I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own. I downsized to a condo in Chattanooga recently after almost 30 years of home ownership, working, volunteering and raising children and pets with my spouse of 30 years. My spouse is still working, so I am house and pet sitting on my own for now to see if it is something we want to continue in retirement. I adore animals, and I enjoy fitness, the outdoors, hiking and yoga.
I am excited to meet and care for your home and sweet fur babies.
I hope to do a few short term sits that are in easy driving distance from home before venturing further out. I would love to video chat to hear how I can best exceed your expectations in caring for your home and your furry family members.

Greetings! My name is Patti. I am 58 years young and the retired half of a happily married couple of 30 years. My spouse Greg works remotely in IT for a fortune 5 healthcare company from our condo in Chattanooga, TN. We recently downsized from a large home and pool in the Dallas, Tx area where we raised three amazing children and several sweet fur babies. Our grown kids are now working and residing in three different states and we currently have no pets.

Professionally I have worn many hats from IT Consulting to instructing yoga with major volunteer positions as Mom, PTA President and Band Booster President. More relevant to pet sitting, I spent many years volunteering at a local animal shelter and as a foster for area animal rescue organizations.

Patti and Greg did a great job under the worst possible circumstances: Hurricane Helene ripped through the area, knocking out power, water, internet and cell service. It took me an extra day to get home but they had left food and water for the cats and the house was as clean as possible. Plus the cats were completely calm, indicating they’d been well cared for. Patti and Greg also sent updates on routes in and out of NC whenever they could. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We were happy to have Patti return for a second sit here with Tiger and Grizzy. It was clear the kitties happily enjoyed having her there and the house was left in good order. Patti communicated well with us before, during and after the sit. We all will look forward to having her back again.
We cannot thank Patti and Greg enough! They were perfect to being able to leave our house and cat for 2 weeks on a much needed getaway after our family pet suddenly passed . From the beginning they made us feel comfortable. They kept in contact throughout our trip with any updates. Took us to and from the airport and had a meal ready upon our return. Our home was left near and tidy. Our Millie cat loved them. Trustworthy, reliable, friendly, genuine. We hope to welcome them back again!

While this was Patti's first official housesit, she made us feel comfortable from the start of our interview and we were excited about choosing her. We very much appreciated the attention she gave to reviewing our "Kittensittin' Bible" before arriving and being fully engaged in the in-home training time we had. We enjoyed spending time with her the night before we left and the kitties quickly seemed happy with our choice. All this, coupled with her good communication, allowed us to feel very ...

We enjoyed spending time with her the night before we left and the kitties quickly seemed happy with our choice. All this, coupled with her good communication, allowed us to feel very comfortable and confident while we were away. We returned to find our kitties, our indoor plants and our home had been very well cared for. We are eager to have Patti back for another sit and even hope to make our paths cross to have fun as friends.
