Pet care experience

live, laugh, & i love all pets!

Hey there! Thanks for visiting my profile and considering me to care for your furbaby ☺️ My name is Tricia and I love love love animals. I've been a dog mama for 15+ years, and currently loving on my second senior dog that I've had since she was a 10 week old puppy. Although I've only had dogs, I love kitties just as much! I recently became a cat mom to a very sweet senior blind kitty 😻 I love to see pets of all kinds happy and healthy and having fun, and will make sure your pets still enjoy their time at home even if they are missing you!

Tricia went above and beyond to take great care of our dog while we were away travelling. It was so nice being able to enjoy our trip without a single worry about our dog not being in great hands! She was attentive to medical needs and followed care instructions perfectly.

Trish does a fantastic job walking the dogs. The dogs LOVE her and I am sure they look forward to seeing her. She’s reliable and is a great communicator. This is our third time using her while we were away for an extended period (this time 5 weeks). We know our girls are in good hands with Trish.

I had a great experience with Trish. She is fantastic. Very well communicates and provides lots of updates and photos. Definitely will book again with her and highly recommend her! She took a great care of my Tux cat and my border collie.

Schedule

I am currently in a middle of a career change leaving the medical field, so now I am very flexible with an open schedule. I am pet sitting full time, so my life revolves around dogs and cats - and I love it! I don't like to leave pets bored at home alone for long periods of time, so I will try to spend as much time with your furbaby as possible.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

** Housesitting - in your home ** I will try to maintain your pets normal schedule as best as possible! My main priority is to keep your pets comfortable and happy and distracted from missing you! ***Boarding - at my house*** I do have a blind cat at home, so all potential boarding clients MUST be cat friendly, potty trained, and comfortable with being separated (if needed) to a different area to ensure the safety of all animals in the house.

Pets

A typical day

I love to engage with dogs through both physical play and mental stimulation. Lickmats, games, puzzles and fetch are a favorite of mine with my own dog. Fresh air is important to both pets and humans, which we can both enjoy with long walks around the neighborhood, weather permitting.
