Compassionate and passionate

I've lived with dogs my whole life, and have owned a range of types of dogs, each unique. My current dog and I have battled her anxiety problems together, and now is so well behaved people compliment us when walking almost every day! I spent 3 years dog sitting in Chicago on Rover and loved it, with some dog walking on the side. Now in CA, I'm unable to dog sit in my current apartment but would love to increase my daily dose of dog through dog sitting and check-in visits. With an anxious dog, I understand how nerve-racking trusting someone else with your pup can be and some of their quirks you work around. (Your dog hate skateboards? Been there, used to that!) I'd love to give you some peace of mind throughout your day by being there for your pup when you cannot.

Tricia was amazing. She took such good care of my 12 year old brown lab buster. She sent me such adorable photos that it let me relax and enjoy my trip because Tricia was such a great mama to my baby boy!

Tricia came through for a last minute booking. Nala really enjoys it when Tricia comes over as you can see her reactions on the outdoor cameras, and Tricia sends great photos to show how her time with Nala (better than most of the ones I catch).

Tricia is a very observant person who quickly understood my dog and many of his needs. She has good feedback and knowledge, helping me to feel at ease. I'll definitely ask her to watch my pooch again!

Schedule

I am available for drop-ins or walks whenever needed. I understand some dogs like senior dogs or pups have different needs and will do my best to accommodate.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure all equipment is fastened as directed, I have an awareness of what situations may cause dogs to act differently, and what owners' overall goals are for the visit.

Pets

A typical day

Whatever you prescribe! Do I give your dog some fresh food/water? Make sure they're calm before I leave? Load up on pets or focus on a brisk walk? All depends.
