The Kind of Care Your Pets Deserve

Pet care experience

Originally from California, I've loved animals my whole life and have always surrounded myself with pets. I knew I wanted to pursue a career in animal care and I've developed a passion for working with them. It’s my personal belief that animals are the ultimate example of unconditional love and teach us humans more lessons than we realize. Personal experience include: * Volunteer at The Santa Barbara Humane Society * Kennel Attendant at Camp Canine * Kennel Staff at The Ruff Ranch * Dog sitter - family, friends, neighborhood * Dog Walker - family, friends, neighborhood Instagram: tristan_dmngzpupsitter

Tristan was a lifesaver when I needed to schedule a last-minute nighttime walk for my dog, Yuzu, as I was in town for a wedding. Tristan went above and beyond to make sure Yuzu was safe and comfortable, scheduling a meet and greet ahead of time. I would absolutely recommend Tristan for your pet care needs!

What can I say other than I am truly going to miss having Tristan care for my cat Handsome, now that he lives in Vermont. Tristan really took great pride in caring for my cat, Handsome. Handsome is a 12 1/2 yr old cat who at time required special care. Tristan always followed his diet/medicine needs and made sure he got in playtime and cuddles. Tristan also didn’t have any problems when it came to longer periods of time of watching Handsome and was great at cleaning up the litter box or little messes my little one made around the house due to old age. I was very comfortable leaving my old man with him, be it for the day or if I went on a trip for a week. Handsome, was always in good hands while being cared for by Tristan.

Tristan is a very caring and responsible person. His love for dogs is apparent in every dog under his care. He takes great pride in his work and the dogs love him.

Hello, Since Tristan started helping us with our two dogs, it became clear to us that we were dealing with a person who genuinely cares for all animals, especially dogs. Our "Peep," as we call them, came home from local shelters with serious distrust issues, fear, and non-stop barking habits. As Tristan gained their trust during every walking session, our Peeps started relaxing and becoming more socialized. Tristan did not limit his training to the dogs, as he also trained my husband and me to be consistent with our rules, as well as giving them healthy diets. Tristan took the time to show us how to use positive reinforcement to correct bad behavior. He quickly became best friend to our whole family, and before we knew it the Peeps waged their tails in his presence. Also, Tristan was very adamant about teaching us what is ethical and what is not for humans to do to animals. We all miss him dearly, and we are eternally grateful for his loving and caring help. Give your Peeps the chance to have Tristan improve their lives! Isabel Callaway

A typical day

Stimulating your animal both mentally and physically is very important to me. I like to incorporate a mixture of mental games and lots of high energy activities to grantee a happy and tuckered out pup. Weather It’s a game of ball, walking through the neighborhood, a game of find the the treat or a fun hike, I’m all in!
