Your very own Eliza Thornberry 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi everyone my name is Ty and I am just here to give some extra loving to your fur babies 🐾. I have 4 dogs of my own who are more than spoiled. I’ve walked dogs, cat sat, bird watched as well as taken care of small mammals and reptiles. Working with animals has always been my passion. I currently work as a vet tech and love what I do. I like to take my dogs and clients dogs for long walks in the park and if I pet sit I like to do little road trips to nearby attractions so your pup can experience new smells. If you give me the opportunity of trusting your fur-panion with me, I know that your pet(s) & I will become the best of friends in no time.

Great with our kids and our little monsters! So happy to have met her! When having someone in your home and caring for your love ones it’s imperative that you have trust. Taina is a person with integrity and a caring nature. She took sick care of our little Dobermans (Eddie and Betty) so well they didn’t miss us! Lol you’re in great hands with this gal.

On time!!! Responsible and great energy! She has been sucj a help with our new wild puppy. (Sam pit/lab mix). We were able to train ourselves with a few quick commands and discipline. She is worth every penny.

I first met Taina when she was in college studying Animal Science and Equine studies.( I had to look it up). It was something special to witness when a human being truly connects with an animal right before your eyes. The horses she cared for where calmer when she was there, great energy. I hired her to assist me on my small farm and she was and absolute delight. Kept my animals on a great feeding schedule and fitness regiment. She is a real gem🤗

Taina has been an incredible dog sitter for Casey my year and a half old Golden doodle. I work over nights and finish up early mornings. I found myslef ending my work night exhausted in the morning. I wanted Casey to have a good walk and a friend of mine was already using Taina to walk and dog sit. I decided to give Taina a chance. This gave me time to exercise and shower when I get home and run errands in the evening. Taina has a special bond with the dogs she looks after. Casey is excited when he sees her and she has is a great help to life! Taina is professional, well respected by dogs and their owners and im thankful for her service.

Safety, trust & environment

Both of my pups are potty trained, non destructive and have free range in my home. I don't mind if my client would like their pet crated. I make sure that when I'm house sitting; I have a check list of everything that needs to be done so that I can execute them efficiently. I provide ample amount of playtime as well as down time. The day before I leave I make sure to give your dog a bath so that when you come home your pup is clean happy and ready for bed snuggles.

Information Taina L. would like to know about your pet

I have no preference, I’d like to know if your dog is friendly towards other dogs or new people as well as your cats. It would be great to know if they are timid/skittish, have any treat restrictions, allergies, behavioral issues ie: anxiety, aggression, trembling and avoidance of, as well as barking, snapping, scratching at humans/other pets. I want to make sure I approach every animal/situation correctly so I’m not at risk and don’t put other clients animals at risk.

A typical day

I like to take dogs all over the city, especially to all the different dog runs that the city has built. It’s a great way for dogs to enjoy new views, smells and socialize with many different dogs and make new friends.

Availability

Even though I have a full time job, both of my dogs get 3 walks a day. Each of their walks is an hour and a half. We go to both riverside and central park and sometimes we walk throughout the city getting pup cups from starbucks. I enjoy taking them to dog runs so that they can run around meet new dogs and people.
