Hello - I'm Tricia. You can go on your trip with no worries while I am with your pet. They will get the love and attention they need along with walks around the neighborhood and playing games in the backyard. I have 13 year old twins that are also big dog lovers! They have been around dogs all their lives and they love all dogs. I have undergone advanced screening and a background check. You can be assured that your dog(s) will be in safe hands. I have been dog sitting for over 10 years and have many loyal repeat clients. ( I am no longer taking clients for dog boarding or day care, I m still available for my other services.) As a traveling dog sitter I will care for your dogs (or other pets if needed) as if they were my own. I am very responsible and will keep your house as clean as you left it. My rate is $35 for a 24 hour period for dogs I do charge an extra $15 for each additional dog. I can stay over night or if you prefer I will do 2 -1 hour drop ins daily. A typical drop in includes taking the dog out, walking the dog, feeding and giving him fresh water and giving him lots of attention and loving care! Experience: Dog sitting for over 10 years. Professional Dog Walker for 2.5 years. Attended a 2 year Animal Behavior/ Dog Training program with the Misha May foundation. Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. I especially love dogs as they have always been a part of my life. My first dog came into my life when I was about 4 years old and I have not been without one since. Dogs are so loving and giving and are the best companion anyone could have. I have had many special dogs in my life. The one that was the most dear to me was a mini schnauzer named Soron. I got her when she was about 6 month old; she was always there for me in all parts of my life, good or bad. We went everywhere together. She was my best friend and companion. She lived until she was 16 years old and I still miss her! About my yard: I have a very large backyard. It is fully fenced-in with a 6 foot fence, it is landscaped and there is lots of grass and many shade trees. its a perfect yard for playing fetch. My dog Molly love playing outside. My experience administering medication Yes, I have no problem administering medication when given specific instructions. If your dog requires injections, I do charge $5 for each one.
