I spent over 10 years working in the social services field as a Non-Profit Director and Suicide Prevention Coordinator. Additionally, I am a former "foster parent" for rescue kittens and dog socializer for the Humane Society so I can understand the important role pets play in a family.

Trish was absolutely fantastic. She took excellent care of my dog and got her out for really long walks, rain or shine. I hope she'll be able to come back to sit for her again.
Aww thanks! If the dates work out I would love to sit for Bentley again. She is the most wonderful companion.
Patricia was awesome. All three of my kitties fell in love with her. She followed my rather detailed instructions to the letter. Patricia is such a pleasure to be around that we were tempted not to leave on our vacation but to just stay home and get to know her better. She took care of our furbabies and our home perfectly. Our kitties looked for her for days after she left. They clearly missed her!! The house was spotless when we arrived home. We will definitely reach out to her again ... MorePatricia was awesome.

Patricia was amazing!!! She look great care of my pup and two cats. She took my dog on multiple walks a day and made her feel so loved. She was in constant contact and sent me lots of pictures so I felt comfortable being away from my babies. Would definitely love to host her again!

Patricia was an excellent house/pet sitter, who came to my aid in the nick of time. I was going away and hadn't successfully made a plan for my pets. At the last minute, she agreed to take Piper (dog) as well as Scrappy (cat). I never met Trisha in person, just left her the keys and instructions. She kept me well informed while I was away, including some great pics. Everything was in order upon my return, though my animals seemed to miss her terribly ;{ I am very appreciative of her help and ...

I think of Trish as the Cat Whisperer. Of my 5 cats, two will let you pick them up, the other 2 will let you pet them, but Snoopy, or Snoop Kat as he is known, is so skittish, he hardly ever comes around me unless it's dinnertime. Trish not only was able to pet Snoop Kat, but he even let her pick him up. Our neighbors' two dogs, Nala and Teddy, are an added bonus. We get to play with them every day! Thank you Trish. We will definitely keep you in mind for future trips.

Patricia was a wonderful and caring house sitter. Our mind was at ease on our long trip, knowing that she was there to care for our cat and rabbit, and look after the house. When we returned everyone was happy and healthy, and the house was in great shape. Thank you Patricia!

Trish and Zyla, our dog, had a marvelous time together! Trish took Zyla on amazing walks, introduced her to many 2 and 4 legged friends, and kept her very happy in our absence. She regularly sent us pictures and even videos of Zyla. Trish actually came in as a last-minute sitter, as we had a death in the family and needed to leave soon after receiving the news. She was quick to respond, came over and met us, and helped out by driving us to and from the airport, as well as by staying with ... MoreTrish and Zyla, our dog, had a marvelous time together!

Patricia took wonderful care for our active 13 year old dog, Trixie, and 2 year old in-door cat, Leo. Leo warmed up to Trish, and enjoyed cuddling and playing with her. Trish not only gave Tixie her medications and good regular walks, but even took her to exciting hiking areas. Trish was especially kind in sending us emails about how the animals were doing, which was very reassuring to us while we were away. Trish also handled the hand watering potted plants on surprise hot days, and our ... MorePatricia took wonderful care for our active 13 year old dog, Trixie, and 2 year old in-door cat, Leo.

Trish was an outstanding housesitter. This is the first time I have used this website and I couldn't be happier at the jewel I located through it. Trish was very responsible and took care of everything of any concern during the 7 weeks of my overseas trip. She even volunteered to contact the airline regarding something I had left at JFK on my ay to France! Trish communicated appropriately with me. This was very important to me as I was 6,000 miles away! She sent me updates and pics of ... MoreTrish was an outstanding housesitter.

This was very important to me as I was 6,000 miles away! She sent me updates and pics of my pets, but did not overload me with constant texts, which I would have found annoying in the extreme. The most important thing to me was how well my cats were cared for. When I returned, my home was in pristine condition, but, more importantly, my cats weren't freaked out like they have been in the past when I have gone on much shorter business trips. I just wished she lived in my part of the world so I could use her for shorter assignments. Thank you, Trish!

Trish was a fantastic house sitter and I felt very comfortable leaving my beloved cat and house in her hands while I went home to New Zealand. She left my place in great shape, nothing was disturbed or out of place and Albert (the cat) was extremely content. I would have her back any time and highly recommend her!
