Pet care experience
Your Dog's New Favorite Sitter
I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember. We got our first pup when I was 5, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I’m always the person who finds the dog first at someone’s house, and my camera roll is probably 90% pictures of animals. I’ve lived with dogs for about 30 years and have been around all kinds of personalities, from high-energy pups to sleepy seniors. I’m especially comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and making sure each one gets the attention, routine, and care they need. I’m comfortable following your pets’ normal routines at home, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, enrichment, basic commands, and training. I’ve worked with professionally trained dogs and am familiar with e-collars and other owner-provided training tools when those are already part of your dog’s routine. I’m a remote designer and small business owner, so my schedule is very flexible and I can spend a lot of time with your pets while you’re away. I’m also naturally tidy and respectful of other people’s homes, and I’ll treat your house like it’s my own. Whether you have one pup or a whole little crew, my goal is for everyone to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re gone, and for you to be able to relax knowing your pets and home are in good hands.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I try to keep things as normal as possible for your pets while you’re gone. I’ll follow their usual routine, feeding schedule, house rules, and anything else you normally do with them. I’m also really respectful of people’s homes and always want you to feel comfortable knowing both your pets and your home are being taken care of.
Ratings and reviews
Tricia and I are good friends and were roommates for many years. Trish truly loves dogs. She now lives with 2 dogs and 2 cats. And she has neighborhood dogs come visit her. She sends me dog photos and vids often. When we lived together, I saw her raise her rescue dog, Millie, from 3 months onward. She ensured Millie had not just all the proper care but lots of training including Recall from long distances (like 50 yards!). Trish also frequently cares for her brother's Golden Retriever when he goes out of town and she looks forward to it every time. In addition to loving animals, Trish is punctual! You can rely on her to show up on time and do what she says she will do. Trish is also organized! It takes a certain kind of person to organize someone else's pantry (with permission!) for fun. Trish is that kind of person. You'll be delighted you went with Trish for your pet sitting needs! :)
“Tricia is one of the most caring and trustworthy people I know when it comes to animals. She genuinely loves both dogs and cats, frequently fosters stray pets, and treats every animal like family. She is patient, responsible, attentive, and always makes sure pets feel safe, clean, loved, and comfortable. She also has experience house sitting with pets and gives wonderful dog baths and care. I would absolutely trust her with my pets anytime.”
Tricia is one of the sweetest women I've ever met, and she absolutely adores all the animals. Your dog will be in excellent hands with Tricia. She loves to walk and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise.

Schedule
I work remotely and run my own small business, so my schedule is super flexible. I can work around your pet’s normal routine and I’m around a lot during the day. Walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime, or just hanging out while I work all fit pretty naturally into my day.
