Tricia

I’m a doctoral candidate in the final stretch of my graduate work in transition design, so I’m spending this season writing, thinking, and looking for a comfortable place to settle into a steady routine. I’m quiet, considerate, and attentive to the feeling and upkeep of a home.

Caring for living beings is part of how I move through the world. I’m thoughtful about animals’ individual rhythms and needs, and I’m happy to care for plants and tend to the small household routines that help a home feel looked after. I take instructions seriously, communicate clearly, and want the people and creatures I’m caring for to feel settled while you’re away.

I’m especially interested in longer sits where the home is a good fit for focused work and the care arrangement feels fair to everyone. I’m flexible about compensation for the right space and duration, and glad to talk through expectations, routines, and any special care needs in advance.

I bring a thoughtful, observant approach to caring for animals and homes. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and routine, follow care instructions closely, and keep owners updated. I’m equally attentive to the home itself, from keeping things orderly to tending plants and daily household tasks.

I’ve spent decades caring for the homes of others as thoughtfully as I care for my own. I bring that same attentiveness to the animals and plants as a sitter.
