Availability
I work mostly from home, so I'll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pets. I do occasionally have to go out, but I never exceed a 4-5 hour period of leaving your pets alone.

I respect their space, provide companionship, and ensure they have everything they need—from fresh water and meals to enriching playtime and walks. Communication is key, so I keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins, photos, and any necessary observations.

Reviews
Vaughn has looked after our two pups and house sat for us on several occasions. Every time the experience has been great and the dogs love him. He’s prompt with communications and sent plenty of updates and photos while we were away. He’s become our go-to sitter and provides total peace of mind while we’re away.
We love when Vaughn takes care of Harley. We get updates and photos daily, letting us know how it is going. Vaughn has always been super responsive and professional. I feel very comfortable leaving our pet in his care.
I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Vaughn Trowbridge as an exceptional pet sitter. He has been caring for my beloved pets with outstanding compassion, skill, and reliability. Most notably, Vaughn has been a tremendous help with my 16-year-old cat, who requires regular administration of IV fluids. This is a delicate task that demands both technical ability and a calm, gentle demeanor—qualities he possesses in abundance. Beyond that, my dog absolutely adores him, which speaks volumes about his natural affinity with animals. It’s clear he treats every pet as if they were their own. I trust Vaughn completely and always feel at ease knowing my pets are in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who is not only trustworthy and professional but also truly loves animals, I can’t recommend him highly enough.
We highly recommend Vaughn as a pet/house sitter. We went on a recent 2 week trip and Vaughn stayed at our house and took great in home care of our dog, Skyler. He also managed the household including garbage day pick up, daily mail, and providing a presence at the house. We felt comfortable with Vaughn right from the beginning meeting. Vaughn is trustworthy, reliable, caring, responsible, and easy going. He is very pet oriented and took very good care of Skyler. He took her on adventure walks and even gave her a bath! That is above and beyond the call of duty. We really appreciate that Vaughn sent us pictures and communications via text, which is very reassuring. Vaughn is a very nice person and provides exceptional personalized care. We would definitely utilize his service again and again. Way to go Vaughn.
