Pet care experience
Hello there! I am available for a wide range of pet care services for your beloved pet. I also have plenty of experience with multiple pets at once — so if you have a houseful, I’m your sitter! I also can take care of watering your plants and checking the mail. I understand how worrisome it can be to leave your home and pets for an extended period of time, rest assured that I will keep an eye on everything and all will be safe. I have pet and housesat many times for extended periods, often with families leaving the country for 3+ weeks and I can provide references of my work upon request. Also a FYI: I have become extremely busy on Rover and often times cannot accommodate last minute or even one to two month out requests because I’m already booked. If you are looking for a regular petsitter, please let me know during our meet and greet so we can go over your dates to make sure I have the availability. Unfortunately it’s gotten to the point where I’m booked out months in advance and have had to turn down repeat sittings because I was already booked with another pet. I also keep my calendar very up to date, so if you have many future bookings, please check my calendar to see if I’m available and we can chat about them during our meet and greet.
Reviews
We just can’t say enough about how happy we are with Tricia! From start to finish, she has been very responsive and just exudes a confidence and calmness that puts you at ease about her stay with your dog. This is the first time leaving Hank with a sitter so we were apprehensive to do this but it was time. Hank loves Tricia and he even slept outside her room the first night we came back even after we begged and pleaded with him. Lol. My husband and I highly recommend Tricia. She will put your mind at ease as well as your pet’s.
We are so grateful that Tricia could watch our pets for a whole week! She was very communicative throughout our trip which put me at ease that our fur babies were in good hands. She sent lots of pictures which I loved and left our house clean and pets happy. Would definitely book again. Thank you Tricia!
Tricia is always amazing with our two dogs - they are clearly so happy and comfortable with her and our house is consistently in even better shape when we return home. We feel so lucky to have found her!
House was clean, dogs were happy and the daily updates made us feel like they were in excellent care! Our dogs are like our children and it’s always hard to leave them with new people, but Tricia made it so easy to not worry and enjoy our vacation! We would totally book again!

Pet-sitting, walking, heading to the dog park, making sure all the head scratches get in - we will have all sorts of good times together! I will be happy to get them exercise out in the fresh air, or keep them company when you're busy or out of town. Unfortunately, given I have a van that my entire life is in, I do require somewhat safe parking for it. It’s a small van with the footprint of a minivan, so any standard spot works. Street parking is fine as well, as long as I can see the van from your home. However if you’re located in a high density apartment building without ample visible street parking or a dedicated parking spot, I won’t be the right fit. Thank you for understanding.
Information Tricia W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs, I have taken care of sick and handicapped animals before and can handle giving them medicine if needed.
A typical day
We can visit all their new friends at the dog park and chase all the frisbees, or even just a stroll around the neighborhood for general walking and sniffing! We might even head to the beach!

Availability
I do the vanlife thing which gives me a lot of flexibility to take care of your furry family members. I don’t have a regular 9 to 5, as I’m building an app and working on online courses. I also work in the fishing industry in Alaska during the summers, which helps supplement my income. Given my situation, your pets will be my primary focus given my flexible schedule and living situation.
