressed with heartfelt gratitude. --Ann B. and
Betsy (Whoof!)

Dear Patti: Kevin and I want to express our sincere thanks for coming to our rescue on such short notice. We were so grateful that you were able to fit Waldo, Spencer, and Betsy 'The Pitbull' into your busy schedule. I don't know anyone else who could (or would) take care of Betsy like you do. You're so gifted! Thank you, thank you, thank you! --With love, cold noses, and wet kisses, Ann and Kevin B., Betsy, Spencer, and Waldo

Dear Patti: I can't thank you enough for going above and beyond the call of duty as you cared for Molly and Lilly last weekend. Molly is doing better this week after starting her new arthritis medication. I hope I will be able to call you in the near future with good news of two healthy dogs. --Trudy S.

Dear Patti: Please accept my gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful service you provided to Amelia and Mortimer. It is a joy and comfort to have you care for my pets. They are always so contented and relaxed when I come home from business trips--a sure sign they were not stressed out during my absence. Also, I want to thank you for your patience while you prepared the special meals required by Amelia’s senior food plan. I know you were engaged in play with Mortimer much of the time too. This kitty really loves the toy ball racket you brought him. --Heidi S.

Dear Patti: We would like to thank you again for all your hard work and the special attention and care you gave to Caitlyn and J.R. Caitlyn enjoys her daily brushings, and J.R. is having a fit over the red laser light toy that you gave him. We have continued Caitlyn's daily 'laser tag' exercises and J.R. even joins in. We all wish you continued success in your new business endeavor. And should our future needs require the precise and expert services that Patti's Pet Sitting provides, we will definitely think of you first. We hope you were able to enjoy the holidays and wish you a very Happy New Year. --Cindi and Patrick C.
