Services
Tristan can care for
Availability
I am currently available full time without restrictions as I am in between jobs and I require a slower pace and more animals in my life at this time. Therefore, I am using this summer to slow down and provide services through Rover full time. Two things to consider regarding my rates: 1) Rover takes 15% unless the service is recurring so I have to set the prices at a point that is fair to my needs and time which I have tried my best to keep as low as possible. 2) I am not only taking care of your pet but your property as well. I take this very seriously and I have a protocol I follow in order to take precautions and give attention to your home. This includes protecting your privacy and being mindful of ways to enhance security. I will share my protocols with you during our meet and greet but the point is that I am also taking care of your home as well as your pets so please keep this in mind when evaluating my rates and the value I bring. My goal is to provide reassurance so that you both you and your pets can feel less stressed when you are away.

About Tristan O.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am currently only walking dogs or caring for pets at or near the pet owner's home. I do this with honesty, photo documentation if the owner requests it and respect for privacy. If your pet allows it I do daily tick checks. I am very conscious that overnight stays, check-ins and walking means entering your private property. I take your privacy and security very seriously. Therefore, I never share details of your home, enter your private spaces or bring unauthorised people. I make a note of who is allowed on your property and do everything in my control to protect your home, not just your pets. My wife is also a verified Rover provider. I never assume she is allowed to join me when you book my services. I will discuss this with you and honour your preferences. We do make a great team and if she is allowed to join me for multi day, overnight pet sitting then it means we are more effective in spending quality time caring for your pets. If you choose that only I am to stay overnight then please understand, I am likely to make short visits during the multi-day pet sits to see my wife and maintain a healthy marriage.
Information Tristan O. would like to know about your pet
Please inform me if your pet has any needs, habits, behaviours or history I should be aware of as this helps me take care of them and potentially, myself and others as well.
A typical day
A typical day is different according to the circumstances. I approach this from the perspective of identifying your particular pet's needs and adjusting the activity accordingly. I love to walk and interact with animals so if your pet needs lots of exercise then I am also game. An hour walk and ball chasing? No problem. If it is intellectual stimulation or perhaps training reinforcement, then I'm happy to facilitate this. Practising heal or sit, or maybe hide and go seek with toys? No problem. I'm also big on giving attention to physical and emotional needs so please let me know if this is important. As a massage therapist I have developed a low intensity massage routine to build trust and relaxation for dogs and cats with plenty of attention given to the hips, back and shoulders. Is it just cuddling? No problem! I always try my best to capture a great portrait of your pet - check out some of them in my gallery.

Caring petsitter & home carer when you need it!
Pet care experience
I grew up with cats, dogs, horses, birds, reptiles and guinea pigs. From an early age I learned that animals require our love and respect. These qualities have served me well throughout my life. I always care for pets by asking myself, " if this was my pet, how would I like it to be cared for?" Having cleaned out horse stalls, aviaries, kennels, aquariums and hoofs as a child to more recently attending to our beloved dog Amber through hospice, I have a humble appreciation for animals and the time it takes to build trust. Whether large or small, healthy or feeble, young or old, animals deserve to be treated with dignity, compassion and respect.
Cat care experience
Tristan also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Tristan and Carey were so respectful of our home and were great with our dogs. A very calm couple which meant our nervous dog was comfortable with them both straight away. We had regular updates and came home to 2 very chilled dogs. We all look forward to you staying again. Thank you so much
Molly and Myrtle, our Labrador and Spaniel, were beautifully looked after by Tristan and his lovely wife over this weekend. They sent us regular updates and photos which was much appreciated. The house was left immaculately and they were both so responsible and caring with our two dogs who couldn't have been happier on our return. We don't have any hesitation is highly recommending Tristan and Carey to anyone to look after both their house and pets. Tessa and William
We had an amazing experience with our dog, cat, and house sitters! Tristan and Carey cared for our pets as if they were their own, giving them so much love, attention, and cuddles. Carey even looked after my cherry tree, which unexpectedly arrived, going above and beyond. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in such kind, capable hands. House was spotless! Highly recommend.
We have had Tristan look after Kemba 3 times now and he is alway punctual and we go away feeling completely relaxed that he is with her. He always takes her on long walks which she loves!
