Safety, trust & environment

I will never leave your pets outside unattended. I know what can happen when people are distracted. Always greatly aware of animals jumping on and off of furniture and going down stairs. My lab who was the greatest love of my life tore her acl just going down 3 steps. I make myself very aware of the surrounding and dangers that could happen.

Information Trisha F. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know any likes and/or dislikes. Medication/injection time table. Must know if they are allowed treats and how many. Meal schedules. Favorite toys and places. Are your pets allowed on the furniture and/or in bed and how are they with other animals..

A typical day

We will explore the neighborhood and go on walks in the surrounding areas, including lakes and hikes. I’ve been known to play fetch forever with dogs and love to do anything with water, like playing with the hose. Less active animals will receive constant petting and massages. Your babies will have constant love and attention and will never feel lonely and bored.

Pet care experience

I am a life -long dog owner with decades of experience taking care of animals large and small. I am a reliable, mature person who you can feel confident with taking care of your babies. My job is to make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you are away. I have had cats and large dogs my entire life, big and small, young and old, I will love them like they are mine. I am currently retired and very flexible with my time. I am able to provide care on weekends and holidays on short notice. I am organized with my time and very reliable. I am able to take care of all household needs while your away. I keep a very tidy home and am great with yard, plant and flower care. I am very comfortable with caring for pet with special needs (cancer treatments, kidney disease especially, walking, torn ACL’s, laser treatments, incontinence ). Tons of experience with medications and injectables. Your babies will be my top and only priority. In addition to special needs, I also love to walk, hike, play ball and go to the river and/or lake. You will also receive daily photo and video updates. Your pets happiness is my happiness.

Trisha took great care of Naia and Mav during our trip! Our dogs were calm and clearly comfortable when we got home, which means everything during the day to day went smoothly. One thing other owners might want to know: Trisha’s communication style leans toward one update per day unprompted, rather than frequent photos and check-ins throughout the day. If you’d like more frequent updates, it’s worth mentioning that to her. She’s very responsive and easy to talk to, and she always seemed quite happy to adjust to what we wanted. Overall a very positive experience, our dogs were well cared for, and she went over and above tidying our place/cleaning before we arrived home!

Trisha was a great in-house sitter for our senior pup. She was communicative, friendly, took excellent care of our dog, and left our home immaculate. I would not hesitate to recommend her!

Trisha just watched our two Bernese Mt. Dogs and we couldn’t be happier with her care for our boys! They adored her. She was so communicative, texting updates daily, and sending cute photos. We had happy dogs when we got home and our house might have been cleaner than when we left. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a great pet/housesitter. We will absolutely be using her again!

We were so happy to come back home to a very clean house and a calm dog. Trish is friendly, responsible and had a way to connect with our boy that made us feel confident when we left. She was willing to meet with us twice before we left to help our dog feel more relaxed. She always showed on time. We are very pleased with her service. Thanks Trish!
