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.

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.

Patricia was amazing! She came over a few days before pet sitting to learn Arlos routine which was awesome. Timely, great communicator, would highly recommend her. We felt Arlo was in great hands while we were away.

Tricia was great with our dog Oz, she kept him safe and let him sniff and explore the neighborhood at his own pace. She understands his needs and how to work with a smart but reactive dog. 10/10 Oz cant wait to work with her again!

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!
