Patti joined Especially for Pets in Wayland in 2004 and was promoted to assistant manager three months later. A year later she transferred to the Acton store and soon became store manager. Especially for Pets' mission and vision statement lends itself nicely to Patti's personal love for animals. Her 15 years of experience in corporate customer service is also a great benefit. Patti has always had a dog in her life and her Chocolate Lab, Cocoa, is the center of it. In 2007, a new family member was added - a female French Bulldog named Mocha. This is a dream come true for Patti with the added bonus of having Cocoa and Mocha with her full time in a pet-friendly environment.
