About: Animals are my absolute passion! I have been around animals my whole life and will treat any dog like they are part of the family!

About: What sets me apart is that pet care is a passion I truly love animals of all kinds—big or small, energetic or laid-back, quirky or shy. Caring for pets isn’t just something i do, it’s part of my daily life. I treat every animal like part of our family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a relaxing walk, or just quiet companionship, we’re tuned in to each pet’s unique personality and Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m currently in online nursing school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home the majority of the time. This means I can provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just being there to keep your pet company. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs lots of stimulation or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I’m here to give them the love and attention they deserve. In my home, pets receive consistent, loving care in a calm and safe environment. Since I’m home most of the time thanks to my flexible online nursing school schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention they need throughout the day—whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding and potty schedule, offering playtime, or just being there for cuddles and companionship. I’m very adaptable to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and quiet, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn their unique preferences and adjust my care to match what makes them happiest. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority, and I treat every animal in my home like family.

“Tina was extremely communicative and I was kept up to date throughout the entire walk. I love that she filled out the rover card and sent pics as well. It is helpful for a dog momma that struggles to leave him to see his happy face and know he’s doing well! Thanks Tina!”

About: I've been taking care of animals from fish to Llamas since I was a young child. Nothing makes me happier than being with animals. I've been taking care of my friends' pets for so long, I figured I'd make help other folks too. I make my own schedule currently, so if we are a good fit, it's no problem to make my schedule work around what you need. I am more than happy to accommodate any specific requests and or needs that you may have. I trust your judgment and know how important it is to respect the wishes of the pet owner.

About: As a dedicated dog walker and pet sitter, I bring a genuine passion for animals and a commitment to providing the highest level of care for your furry family members. What sets me apart is my attentive, personalized approach—each dog is unique, and I tailor my services to meet their individual needs, whether it’s a high-energy pup that needs plenty of exercise or a senior dog that requires a gentle pace. With a strong focus on communication, I ensure you're always updated on your pet's activities and well-being. My priority is to create a safe, fun, and enriching experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind. I believe in reliability, punctuality, and a calm, confident demeanor that animals respond well to, helping even the most timid pets feel comfortable and secure. As a stay-at-home dad, I spend my days with my 4-year-old, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets. We enjoy outdoor activities, so dog walking fits perfectly into our routine. I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. It's important that any dog I care for is comfortable around children, as my little one will often be part of our walks and playtime. Your pet will be in a loving, active environment where they’re treated like family. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize a routine that keeps pets happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I ensure pets are fed regularly, with my puppy receiving three meals a day. I’m diligent about providing frequent potty breaks, especially after naps, meals, and playtimes. I engage pets in stimulating exercise that is both fun and beneficial, like retrieving and tug of war, which my puppy loves. I also create a safe and comfortable space for them to rest, such as a crate for my puppy. Throughout the day, I incorporate short obedience training sessions to reinforce good behavior and keep their minds active.

People trust me to take care of their animals like they were my own children. There is nothing more joyful than hanging out with a pet, and I look forward to spoiling your babies as well! About me: My husband and I moved to Waynesville in 2021 from the tri-state area; yes, I'm a Jersey Girl! Bob will probably join me on walks and drop-ins, so you'll get two sitters for the price of one! We have two rescue dogs - Beukeboom, who is a Cavachon, and Cassidy, who is a crazy zoomie dog! I have a flexible schedule, so whatever time you need assistance, I can be there for you. I know what it's like to need help with pups!
