Work from home sitter/furmom💃🏻

Pet care experience

My name is Tina, I am a native New Yorker, who is very active myself, so I love walking around New York City. Therefore, if you have your fur baby with me, they will be walked multiple times a day and receive plenty of exercise! I am reliable, dependable, extremely responsible and take everything I do seriously. I am a fellow fur mom myself to an extremely friendly and sweet husky-lab, so I know how other pet parents may want and feel when it comes to having someone else care for your precious fur babies. Your fur baby will definitely receive a ton of love and attention from me and my family, my loving grandmother and sweet mother AKA Mama Tina, who does help with walks during boarding and pick up and drop off at times, even my auntie is involved with our pet caring process, it’s truly a family affair. Mama Tina is a part-time nanny, who is excellent with human child, hence she is excellent with fur-child as well. Fur babies will never ever be left alone in my home and my family and I will love your fur baby like our own, that's a guarantee because they really do become part of the family ❤️ I am a social worker, who works from home and as a social worker, we have tons of patience towards humans (sometimes you have no idea), so therefore your fur baby will be in excellent hands! I will send you updated photos and status updates of your fur baby, which I hope some people won’t find that too annoying, my apologies in advance (I get trigger happy with the camera at times - do you need 5 of the same pictures? Probably!). I try to be as transparent as possible with every pet owner and be as flexible as I can because I understand life happens and things might need to be adjusted last minute, so it is totally understandable. Someone will always be home so my drop off and pick up time is extremely flexible. Please let me know if there is any special preference you or your pet may prefer during the walk, doggy daycare, daily drop ins or having your pet boarding. I would love to accommodate as much as I possibly can because a happy pet parent is a happy fur baby. It would be my absolute pleasure in any way possible! I do provide multiple feeding bowls, doggy beds, unlimited refills on brita/boiled water and tons of belly rubs. Also, dogs are allowed to roam freely in my 3 bedroom-duplex apartment home, I do not own a crate or cage (I get asked a lot). I am available to meet prior to confirming any bookings and/or picking up keys, again, I am extremely flexible and it is always good for your fur baby to meet their sitter behind the profile! I am happy to answer any questions or concerns a parent may have to make the care easier for both parents and furbabies. Thank you for taking the time to read the detailed information, I truly appreciate this and again, feel free to reach out or call should you have any additional questions or concerns, if you cannot tell already, I am very happy to chat!!

Tina was excellent with us and our two dogs. We were left frazzled when we got invited last-minute to an event; the booking and drop-off happened within a few hours. She not only took charge with our little furry ones during a harried drop-off but also kept us informed the entire time with photos of smiles, pets and outdoor adventures. She exceeded all of our expectations - cannot wait to see her again!!!

Tina and her family are Super communicative and send plenty of updates! We knew our pup Eli was in good hands with around the clock care and plenty of exercise. Highly recommend to anyone!

Tina helped me take care of Tito for Christmas while I was out of town, and she sent me pictures and videos of him everyday! She also gave me some cookies when I picked him up :)

Your fur baby will always be under supervision when they are staying in my home and will get a ton of exercise and playtime with other furbabies when they stay in home as I have scheduled doggy daycare service from Tuesdays to Saturdays and also board multiple pups as well, (Photos for reference in profile pictures). My mother and I are both very active and love taking the babies on multiple walks and dog park runs because it's a win-win situation when they go out and not cooped up in the home with all that energy!

Information Tina C. would like to know about your pet

Please do let me know your fur baby's temperament and their friendly level with humans and other pups, very important because I do have a pup of my own and also care of additional furbabies either for boarding and/or daycare service. Also, please do let me know how they are with their resource guarding and if they pull during walks or lunge at birds, squirrels or rats? (We do live in NYC)

A typical day

Typical day at Auntie Tina's: Furbabies would get a walk early morning when either my mother or I wake up, then a park run in the late mornings, a short afternoon walk at mid-day, another park run in the evenings and lastly a long walk right before bedtime for everyone.. Programming may change without prior notification that may be caused by scheduling or weather changes. However, everyone will be pooped out by the end of the day, that's a guarantee!! Very important that your furbabies are friendly with other dogs as I have a pup of my own and have scheduled daycare service from Tuesdays to Saturdays and also board additional dogs; so there will definitely be a lot of playtime in auntie Tina's home.
