Dog lover with 16 years background

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a dog lover who has had and cared for two personal dogs, as well as numerous other dogs of various breed, age, and needs for activity. A bit more about me: professionally, I have worked most of my career in sports social media, and will be attending graduate school in Europe this fall, so I plan to use this summer to spend time closer to family before I continue my education. I previously had a Labradoodle for 13 years, and currently have a 3 year old Bernedoodle who I raised and trained since he was a puppy. With my 13 year old dog, I have experience dealing with older dogs with neurological issues, so I can assure you I will be able to handle the needs of your dog as well! I love to hike and go for walks and get outside with dogs and plan to spend as much time as possible giving your dog attention, love, and letting them expend some energy! Outside of my family dogs, I have experience with numerous other dogs of other sizes, from fostering a golden retriever puppy in New York City, to house sitting for full grown mastiffs, I love working with dogs of all sizes and background. For house sitting, I can be attentive, relax and play with the dogs, spending hours dedicated to solely focusing on them. I love spending time one-on-one (or more depending how many dogs you have) getting them exercise, stimulation, and letting them have fun! If I am working, I will be on my laptop and can drop whatever I am doing to attend to the dogs as needed. For house visits I will take them outside, play, and show them love while keeping them entertained and energized as well as giving them a bathroom break. For walks I will take them for walks around the neighborhood or, if you are open to letting me take them for a ride to a nearby trail, I can also do that (and a tick check after) to let them really have fun!

Tristan was fantastic with our pups and cats! It was delightful to meet him, and we felt comfortable early on having him stay in our house for a week. His communication was thoughtful & proactive, and the photos he sent of our animals let me know how normal & at ease they felt. We came home to a relaxed clean house and happy animals. We would love to have Tristan come back.

Tristan did a great job while we were away. I would highly recommend him. Very reliable and our dogs seem well cared for!

I've known Tristan for about 15 years, and since he was a child, he has always shown a great compassion for dogs of all breeds and sizes. His warmth, energy, reliability, and abundance of experience will make enable him to excel as a dog caregiver on Rover. Tristan has stepped up to walk/care for my own dog on many occasions, and my dog now greets him with the same excitement as any of my own family members. I am confident Tristan will exceed the bare minimum of care for your dog, and will provide a safe and fun experience for your pet!

Tristan has been a friend of mine for years, and over that time he has been a great friend to all 3 of my dogs. On multiple occasions I have entrusted him with looking after them (2 labradors and a golden retriever) and there have never been any issues.

Safety, trust & environment

My favorite way to care for a client’s animal in their home, or on a walk is to learn their pet’s routine, their favorite areas, and normal behaviors, and adapt my care to those needs. I love to find a favorite toy, or learn a favorite area in which a pet loves to spend time, so that I can position myself near them so they feel comfortable, and with a companion.

Information Tristan W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any physical or mental restrictions that I need to care for or be aware of. I have experience dealing with older dogs with neurological issues, so I can assure you I will be able to handle the needs of your dog!

A typical day

Especially during the summer I love to be active with pets as much as possible. Depending on your comfort and what the pet loves to enjoy, I would go on walks, and hikes daily, as well as play games in the yard and at home. I love to bike and if your pet is older or less mobile but still loves to be out and about, I would bring my bike carrier to have them sit in and enjoy a ride and some sun/wind!

For complete transparency, this summer, I will be doing freelance social strategy for Team USA during the Summer Olympics. While I will have work to complete, my hours will be completely flexible and I will be able to dictate my availability so that I can best care for your animal. My hope is to be able to do my work in the evening after a day spent with animals helping them enjoy themselves during the summer! Whether I am house/pet sitting, or purely coming over for a walk or to let them out and play with them, the focus of my days will be your animal, with my freelance work happening in my down hours.
