Love ‘me like my own.

Hi, My name is Trish, due to my love of animals, mine and yours I am requesting proof of vaccinations, especially for the Parvovirus since there has been a rise in cases in the areas. 🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱🐶🐱 I was born owning and loving animals. My first 4 years of life were on a farm, I had a pet pig. Currently I have 3 dogs and 6 cats. I have an associates in Animal Science, to be a veterinary assistant. Although sadly I never used my degree, Due to beginning my family shortly after receiving my degree. As a teenager I was part of “ Future veterinarians of America” and volunteered at the Humane Society and a veterinary hospital. I have worked at a pet store, as well as a puppy trainer. I have never met an animal I didn’t love, and I treat all fur babies with total love and affection. I have owned and taken care of numerous animals, from gerbils, bunnies, cats & dogs, to pigs and even a sea gull. Parents know that while they are gone, their babies are in loving hands, and that they can relax and enjoy themselves. I live near a well maintained walking path in a wooded area along the water. I also have a half acre fenced yard. When your babies are outside, so am I. I keep watch over them at all times. I ran a home daycare for children for 25 years, and believe that pets are so much more fun. While away from your pet, I will send daily snap shots, and will bathe them if wanted or needed. You can trust that your precious fur babies are well cared for. So relax and enjoy your time away from your fur babies, they are having a great time being spoiled by me.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Trish. I trust her completely with my dog, Junie B., and that peace of mind is priceless. When Junie stays with her, I never have to worry and that allows me to truly enjoy my time in town knowing my girl is loved and well cared for. Trish goes above and beyond in the most thoughtful ways. She shows extra care and attention —not only to the dogs, but to their people too. It’s clear that Junie is treated like family, not just a dog being watched. I am so grateful to have someone I trust so deeply, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Trish to anyone looking for loving, reliable care for their fur baby.

Trish was amazing! Last minute I needed someone to watch my two dogs and she was available and quick to respond! They both had so much fun playing outside and running with her dogs and came home happy and tired! Thank you so much for the great care to our fur babies! 💕

I am so happy I found Trish on Rover! She was absolutely wonderful with my puppy, Junie. From the moment we arrived, it was clear Trish is a true animal lover. Her home was warm and welcoming, and Junie immediately felt at ease! She was running and playing with Trish’s sweet dogs like she’d known them forever. Trish was friendly, flexible, and super easy to communicate with. I live out of town, but my whole family is in Genesee County, so it’s such a relief to know I have someone I trust to take care of my dog when I visit. Trish is awesome, and I’m so grateful for the love and care she gave Junie. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I retired from doing child home daycare, so I am always home with my personal fur babies spoiling and training them daily. I believe a well trained dog is a happy dog, and daily reminder training is a necessary part of an animal/owners life.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard and live on a dead end street, I take my girls on daily walks, and will gladly add your pet to those daily walks if they board with me. If you have an older or injured animal my dead end street is a perfect short stroll, for the younger and or more active ones, the walk path across from me is ideal. We can go for a long strenuous walk ending with a cooling swim in the lake. Always on leash, this is a must…so a good 6 foot length leash works great.

Pets

A typical day

Mornings around here are kinda crazy with potty breaks and feeding time, I then have a grooming ritual for my own fur babies and if your babies enjoy being brushed out, I will include them. Once my animals are set for the day, I can get my day going…which normally includes, you guessed it more animal time! I have it set up that the animals are never alone for more than an hour at any time. If I am unable to be home, I have my niece on speed dial who has been introduced to the animals before the possibility of being left with her arises. I am a true believer that well trained animals are happier animals, and will spend 15 minutes each day training, with a fenced yard and a box of balls and stuffies, we will play as much and as often as possible. In the evening I enjoy curling up with all the animals in my house and watching tv, animal shows of course. ?

?Due to the rise in the Parvovirus, I am requesting proof of vaccination at this time! In order for me to take the best care of your animals, I need to know of any health issues, food allergies and any type of psychological issues. All dogs must be current on shots, flea and heart worm treatments. I would also suggest a kennel cough vaccination, but is not mandatory. Please send your pet with collar, leash and tags. And please feel free to send any favorite bedding, treats and toys. If your fur baby suffers from separation anxiety, I would suggest sending a piece of your clothing with them for comfort.
