“If you’re looking for a compassionate, experienced, and reliable dog sitter, Tanya is the one to call! We have four energetic dogs ranging from 100 pounds to just 25 pounds, and she handles them all with ease. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or keeping them on their best behavior, Tanya goes above and beyond. Having her care for our pups gives us true peace of mind when we travel, knowing they’re in the best hands. We can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve grown up with two dogs—one small and one large—so I’m comfortable handling all sizes. I enjoy caring for high-energy dogs just as much as calm, cuddly ones. Whether it’s playtime or downtime, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do not have a job, I am looking but am currently unemployed and starting school again in August! I will have plenty of time to visit your pups this summer and even during school:) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and trees for your dog to run around!! I have a Big German Shepard who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs outside!!

About: I have grown up around pets and have owned dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I have experience sitting for neighbors and friends. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, and small animals. I have taken a veterinary assistant course which helps me to know how to best care for your pet! I have never met an animal I didn't get along with and would love to meet and care for yours!

About: I've been around animals all my life. I grew up with dogs and cats and don't shy away from pet hair on my clothes. Currently, I live with 4 cats and love all the snuggles and enjoy each unique personality. I would love to help put your mind at ease by helping care for your animal. I am a teacher and would be able to visit your pet before and after school. I am free during the weekends to provide care for your pet also. I keep in mind each pet has a distinct personality and needs. I will try my best to accommodate each pet and offer support and love when you are not around.

About: I tend to be able to understand a dog's motivations and emotions, and I can calm them if upset or discipline them kindly and effectively. I want to be an animal behaviorist, so I really make it a point to understand them. All dogs I have met love me, and I love them too, so it works well. Dogs are just trying their best to be a great companion, and when their companion is away, I can be there. I work well with cats and other animals, too. I have raised dogs to their old age, and I have fostered puppies. I have experience with dogs that don't want to listen very well, and dogs that listen to every word. I can look after your dog any time during the week, and occasionally during the weekend. If you have questions about my availability, feel free to ask. I am between jobs right now, so I have all the time in the world for you and your little buddies. Just let me know when! Your pets will be supervised inside the house and out. They'll receive any meals and medicines at the proper times, and go for as many potty breaks and walks as the little fellas want. You will have no mess to clean up when you return.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. I had my childhood dog, as well as caring for numerous family members animals.

About: I've taken care of pets of every kind since I was eight. Neighbors, friends and family rely on me to play, feed, walk and take care of their pets when their gone. I'm currently a college student working part-time, so i'll have plenty time to play and take care of your pet! I am pretty much available 24/7 to provide the best care for your animal. At a client's home, I swing by to feed their pets according to their usual schedule. Then, it's outside for a walk, letting them stretch their legs and do their business. I make sure to give them plenty of attention and playtime during the visit, so they feel loved and cared for.

I also am free to cover while you go on vacations :) I am extra cautious with our fur babies and their safety, happiness, and well-being is of utmost importance When I am in a client’s home or backyard, I am always sure to check the environment so ensure it is safe for pets (i.e. fence is locked, no small pieces around for choking, water available, etc).
