Information Tala B. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if there are any special conditions that your dog has that I would need to be aware of. Before I begin watching your pet, I would love to go through and special care instructions you have and want me to follow!

A typical day

I love to go to dog park, go on walks, car rides, play in the yard, cuddle and sometimes go to the pet store and get a special dog treat if they’re allowed! I love to go for walks around lakes when it’s nice out, and anywhere not too slippery in the winter!

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of animals of all kinds including senior dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, gekkos, rodents and many things in between since I was 14 years old. I started out with people around my neighborhood, but have since expanded all around the metro! Reach out to me with any of your pet needs!

Tala did a wonderful job. My pets loved her. She was on time and close up the house perfectly. 😊

This is the second time Tala has stayed with my cat. I’m able to relax and enjoy my time away knowing he’s in good hands. Tala is very responsive and I love seeing what he’s up to with the photos she sends.

Tala did a wonderful job caring for my very vocal cat. I really appreciated all the photos and videos. I highly recommend Tala for house/cat sitting.

Tala was just excellent. She was able to accommodate a sitting request at the last minute when another sitter I had engaged bailed with two days notice! She was prompt and flexible and was terrific with my dog and cat. I am very pleased with her work and will absolutely book her again! Thank you, Tala!
