Patricia

My name is Patricia, I am a 24 y.o hybrid work from home adult with 2 fur kids myself looking to share the joy of training, progressing and caring for other fur friends out there. 

My love for dogs first came when I was younger and ever since then it has been growing. I adopted my dearest Singapore Special, Jerry from MettaCats and Dogs Sanctuary and have hands on experience in nurturing timid and as well as reactive dogs. 

From personal experience, I am proud to say that my once timid dog has progressed in more ways than one and his manja personality shines through it all. Following my journey with my rescue, I hope to apply the knowledge that I have learnt to other potential rescues or dogs that are going through the same journey, or even to just bring some joy to their lifestyle. 

I have prior experience in volunteering at Metta and also assisted in walking fellow fur friends of my rescue. I am well-versed in the handling of both large and small dogs (My partner's family dog is a husky) and actively train both dogs weekly.

With my hybrid work arrangement, on my work from home days I am able to walk dogs, do home visits as well as house-sit. 

My walks are expected to last about 30-40min, of which 20min is walking and leash training and the remaining time will be spent playing and potential training on new tricks/ continuing their existing training. I am able to do mornings and afternoons, and on occasion evening and will do it along the neighborhood of your place.

Similarly for house visits and house-sitting, after feeding and cleaning after your dog, I will spend 30-40min for walking and training. In the meantime, I am able to do other adhoc chores if needed at extra costs with discussion. However for house-sitting, I am able to stay 3-4hrs around feeding time and will check up regularly if need be. I am familiar with the appropriate security measures and will ensure all doors are locked, windows are closed if not left slightly ajar in the case of rain and ensure all window grills are secure if applicable. 

Because I have 2 dogs myself that are on active deworming and flea treatment, I will only take in dogs that are on the same treatment unless for dog walks only! 

I look forward to connecting with more fur families!
