Why These Routines Matter

Predictability is the foundation of responsible pet care.

  • Unclear finances force us to choose between our pet’s health and our budget
  • Inconsistent care turns early symptoms into avoidable emergencies
  • Uneven responsibilities put everything on one person in the family

These routines keep care steady before small cracks turn into bigger problems.

Our Mission: Predictable, Prepared Pet Homes

At Dear Pet Mom, we focus on a part of pet care that’s often overlooked: making life with your pet predictable.

Predictable routines and predictable costs create steady, confident pet homes, giving pets the security they thrive on and families a clearer way to manage daily care.

Through our tools and systems, we help families practice everyday pet preparedness so they always know what to expect, what to track, and how to stay ahead. The result is a calm, stable rhythm of care that supports your pet from day to day.

As an animal welfare advocate who helps care for 68 cats and 14 dogs in our sanctuary in the Philippines, the care tips, budget guide, and list of essentials have been useful in keeping us on track with the many animals we look after on a daily basis. The work never ends, but we are blessed to be stewards of the Lord’s creatures and Dear Pet Mom is sure to be a big part of our continuing journey!”

About Me

Hi, I’m Patricia.

I'm a pet mom to three felines and the creator of Dear Pet Mom.

Our pets deserve the best care, and while most of us want that, life can sometimes get busy. I enjoy creating systems that keep life organized, and I wanted to bring that same calm structure to the pet world.

Dear Pet Mom is built around a single idea. When our care is organized and our finances are predictable, our pets feel the difference.

Thank you for being here. I hope these tools help you feel prepared, supported, and connected to your pet in the best possible way.
