Proud Recipient of the Small Business Excellence Award
Thanks so much for looking after our boy Tricia. Please also pass our thanks along to Glenn.
I LOVED the written report! Ernest and I both agreed that not even a babysitter for a child would provide such a detailed report on the child's stay with the sitter.
Your level of service is unprecedented, I'm sure. Thanks again Tricia. Rambo will be back!
After a long winter of our Rottweiler using the backyard as her washroom facility we were not looking forward to spring cleaning this year!! Once I heard of Pawsitive Approach and their cleaning services we quickly took a brochure over to our neighbours, who have 2 dogs and called Trish, owner of Pawsitive Approach. Trish was very friendly and booked an appointment to do both yards. The backyards were a disaster and no one wanted to accomplish the task of attempting some sort of clean up. Trish arrived, greeted the dogs and began the task!
The job was done quick, efficiently and our lawn was not damaged. When Trish was finished she kindly left behind home baked cookies for our dogs. This kind of personal service is hard to find! We would highly recommend Pawsitive Approach and their services they offer to anyone who has animals and are in need of a little help!
Sincerely.

Trish has come to my rescue several times, and my cats couldn't be happier! The first time Trish looked after my cats was a true emergency. I was feeling very ill and went down to the emergency clinic to see the doctor. He sent me to the E.R. at the hospital and two hours later I was in the operating room. I ended up in the hospital for five days. When I left home I had no idea that I would not be going home and had therefore made no provisions for my cats Harry, Cookie, Joey and Quincy.
I was able to make a few phone calls so I called Trish (Thank goodness she was home!) and asked for help! Trish was just great. She got the spare key to my home fro the Condo Corp and just took over. I had no food left for the cats so Trish purchased their brand of food for them so their diet would not change. It was such a relief to know that my cats would be well cared for. Trish came in twice a day and fed them, cleaned the litter (which is no small feat when you have 4 cats!) and made sure everyone was comfortable and well.
The second time I asked Trish to look after my cats was in October when I had to go home to Nova Scotia for a funeral and once again it was Trish to the rescue. While I was away Quincy got very sick. Trish took him to the vet and ended up with a number of medications that had to be administered at different times each day. Quincy had to be kept in isolation while Trish monitored his fluid intake. All this, as well as looking after the other three.
Trish reacted to this emergency like the professional that she is. She was the one who noticed that Quincy was sick, (he seemed ok when I left) and thanks to Trish when I came home Quincy was feeling much better.
I would not hesitate to recommend Trish to anyone who is looking for a responsible, loving, caring, sensible, punctual and dependable person to look after their animals.
Thanks Trish, we couldn't have done it without you!
Dear Tricia,
Just a brief note to express my many thanks for taking such good care of my horses while I had to go out of town last weekend for Thanksgiving (Oct 11th & 12th) and for feeding the cats, the geese and our lone duck.
I was impressed with the way that you made a point of taking notes for yourself and you asked alot of questions to ensure that nothing would be forgotten. You seemed genuinely interested and concerned about the care that I requested. I also appreciated the fact that you were available on such short notice, especially with it being a holiday weekend.
I have never used a Pet Sitter before and I have definitely never had a complete stranger take car of my horses before. I must admit I was a little nervous to try something like this, but upon meeting you and spending time with you, I immediately felt very comfortable and confident that you would take good care of my horses while I was gone. When I returned, it was like I hadn't even left, everything had been done as requested. The horses looked happy and everything in the barn was in order.
I have raved about you to all my horsey friends and I have personally recommended that they try your services should the need ever arise.
I look forward to using you again in the near future to care for my babies.
Regards,

Trish is one of those big animal lovers. Her heart and home is always open to any animal who needs a temporary home.
When I have to be away, there's no one else I'd rather leave my Boxer with than Trish. I know she'll get lots of fun, attention and exercise...and so will my dog.

Tricia Soulier has, over the past 10 years, taken care of my dogs on numerous week-ends and for at least two full weeks each year. She has cared for their needs through puppyhood and well into their senior years, adjusting the care to suit their needs.
She has always given unstintingly of herself and her time while still following my instructions as to treats and house manners and has always returned them to me healthy and happy.
When I miscalculated the amount food she would need, she took a little to the pet store and searched until she found the one that matched, rather than giving an old dog a different food that might upset a sensitive system. Another time, she took one to the vet when she noticed a change in behaviour and managed to head off a nasty viril infection.
Tricia has my complete trust and truly makes my dogs a part of her home when they are with her. I would leave her in charge anytime, but, more importantly, the dogs trust her (as do most animals) and I find that dogs are very good judges of character.
Yours Truly,
Lynda Short
Before we met Tricia, my family would take me to stay with relatives when they travelled. But car rides made me very stressed, and it would take me a while to adapt to a new house. Now when my family has to go out of town, they arrange for one of my friends from Pawsitive Approach come to visit me each day.
I run to the door when she arrives, and she gives me lots of cuddles. She shines the laser pointer for me to chase until I'm all tired out. My family told her how much I like to sit at the screen door, so she makes sure to let me get some fresh air. She writes a journal to let my family know what I was up to while they were gone, and e-mails them to reassure them that I'm doing fine. My family misses me when they're away, but they feel secure knowing that I'm being well taken care of in my own home.

By the way, one of my friends refers to your service as my "cat nanny" - I like it!
