Living a Life Full of Pets

My love for pets began where I grew up in Lancaster, CA. At a very early age, my parents bought us two sweet little guinea pigs that we named Alexander and Daisy. One looked like an orange creamsicle and the other was a tuxedo.

Growing up, my brothers and I would sneak stray cats into our house. My dad said he "didn't like cats" but Church, a shorthair Russian Blue, easily won him over. Hazel, a long-haired fluff monster also snuck her way into the family. My dad was a tall '50s man from the east coast who had owned dogs so it's always been in my blood.

While living in Santa Cruz, CA, we had a senior Calico named Emeline that we adopted at a local shelter. Then there was Salem, a beautiful tabby. After she passed, we adopted Mica, who was a highly intelligent Calico and Abyssinian mix. That girl was always about her zoomies in our home. Dwarf hamsters also were part of our fur babies our tiny apartment. It was a blast watching them stuff their cheeks and make fluffy homes. So adorbs!

Adopting From Oregon Human Society

Around 2006, we moved to Portland, OR to be closer to our family. My sister-in-law was working at Oregon Human Society and we adopted Pedro, a long-haired Russian Blue. We liked to call him "Puppy" because he loved fetching small rolled-up pieces of paper.

My sister-in-law had an adorable tripod dog named Scooby who was so kind and gentle. Every time, I saw that pup, he was always happy and full of joy. I learned a lot from that boy. My family would help them out and would board him (and her other dogs) regularly at our house. That's when my love for dogs really blossomed.

We also started boarding dogs at our house three years ago through Rover. Business took off in early summer of 2021 and that's when I left their platform. A few months later, I launched Pooch Patrol LLC so we could focus on caring for rescues, seniors, and anxious dogs - and special needs dogs.

We're expanding our locations to include beautiful and serene Brookings, OR. The ocean has always been my happy place and a dream destination to live (and work). There's tons of loving pet owners in the area and not many professional providers. So that's where I'm focusing on overnight home sitting with pets, dog walking and training, dog and cat drop-in visits.

Our family of pooches and kitties continues to grow and I am so grateful to be outside everyday, hanging out, and having fun with your furbabies. I love this type of work so much 😎 and warms my heart.
