Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs as a child. My home is set up to best care for small dogs <15 lbs. For bigger dogs <80 lbs, I can drop-in and/or house sit where they will likely be more comfortable. I’m a millennial and see dogs as our kids.
Reviews
It doesn’t get any better than Trish.
Trish was amazing! I work a long shift so she came and let our dog Kevin out to potty and just get some love since he otherwise would have been alone all day. She was incredibly communicative and sent all the pictures so we knew Kevin was well taken care of. Thank you so much to Trish! Highly would recommend her for all your dog needs 😍😍
Great sitter! Thank you, Trish!!
Trish did a phenomenal job watching my Rocky. Rocky has a lot of separation anxiety and this is the first time I’ve left him for a weekend. We were both very anxious, but Trish was so patient and communicative with each visit. Rocky was a challenge, as he takes a long time to warm up to someone, but Trish’s calm demeanor and patience helped Rocky to warm up tremendously. I am so grateful for Trish’s kindness and compassion. She is a true gem.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a 2-story townhouse with vinyl plank and tile flooring throughout. There are big rugs in the living, dining, and bedrooms for grip. I have an approximately 300 sqft fenced backyard that is connected by a door to my neighbors 300 sqft fenced backyard. I have a friendly Toy Poodle name Ryder (male, neutered, 2 y/o, 6 lbs) and my neighbor has 2 Maltipoos name Bentley (male, not fixed, 14 y/o, 11 lbs) and Aston (male, not fixed, 4 months, 8 lbs) to keep your fur baby company. If your dog is older, dislikes high energy pups, or is a female (spayed or not), I can easily keep them away from my neighbors dogs if you prefer. All dogs will have their paws, wee wee and butt wiped after every walk upon entering the house so they can be on my furniture. Dogs boarded in my home will generally sleep in bed with me, so if they are dirty, they will receive a bath and blowout before bedtime.

Information Trish T. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what triggers and habits your pup has to allow me to be fully prepared in taking the best care of them as possible. If you can’t think of anything, I’m prepared to be surprised and will share with you what I discover about them under my care.
A typical day
Our typical day is flexible depending on the pup whether they are young or old and what they are accustomed to so it’s important for me to know their schedule for walks and meals. If your dog isn’t on a strict schedule, they start with a brief 15-25 minute walk around my neighborhood between 8AM - 10AM. Every single time pups come back inside the house throughout the day, they’ll have their paws, wee wee and butt wiped in exchange for a small treat. Then it’s time for their first meal (if they eat twice a day). Depending on what time they went outside in the morning, they can go back outside (in the backyard) as often as every 2-hours for puppies or every 3-4 hours for older dogs. In the evenings around 5PM-7PM we’ll go on another walk to socialize and sniff the neighborhood pups for 30-60 minutes. Dinner will be around 7PM (unless preferred differently). Throughout the day, I like to simulate them with puzzles, jolly dog game on iPad, watch Disney movies or Bluey, or play fetch. In the summers, they are prone to smelling like the sun so they’ll get a waterless shampoo and brush midday. I like to desensitize pups with lots of pets and often observe their nails and fur in the process, then I’m incline to trim their nails or fur around their butt to keep them clean only with parents consent and if pups allow me to. Dogs who allow me to groom them get compensated with treats for their trust. On days that I have lunch plans with friends, pups come with me and we enjoy the patio.

Availability
I am self employed and always home so it’s easy to assure all pups are walked every 4 hours (more frequent if they are young puppies). I don’t typically leave the house and when I do, it’s rarely ever more than 4 hours. Most of the time when I do leave the house, I will take pups with me as I have a car seat and pup stroller. I’m available for boarding 7-days a week anytime.
