Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted Care for Your Pet
I have my Veterinary Medical Assistant (VMA) certificate and hands-on experience working with both dogs and cats in care settings. I also volunteered at Animal Care and Control, where I worked directly with a wide range of dogs. That experience helped me become very comfortable handling different temperaments, reading behaviour, and building trust with animals who may be stressed or unsure. I’ve been a cat owner for over 5 years and currently care for three cats of different ages, which has given me strong experience with routine care, behaviour monitoring, and senior cat needs. I’m confident with feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and providing calm, structured care for both puppies and older pets. I’m also comfortable with the practical side of care, including cleaning, grooming support, and keeping environments clean, safe, and stress-free for animals.

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety, consistency, and low-stress care for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets in their normal routine, including feeding, walks, litter box care, medications, and any specific behaviour needs. I’m careful with security, always double-checking doors, leashes, and feeding details. I’m also comfortable caring for pets in my own home, where I have a separate dedicated room to give them a quiet, secure space to relax. I keep the environment clean, calm, and tailored to each pet’s comfort level and needs.
Ratings and reviews
Tristen went above and beyond for Roo. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands with someone that really cares and values each pets individual needs. I will definitely be booking her again for my next trip !!
Tristen is a fantastic caretaker and truly loves caring for all kinds of animals. She has trained to work closely with animals through her schooling and treats every animal she meets with the same love as the ones she cares for at home.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine and I’m flexible throughout the week. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day. I’m able to plan my schedule around bookings and make sure pets get consistent care, attention, and time outside or playtime as needed.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsTristen can host up to 1 drop-in per day
- Please let me know in advance about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, behavioral quirks, or triggers your pet may have (such as reactivity to other dogs, fear of loud noises, or separation anxiety). It’s also helpful to know their feeding schedule, portion sizes, preferred walking equipment (harness vs collar), and any commands or routines they already follow.
