Pet care experience

Reliable Pet Care, Peace of Mind!

I own a local insured pet care business; we believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. With years of hands-on experience, advanced training, and a lifelong passion for animals, we provide reliable, loving care for pets of all kinds. I am Pet First Aid certified, a Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS), volunteer EMS, and an Eagle Scout whose service project supported a local animal sanctuary by building a large outdoor cat house and cat walk enclosure. I’ve even assisted a German Shepherd during the delivery of 7 puppies! My services cover a wide range of needs, including overnights, dog walks, day care, drop-ins, yard scooping, nail trims, small animal care, and more. I also enjoy giving back to the community by donating food and supplies to local shelters. With me, your pets are more than just clients—they’re family. My mission is to ensure every animal is safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own.

Trista was amazing with our two dogs, Nova and Zeek! She watched them at her home for a full week while we were on vacation, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. It was clear from the updates that Nova and Zeek were having an absolute blast. They especially loved being able to run around and play in Trista's large fenced-in yard, which was perfect for two big dogs with plenty of energy. They looked happy, comfortable, and completely at home throughout their stay. Trista took great care of them, kept us updated, and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We came home to two very happy and well-cared-for dogs! We would absolutely recommend Trista to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would definitely have Nova and Zeek stay with her again!

I was impressed. I have a complicated feeding program for my dog. They took it in stride. They have great plans for improving their facility in their home. I rarely board my dogs. When I need to again, I will check with them first.

Trista was able to jump in last minute to do an overnight for our dog Cash. She was very accommodating, came to do a meet and greet and was over the next day to watch him! Would definitely use her again!

Trista was fantastic with my senior dog. My dog enjoyed her stay with Trista and came home very happy. We look forward to having our dog stay with Trista again.

Great sitter. My dog, who is usually nervous about being with strangers, just love being with Trista. I've used her at least once a month for the last 5 months, since I moved to the area and am glad I found her through Rover.

Trista and Bill were wonderful. Not only did they care for 1 year old pup Maggie (who suffers from epilepsy) while I was away, they also took the time to help train and socialize her with other dogs which was above and beyond my expectations. Maggie had a wonderful week running around playing with other dogs and even made a surprising friend with a dog that is usually timid. Maggie seems to bring out the puppy in him as he brought out the fun playful side of her. I received pictures and updates all week long. Very appreciative to them for taking such good care of her and looking forward to playdates with our new doggy friend

Safety, trust & environment

I always supervise outdoor time to ensure they’re safe and happy. I make sure the environment is clean and tidy. My goal is to ensure they feel at home while their owners are away, with a mix of outdoor fun, indoor comfort, and plenty of love.

A typical day

A typical day pet sitting starts with a morning check-in where I greet the pets, let them out for a bathroom break, and feed them breakfast. I’ll usually follow up with a walk or playtime to help them burn off energy. Throughout the day, I ensure they’re well-fed, hydrated, and entertained, fitting in another walk or play session if needed. In the evening, I feed them dinner and give them one last walk or some quiet companionship before settling them in for the night. If staying overnight, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable before heading to bed.
