Availability
I have a very flexible graduate student schedule, which allows me to accommodate most weekday and weekend requests. Communication is a top priority for me—if I’m unavailable at a certain time, I’ll be upfront about it and happy to discuss alternative options whenever possible.

About Tab H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I do not host pets in my own home, as I already have animals, but I’m more than happy to care for pets in their own homes. I approach in-home care with a great deal of respect, recognizing that I am a guest in both your space and your pet’s territory. I’m attentive to creating a low-stress, safe environment for your pet, especially when meeting new animals or caring for shy or cautious pets. I’m also deeply respectful of your home and privacy, and I take the responsibility of being trusted with both very seriously. I’m completely comfortable with pet cameras and frequent check-ins, and I’m happy to provide updates in whatever format you prefer—photos, videos, texts, or messages through Rover. We can always discuss expectations and communication preferences before any services begin.

Former Zookeeper | Expert Pet Care
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m a former zookeeper and current PhD student studying animal behavior. I’ve spent years caring for animals with a wide range of needs, temperaments, and medical requirements—so your pet is in calm, capable hands. I’m physically fit and happy to walk or run at whatever pace your dog prefers, including handling large or mobility-limited dogs safely. I’m also comfortable providing medications and supporting senior or special-needs pets. Above all, I pay close attention to behavior and body language, adjusting care to what your pet needs in the moment. I’ve truly never met an animal I didn’t love, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.

Reviews
Tab had great communication and did really well with one of my pup’s extra needs and medications!

Tab was prompt, flexible and easy going with my puppy who currently has some anxiety. My puppy had a great walk and wasn’t distressed upon returning which was reassuring. Tab communicated very well.

Tab was great and we highly recommend their services. He provided excellent care for our 10-month old puppy!

Tab is so wonderful with my pittie mix, Abbie. She can be reactive on walks, but Tab does a great job of keeping her and others safe while they are out for walks in the woods! Abbie is always tired out and happy after a walk with Tab.
