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.

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 (alas, most parking garages cannot accommodate my van either) 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!

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
Holy moly we found our sitter! Trish was so great. We got daily check ins with photos. Trish left our house so clean and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and for a longer trip no problem! She was so great with our dogs they are so happy!! (And we are too!)
Trish was amazing. She is so communicative from start to finish. We have BIG dogs and she was able to make friends with them right away. She sent the most amazing and adorable pictures every day and kept us up to date. We had a last minute medication add for our cat and she handled no problem. She left our house in perfect condition. Our pets seemed uninterested that we were home, which always means they were well cared for!!
This is our second time using Trish and she was amazing again! I had service on and off on our trip and every time we got service there was an update from Trish and pictures of all our fur babies! The pups always looked so happy, highly recommend!
Tricia was my first house sitter experience, and I couldn’t have wished for a better experience. Tricia arrived on-time (although we were gonna leave at 5 in the morning), was super communicative keeping us posted on how the dogs are doing and sending us the most hilarious pictures of them, was super tidy and we found the place exactly the way we left (Tricia even went beyond and washed the guest room bed sheets before leaving). During the stay we also had an incident where a wall planter fell down, and Tricia voluntarily cleaned up everything which was very kind. We will for sure look for future opportunities to have Tricia on board looking after our dogs.
