About me

As a native Tucsonan who returned in 2024 after spending time in San Diego, where I successfully operated my pet sitting service, Urban Critters, for over a decade, I bring a wealth of experience to the West Tucson community. With a background as a Veterinary Technician, I have extensive knowledge in animal care, particularly with senior and chronically ill pets. I feel a deep connection to all of our animal friends and am excited to offer my services to my Tucson neighbors!

Patti was amazing with my puppy. She saved us when I needed someone to watch our Yorkie last minute. She came by to meet him first and then stopped by to feed/walk/play with him when we arranged his schedule. She took pics and sent me texts to make me feel at ease. Would highly recommend!!!

Patti Golder (owner/operator) is absolutely professional, responsible, reliable and anything any pet owner could possibly ask for in a sitter. She has done daily walks for various of my dogs, and helped me raise my last puppy.

I care a lot for my cat, Sweets, and, when I’m gone, I want a cat-sitter that cares for my cat as much as I do. Patti Golder is that cat-sitter. She has gone beyond the call of duty to spend quality time with my cat in addition to taking care of the food and litter. Unlike previous cat-sitters, Patti came over twice a day to check on my sweetheart and spend time petting and combing her. My cat is very social so I was pleased with the attention Patti provided. She also sent me pictures of Sweets along with an email update on her. Whenever I go away, Patti is the first person I contact because I have trust that she will give my special cat the care that she deserves.

My partner and I highly recommend Patti. She takes care of our dog three times a week and we have been so impressed with her. We have 100% confidence that she is taking great care of our Diesel. We especially like the picture text sent every time during the dog walk and the written summary she leaves at the end of her visit. Patti is the best!

I can now go on vacation and not feel like a bad cat-momma. I can count on Patti to take care of my cats with food, fresh water and litter, and lots of tummy rubs. Thanks Patti!

I highly recommend Patti. She took care of my pets while I was on vacation and treated them like they were her own. It's apparent Patti loves animals and my pets loved her.
