My name is Patrisha – it’s lovely to meet you! I’m originally from Germany but I love to call New York City my home now. I now live in Astoria, Queens, with my partner, and we have been enjoying getting to know the neighborhood and the city together!

While I haven’t had a dog of my own yet, I have always loved animals and have spent much of my life caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets. Over the years, I have helped with everything from regular neighborhood walks and drop-ins to longer, multi-day stays. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take their care and well-being very seriously 🙂

Growing up in Germany, I was raised with the saying, “Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Kleidung” — there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. I’m happy to get outside in rain, snow, or sunshine, and I’m always up for a good walk with your pup and some time exploring the city!

I’m excited to be joining the RuffCity family and look forward to getting to know you and your pets, keeping them happy and well cared for, and hopefully becoming someone you can rely on.
