Pet care experience

With 12 years experience as an animal shelter supervisor and working in veterinary clinics, I have had the unique opportunity to care for and learn from dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes. Getting to experience so many dogs helps me see how each and every dog is extremely different. I will always take time to understand your dogs unique needs and what will help them have the best day! I have a flexible schedule to help meet your homes needs. Whether your pup needs a scenic hike or just a stroll around the neighborhood, I will gladly spend time with dogs of all energy levels in whatever setting makes them most comfortable. I also love caring for cats and other animals that may be a part of your family! Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Hope to hear from you soon!

Tricia exceeded all expectations. Punctual, warm personality, and an obvious love of animals. This was our first experience leaving our indoor-only 10 year old cats alone for more than a couple of days. Boarding was never an option and it proved difficult to rope any friends or family into staying with or checking in on our kids. Therefore, we’ve been reluctant to plan any long trips or vacations. A family member recommended Rover. Despite a good amount of anxiety over the security of our home and concern for the well being of our cats, we decided to give it a try. We are so glad we did. After studying several profiles we scheduled an interview/chat with Tricia. She answered all of our questions with patience and kindness. Her extensive experience and obvious love of cats is impressive and went a long way towards relieving our concerns and overall anxiety. Selecting Tricia was such a great decision. While traveling in Spain over the last week, Tricia arrived on time and as scheduled. It was so nice to log into our pet cams and see Tricia meticulously complete all of the cat care tasks we requested with clear respect for our property providing updates and pictures. We watched her take the time to sit, pet, and talk to one of our cats showing a clear understanding of his need for attention. Thank you Tricia! You are awesome!

Tricia took amazing care of our cats and kept us updated after each check in. She even worked her magic on our scaredy cat, who rarely comes out for anyone. We really appreciated knowing our babies were in good hands.

Tricia was great! She was super-responsive via text - then came over the night before for a meet-and-greet with our pup. She is great with dogs and Milo took to her as a friend immediately. I would absolutely ask Tricia to watch our dog again anytime!
