“Tifany made me feel comfortable in leaving my dogs in her care. She met with my dogs a couple times before the trip so they could get to know each other. My dogs are a bit picky about strangers and they warmed up to her quickly. During my trip, Tifany sent me daily updates and videos which reassured me that I had left them in good hands. She took wonderful care of my dogs while I was away and I would definitely use her services again. I highly recommend Tifany to anyone looking for a responsible, kind and caring individual to watch their pets while they are away.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day. Because of that, I understand the different needs pets can have—whether it’s the playful energy of a puppy, the patience required with older pets, or the little quirks that make each animal unique. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but the genuine love and attention I give to every pet. I treat them like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while in my hands. As a college student and athlete, I have a structured schedule that keeps me organized and disciplined. Because of this, I’m able to carve out consistent time during the day for pet walking. My mornings, afternoons, and breaks between classes and practices give me the flexibility to reliably fit walks in. Being active already fits perfectly with pet walking, and I see it as a great way to balance my routine while doing something I love. I’ve had a lot of experience caring for different types of pets. Back home in Texas, we have several outdoor dogs since we live in the country, which has given me a strong understanding of how dogs need to be cared for in different environments. I’ve owned dogs ranging from a Labrador Retriever to a Chihuahua, and that variety has taught me how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. From differences in food and water requirements to rest and activity levels indoors versus outdoors, I’ve learned how to make sure every dog feels healthy, comfortable, and cared for.
“Yazmin did a wonderful job with all of our fur children. The house was kept up and was Fantastic being able to keep the in their own place with Yazmin keeping an eye on them. Great commutation . Thank you”

About: I have had 20 years of one on one care of numerous different dogs and breeds. I have trained puppies and have done hospice care for my senior dogs. My love for dogs runs deeper than words can express. I have administrated medication in abundance of creative ways to administer. Walks and exercise is so important for the health of dogs and humans alike. It only takes about 5 minutes of time for dogs to get comfortable with me. They instantly feel the warmth, love, comfort and safety I am able to create, from years of knowing how to get to know them. I love exploring and hiking and I always love to have company that has four legs. I love to sleep with snuggle bears. If that is not something that is preferred I have had crated dogs and am comfortable not sleeping with them too. I welcome and respect your ways of caring for your pet and look forward to making your time away as comfortable and confident as possible. I am fortunate to have schedule flexibility. It is a pleasure to work with my client’s humans’ in advance in order to be prepared and meet their needs and expectations. I am able to come care for your pet where you are. I have limited space at my home. I can take care of their needs in the comfort of their known environment
