Pet Care & Training​

Patricia Denton blends her entrepreneurial spirit with her love for all creatures great and small, creating a nurturing environment for both animals and their caretakers. She is a multi-credentialed Pet Sitter and a Karen Pryor Academy certified training partner (KPA-CTP). She is committed to the intergenerational responsibility of cultivating ethical and responsible pet care. She recognizes that the Dog Training and Pet Sitting industries lack regulation, which places a greater emphasis on the need for pet care professionals to pursue ongoing education and certifications. By prioritizing these values, Denton embraces the evolving standards for excellence in pet care.​
