## What Sets Me Apart from Other Sitters What truly sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs, my commitment to personalized care, and my unique understanding of different canine needs. Here are some key aspects that distinguish my services: 1. **Extensive Experience:** Having raised dogs since childhood, I possess a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. This experience allows me to connect with dogs of all temperaments, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in my care. 2. **Regular Exercise and Engagement:** I prioritize regular walks—4-6 times a day—providing ample exercise and mental stimulation for your pet. This commitment helps keep dogs healthy, happy, and well-adjusted. 3. **Specialized Care for All Life Stages:** Whether you have a playful puppy or a senior dog, I am equipped to provide tailored care. I understand the unique requirements of puppies, including basic training and socialization, as well as the special considerations for senior dogs, such as gentle exercise and medication management. 4. **Calm Environment for Shy Dogs:** Currently caring for a very shy German Shepherd has given me valuable insights into helping nervous or anxious dogs acclimate to new environments. I create a calm and supportive atmosphere that fosters trust and confidence. 5. **Flexible Availability:** Working from home as a real estate agent allows me to be flexible with my schedule, ensuring that I can cater to your pet's needs throughout the day. Whether it’s adjusting walks or providing extra attention during stressful times, I’m here for your furry friend. By choosing me as your pet sitter, you can rest assured that your dog will receive exceptional care tailored to their individual needs, making their stay enjoyable and stress-free

Tristan was great with my dog Charlie, who stayed for a full weekend. Communication was easy and prompt, with some nice updates and photos throughout the weekend. Tristan's dog Fifi is very sweet, and calm, and a great companion to visiting dogs. My dog Charlie can be very nervous at first with new dogs and Fifi quickly made him feel safe and calm quickly. The pre-stay meet and greet was a very helpful touch. Charlie came home from his weekend happy and well take care of, and will definitely visit Tristan again in the future!

Tristan was quick to respond and was flexible with pickup/drop-off arrangements. I got frequent updates. Ellie loved her stay. We will definitely be back the next time Ellie needs to be watched.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 17, 2025

Tristan was extremely attentive to my dogs needs and updating me via text/video as to how my dog was doing when requested. The meet/greet and hand offs were smooth and Gus really seemed to enjoy his time there. He slept very soundly once returning home. Overall 5/5 and will rebook with Tristan again and again. Knowing my dog is safe and happy is my number one priority and it showed that it was also Tristan's.

Tristan and Anna were fantastic with Riley. They took care of her for a weekend and she came back good and tired. They gave me updates with pictures. I would definitely book with them again.

## How Pet Care Fits into My Daily Routine Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, seamlessly blending with my work and personal life. As a real estate agent who works from home, I have the flexibility to prioritize the needs of the pets I care for. Here’s how I incorporate pet care into my day: 1. **Regular Walks:** I take dogs on walks 4-6 times a day, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. These walks are not only great for physical activity but also provide mental stimulation and opportunities for socialization with other dogs and people. 2. **Playtime in the Backyard:** With a spacious backyard at my disposal, I dedicate time each day for play sessions. Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or simply exploring the yard, I make sure that every dog has a chance to engage in fun and active play. 3. **Flexible Attention:** Working from home allows me to be attentive to the pets' needs throughout the day. I can accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, and cuddle time, ensuring that every pet feels loved and cared for. 4. **Routine and Structure:** I believe in providing a consistent routine for pets, which helps them feel secure and comfortable. From morning walks to evening playtime, I maintain a schedule that aligns with their needs. By integrating pet care into my daily life, I create a nurturing environment where dogs can thrive and feel at home. Your furry friend will receive all the love and attention they deserve while enjoying an active and fulfilling routine!

How I Care for Pets in My Home and Clients' Homes Caring for pets is a responsibility I take seriously, whether in my home or at a client's residence. Here’s how I ensure their comfort and well-being: 1. **Maintaining Routine:** I adhere to the pet's established feeding, walking, and playtime schedules to minimize stress and provide familiarity. A detailed daily schedule helps keep everything consistent[1][4]. 2. **Safe Environment:** In my home, I create a secure and inviting space with access to fresh water, designated feeding areas, and plenty of room for play. For clients, I ensure their home is pet-proofed and comfortable[6]. 3. **Regular Exercise:** I prioritize physical activity by taking dogs on walks 4-6 times daily, tailored to their energy levels and needs. This keeps them engaged and healthy[3]. 4. **Personalized Attention:** Each pet receives individualized care based on their unique preferences and requirements. I monitor their behavior closely to ensure they are happy and comfortable[5][7]. 5. **Health Monitoring:** I keep track of each pet's health, watching for any signs of stress or discomfort, and provide regular updates to owners about their pet’s well-being[1][3]. By focusing on these aspects, I create a nurturing environment that allows pets to thrive while ensuring peace of mind for their owners.
