Caring, dependable, thoughtful.
Pet care experience
I am available for house and pet sitting! I will cater to your house or pet needs and perform exceptional sanitation per your request. I have years of experience caring for various pets with and without accommodations. Additionally I have taken dog training educational courses to gain the skills to work with your pup and help them feel heard and cared for. As a psychology student I have additionally learned how to be receptive to nervous or anxious behaviors. I have experience working with trained and untrained dogs. I can do multiple walks per day depending on the pets schedules and needs. Regarding house care, I am flexible with scheduling and timing. Overall, I aim to help your pet remain happy and healthy. If your dog is energetic like mine, I will take them outside or to a friendly park to play with them and provide them with brain stimulating learning/playing activities. If requested I will spend extra time with your dog(s) to train them using treats or dog food that is approved by the owner(s). Just draft me some instructions/routines (be sure to include everything; allergies, emergency contacts, and anything else important to yourself) to follow per your booking and I will thoroughly do so!
Reviews
This was our first time working with Tabitha. She stayed with one of our dogs and our cat and she did a great job. When she met with us ahead of time, she asked great questions and really seemed to want to gather as much info as she could, which we really appreciated. Our little dog, who can be stand-offish with new people warmed up to her almost immediately. While we were gone, Tabitha kept in good communication with us. Our power went out one morning and she let us know immediately and also took the initiative to talk to our neighbors to get more info. She checked in several times. Our house was very clean when we got home and the pets seemed well-cared for. We will absolutely reach out to Tabitha again.
Tabitha, thank you for such a positive experience! Tabitha was very responsive and easy to work with. She kept to the pups routine and they seemed to be very comfortable with her. She left the house just as we left it. I definitely be happy to rebook Tabitha.
Oh my gosh Tabatha was a lifesaver for us being able to last minute come stay with our pup, she is very Conscientious and handled a hotspot situation with our dog like a professional,. The house was spotless when we returned and she even gave us instructions on how to take care of hotspot when she left. I would not hesitate to have her in your home and watching your animals she is so caring and sweet. I will definitely be having her back❤️
Tabitha was fantastic! She impressed me with the seriousness and detail of her questions at our meet and greet. She handled a plumbing issue when we were gone with good sense and grace. When we got home the place was spotless and more importantly Loki and Callum were happy and calm and clearly felt super comfortable with her. I’ve already referred my neighbors to her and hope she’ll be available next time we need to go out of town!
