My family and I went away and had a neighbor watch our 2 dogs. When we got back, it was obvious the dogs had been really lonely. The next time we went away, we had Tricia come watch them. When we got back from that trip, it was clear the dogs had been well cared for. While they were excited we were back, they were far more adjusted than before. One of the things we liked a lot was the daily journal that Tricia left for us about what she did with the dogs each day--she kept the dogs busy and happy. It's clear that Tricia loves her job, loves animals, and loves to keep them happy. We trust her completely not only with our dogs but with our house, too. The next time we go on a trip and have to leave the pups behind, it's not even a question in our minds who will take care of them.

Although we were only gone for 3 days, Tricia fed, cared for and cleaned litter boxes, etc. for our 5 cats. She did all this twice a day despite being involved in a serious accident during this time. We'll definitely use her services again.
Pet Sitting

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Pet Sitting is the crux of my business, but I do a lot of things as a pet services provider. Pet bathing and light grooming/hygiene Nail Clipping Pet Taxi Custom pet work Drive customers to/from airport Look after house and indoor plants Anything you need! I will make it happen! :)

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Always check references and check out their business insurance policy! Ask their references specific questions about their personality, relationship with your babies, reliability, and whether they've re-used the pet sitter's services (why or why not?). Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions! Don't forget to ask their references how their babies were upon their return!
