Safety, trust & environment

We live in an apartment, with a fenced in backyard. I recently adopted a senior cat- he remains indoor only for his safety. Overnight stays will likely be unavailable for me to host.

Vet Tech for Walks and Visits

Pet care experience

I’m a full time, experienced and fear free certified vet tech versed with emergency and gp veterinary care who clearly can’t spend enough time with animals! I have a special affinity for senior animals and their specialized care, as well as reinforcing good behavior and training. I also have a lot of experience with animal behavior and reactivity, and previous history of training aquatic animals. Hope to meet your furry friends soon. I’m not picky- I love cats too. A new friend is a new friend.

Trisha was great dropping in on our dog! She provided prompt updates and even insights on how her leash reactivity (and training) is when she's on walks. Very thorough and thoughtful!

Trisha always gives us fun and informative updates! You can tell she has fun with Luna and takes great care of her. She leaves our place super tidy!

I’m so glad Shiva took a liking to Trish so quickly during our meet and greet. She is a timid dog and usually takes an awhile to warm up to people but after the lil neighborhood walk shiva was rubbing her like an old friend. Trish and her partner were so respectful of the house, and she even helped mitigate an ant attack on Shiva’s food. I would recommend Trish and will hope she is available the next time we need her.

Trisha took great care of Luna! She provided detailed updates and had no problem with Luna’s medication. Luna is a bit leash reactive and Trisha handled it really well. Easy to communicate with and she was flexible even when our plans changed!
