Caring for your pet as you do :)
Pet care experience
I've taken care of animals since I was a little kid. I also spent a year volunteering at an animal shelter. When my Mom couldn't keep her dog, I fostered him and trained him until I found a loving home for him. I became very interested in dog psychology and correcting certain behaviors when I adopted my first dog. When I got my own house, I chose to raise a puppy and she's such a sweet, smart, energetic girl that loves practicing agility tricks with me everyday. I very often pet-sit my family's dogs too. From big to small, young to old, or low to high energy, I enjoy caring for all dogs.
Reviews
Taba has been watching my dog, Griffin, for years. Shes always done a great job and has always been reliable. She’s always been good about getting him exercise and giving him attention and I’ve never worried about Griff with her. I feel very comfortable leaving him with her even when I’m gone for multiple days at a time on trips. She has her own dog that’s she’s trained to do a bunch of cool tricks so I know she’s patient and comfortable around different dog personalities.
My husband and I travel a lot so Tabitha frequently watches our golden retriever and Pekingese. She understands dog behavior and is self educated in dog training, which is a huge plus! She sets boundaries when caring for pets, and is patient and consistent in keeping this boundaries. My pets are sure to get lots of exercise when they are with her. She loves animals and all living things, is trustworthy, reliable, and has a natural passion for pet care. I know my pets are in the best hands when she has them. Upon pick up they are sometimes even freshly bathed which is a nice treat. We really appreciate her, would highly recommend.
Tabitha has a special connection with animals. She honors their life, respects and values all creatures. She has helped train dogs and horses, the horse most impressed me. A cantankerous pony became a willing follower , free at her side he would do whatever task she asked. He is still a sweet boy allowing children to play and ride. She is keenly observant and in tune with their feeling. Recognizing subtle cues and responding appropriately. She is a natural born animal communicator. Her heart is in creation.

Safety, trust & environment
Dogs at my home get walks and exercise daily. Fed twice a day, with snacks during relaxing time. I love spending time grooming them too, so that's just a bonus for me to do.
Home
Information Tabitha C. would like to know about your pet
I want to know your pet's favorite things to do, and if they're treat or toy motivated. If there are certain rules/guidelines you follow with your dog, let me know so I can do the same. I'm also willing to help with any behavior corrections if wanted.
A typical day
We will go on walks through the neighborhood, trails through the woods, and have fun playing at the open soccer fields right down the road. We'll play fun, rewarding games for mental exercise as well. There's plenty of space in the house for relaxing time, and a kiddy pool for extra fun and cool-offs. And if grooming is wanted, no problem!

I'm currently available to care for pets each day of the week at anytime (unless there are prior plans, of course). I already care for my pets daily and often am dog sitting my family's dogs.
