Safety, trust & environment

Boarding: *I am only allowing small dogs and senior dogs who get along with cats at this time.* The most important thing when a pet is to stay in my home is for it to feel like it’s at home too. Every animal that walks through my front door is going to be treated as if it’s my very own pet. I pride myself in having a personal and genuine connection with the pet owners so they feel just as comfortable with me. I communicate as often as the owner likes, but will typically send 3 messages a day on how your animal is feeling inside my home and what their day is looking like. Because I have other animals in my home, and for the safety of other animals: I do require the following vaccinations to be up to date: Rabies, Distemper / parvo / and Bordetella. These 3 core vaccinations are required at any boarding facility. This protects my pets and your pets. Your pet will be going outside to use the bathroom, walks, ect depending on their schedule. Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention is highly recommended to be used for your stay as well. Again, to protect my animals and yours. If you have any questions about these vaccinations or preventions, please let me know and I can further assist you on how to get these at your local vet office. Feline boarding: I highly prefer cats that have boarded previously or are used to change. But, I am confident enough to board a first timer as well. Please look at my cat sitting profile for more information. I do require the following vaccinations for felines: Rabies, FVRCP, Feline Lukemia or a negative Fel Leuk test. This is for protection against my felines as feline leukemia is spread via saliva. Please reach out if you have any questions on these vaccinations or tests before boarding with me.

Information Trina P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of time if your pets have health issues or is on medication. I am more than willing to accommodate and learn what your pets needs are and what I need to look for. If your dog does have behavioral issues such as anxiety, resource guarding, or aggression when triggered, that’s also no problem too. Every dog needs to feel safe and comfortable in my presence, and especially in their own home. Their comfort is my first priority! This goes for felines too.

A typical day

Each and every animal is unique based on their breed, age and personality. They will be fed on time, brought outside when they need to go (potty pads are definitely okay too) Dogs require mental and physical stimulation. So wether it’s playing in the backyard, playing with toys, filling up the baby pool to splash around to cool off, or going on a big long walk in the neighborhood and neighboring parks, your pet will have a lot of fun! At night, we like to either sit in the backyard and stargaze, or cuddle up on the couch and watch tv together. My life has always revolves around animals, and my day will revolve only around your pet(s)! And for felines, it really depends on them. I will follow their routine to keep as much as normalcy for them as I can. Cats will tell you what they want.

Pet care experience

Thank you so much for considering me for taking care of your animals! My name is Trina, I’m 31 and I am an experienced pet lover and owner for over 15 years, along with 6 years of being in the veterinary medicine field as a Veterinary Technician. I took a break from Rover for a few years and now have decided to do this full time. Because of this, I bring a uniqueness to your pets stay: I am ALWAYS home AND because of my background in vet med, I am confident your pets will have a great stay with me. I am a lover of all animals, none excluded. But because of my time in the veterinary field, I am very educated and passionate about animal health such as behavior, nutrition, and diseases. Some of the diseases that I worked hands on with were heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and kidney disease. I am passionate about the medicine and science behind these issues, but will also make me a good candidate since I know what to look for. I can assure you, your pet will be taken care of properly.
