Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Tabatha and I started pet sitting for my aunt and her 7 cats when I was 14. I am now 35, and she is down to 1 cat that I continue to care for. I always enjoy the time I am able to spend with different animals as a pet sitter. I grew up in a rented home and wasn't able to have my own pets until I was 16. At 16 I was adopted by a beautiful tuxedo tom cat named "Moo." I had 15 wonderful years with my baby. Now, since he has passed, I find comfort again in spending time with other people's pets (until I am ready for my own). I've been a volunteer at the Albuquerque Eastside shelter, and I am looking forward to volunteering again there this summer. I am also hoping to volunteer at Walking in Circles Ranch as well. I have taken an animal first aide course with the Red Cross and hope to further that knowledge more this year. I have experience with small pets like mice, guinea pigs, and hedgehogs. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. I also pet/house sit regularly for multiple-pet homes.
Reviews
Tabatha W. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
My cat was instantly comfortable at Tabitha‘s house which is amazing. Storm has totally stressed out with other cat sitters so I felt great about leaving him with Tabitha. She watched him for almost a month for me and he really seem to enjoy it. And when I picked him up he was so calm. I can usually tell how he’s doing because he had a tendency to pull his hair out when he’s unhappy but he did not do that at all I will totally always use Tabitha as my pet sitter!
Tabatha really saved us during a week where our schedules kept changing. She was extremely flexible with the timing, and always responded right away to any communications. Of course she also took great care to learn about my dog’s needs and how to best walk him. My dog immediately loved her and had the best time playing in the dog park. I would definitely recommend Tabatha!
Tabatha was a wonderful sitter. She took such good care of our dog, Chance. She made sure he had his meds, ate his food, and was clean when he needed a little help! She loved on him like he was her own and part of the family. She took him on a walk and gave him lots of love. She kept me updated daily with texts and pictures. I definitely recommend her as a home away from home for your pet. Thank you for taking such good care of our Chance!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When house-sitting I prefer to have a visual walk through of procedures and also written instructions. I follow orders exactly and contact owners if there are any questions. I send pictures often of pets. I keep homes and animal areas as they were when owners left. I am also comfortable administering medications.
Home
Information Tabatha W. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if dogs have certain triggers, allergies, or fears. I need to know whether or not they are food-aggressive or aggressive towards other animals. I would like to know what your pet's diet looks like and if they have special needs. It is also important for me to know what their exercise needs are.
A typical day
I love playing fetch, even if I'm the one who is fetching most of the time, haha! Summer is a great time to take out the garden hose or kiddie pool. I like hiking on the Bosque or at the Elena Gallegos Open Space even though I don't go as fast or as far as some hyper pups might like. I love taking doggies out for a pup cup at Starbucks.
