Patty went above and beyond for our little fur family and we are so grateful to her. The care, love, energy and expertise she has on all things cats radiates through all that she does for her boarders. Our kitties came home calm, happy and healthy after two stays at the palace, as we like to call it. Highly recommend!
Patty is involved with the PANT program that assists with spay/neuter feral cats. Patty was instrumental in locating a foster home for 3 feral kittens. You can tell she is very passionate about animals. If I ever need her Pet Palace expertise, you can be sure sure I will seek her out. Her location is a very warm inviting house that is extremely clean. You could feel the love and compassion she passes on to her four legged guests.
We had a couple negative experiences boarding our dog while on vacation in the past and did some exhaustive research to find a safe place. We found Patty’s and after having visited there and talking with the owner, we were confident we found the right place. We have a big dog, and he’s got plenty energy to spare. On his last visit we were told he had a rough time, and in a very gentle and friendly way we were asked not to bring him back. This made us upset naturally, but it’s more of a reflection on how dedicated they are to creating a positive environment for your cherished pet than on our guys experience. We are in search again for the right fit for our big guy, and after having stayed with Patty three times previously, we thought it would work out, but c’est la vie. I would recommend Patty’s to any pet parent, and wouldn’t hesitate to bring our big lab back someday if we could.
Patty and her Pet Palace were an absolute blessing to my three cats and myself. My kitties stayed there for about two months, while I was dealing with a bunch of health issues in another state. Her safety and cleanliness standards are very high, so I knew they would be well taken care of, I just didn’t know how much! Patty ended up falling in love with my little trio. She sent me pictures of them, and long emails about how each was doing. The maximum amount of cats is 4, so they were nearly always the only cats there, and thus got extra space to roam. My oldest cat gets apple cider vinegar and chicken broth every day for upper respiratory congestion, and Patty made little frozen cubes of the mixture, so that none of the broth would go bad. But wait, there’s more! Like I said, I was in one state, all my doc appts were in another, Patty is in NY, and my next stop was moving to Colorado. I hired a transportation company to move my animals, and when communication went south with them and my stress level was soaring because I was literally in back-to-back appointments most days, trying to find a Vet who could come to Patty’s and write my cats a Travel Health Certificate each and getting no where, Patty stepped right up, and handled everything. She made a Vet appt, brought all my cats to the Vet, sent me pictures of the Certificates, and even dealt with unpleasant emails from the travel company. Literally, all I had to do was pay the Vet over the phone. It was incredible and such an enormous relief. I would recommend Patty and her Palace to anyone, without hesitation. ❤️🙏🏻
A place where They truly care for & about YOUR pet! We have our cats stay here & they love it as much as they can. The staff and Patty herself interract with the cats- give you an update on their physical & mental wellbeing. Never have to worry when we are away!
Best of the best in Rhinebeck and the surrounding area. Patty takes care of her boarders as though they were her own. Maggie loves being there almost as much as being home! Highly recommended
Next to home, our dog is happiest when she's at Patty's Pet Palace. It's the only place we can leave her without her getting upset!
My babies are well taken care of, Patty loves her boarders. Safe and no worries.
The best place to leave your dog. Patty is very experienced and takes care of the beasts
We wouldn't take our dog any place else! Patty is the best!
