Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm reliable pet care.
Animals have always been a part of my life. All of my own pets were adopted. Rescue animals hold a special place in my heart and helped build the foundation of my experience working with animals that have a wide range of temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. I’m often the person friends and family rely on when they need a trustworthy pet sitter, and I currently provide multiple dog walks daily for repeat clients. These households include small, medium, and large breeds, some with multiple dogs in the home. I focus on caring for one pet household at a time, which allows me to give each pet consistent attention and maintain their normal routine. I regularly care for dogs with very different personalities and energy levels—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I also have experience supporting dogs recovering from injuries, caring for pets that require medication, and working with anxious or reactive dogs. Animals tend to respond well to my calm, patient energy. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, which helps me respond appropriately if a dog is unsure, stressed, or needs reassurance. My goal is always to maintain each pet’s normal routine and provide calm, consistent care so they feel safe and comfortable. I communicate clearly with owners, send regular updates and photos, and treat every pet and home with respect. Reliability is extremely important to me. Before the first booking, I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs so their day, walks, and care stay as normal and predictable as possible. Please request a meet-and-greet before new bookings to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. While dogs are my primary focus, I’m also happy to care for cats and make sure they receive the same attentive and reliable care.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Right from the minute I met Trina… She was totally awesome. She sent me pictures of my best friends through the weekend… And that was awesome. I miss my friends. I was only gone for two days, but I miss my friends and she looked after them well, I’m impressed.
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Buddy and Daisy! Trina kept us updated constantly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from the start that she genuinely cared for them like they were her own dogs. Trina went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and had everything they needed — even making sure all their supplies were taken care of. Buddy and Daisy were so well loved and cared for, and we came home to two very happy pups. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to watch their pets.
If you’re looking for someone to give lots of love while you’re not there then Trina is your person! From the first time we met I knew she was special and extremely knowledgeable at what she doing. She greeted and created an amazing welcoming yet calm environment for my little doggo who’s nervous usually. Within a day my little one was already snuggling and relaxing with her. She also sent daily messages with updates and videos as I had asked for them. My doggo got a bit sick while we were gone, and she didn’t hesitate to change his diet after consulting us and kept us informed the whole time. She’s amazing! And we are truly grateful we found her for our doggo!
Trina watched my two boys for 5 days and I was so pleased with the updates and photos she sent as well as the obvious loving care she provided for them. She obviously genuinely cares for dogs and it shows. I would not hesitate to have Trina care for them again.
I highly recommend Trina as a pet sitter. She is reliable, attentive, and wonderful with dogs of all sizes—including big, high-energy ones. She always makes sure they get plenty of exercise and regular walks, regardless of the weather. I trust her completely and happily recommend her to family and friends.
Trina is the definition of a pet lover. The care and attention she gives to all pets she meets is heartwarming, and rest assured that your pet will be cared for with all the attention and love we all want for our fur family members. I have known Trina for over 20 years and would not hesitate to recommend her. In fact she is watching our pooch this upcoming weekend!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I communicate clearly with owners and treat every pet and home as if it were my own. I always share updates and photos so owners can see their pets are doing well and happy. I focus on caring for one pet household at a time, which allows me to give each pet consistent attention while maintaining their normal routine so they are comfortable. I take the time to understand each pet’s temperament, preferences, special needs, triggers and routine so they feel safe. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to their behavior and the environment, making sure they’re stress-free. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions carefully, respect routines, and maintain a calm atmosphere. If boarding a small or medium dog in my apartment, I am patient and maintain a calm environment with focus on supervision, routine, and structured walks. Please request a meet and greet prior to booking, to ensure you and your pets are comfortable and it’s a good fit for everyone.
A typical day
Every dog is different, so I adjust to match their personality and energy level. A typical day may include: • Walks tailored to the dog’s pace (slow sniff walks, moderate exercise, or brisk walks) • Playtime and enrichment • Feeding and medication if required • Quiet time and companionship • Plenty of affection
Prices include all fees.
