Pet care experience

Pet lover with a decade of varied e

Hello! While I own a cat who is my heart, I have petsat and helped others with their pets for over a decade. I have taken care of dogs as small as teacup dogs all the way up to Saint Bernards, and befriended and taken care of all types of cats. I like to have as much information as possible to establish a great groundwork with your pet, so do share all about them! My policy is to update you as frequently as you would like, pictures always included. I look forward to meeting your pet and working with you for a great experience!

Safety, trust & environment

I fully respect whatever parameters and principles apply to your home and your pet. How you prefer them to be walked, areas to play in, food schedule, treats, litter box frequency, etc. all depends on what works for you and your pet-respect of the client’s home and the well being of the pet are of the upmost priority to me.

Tala took great care of our special needs paralyzed senior dog. Although he sleeps a lot, he can be very demanding of attention in the evenings and Tala was great with spending time with him. With his condition we know it is a lot of work, and Tala was very willing to take on the task and provided excellent care and correspondence. She is attentive to things, very reliable, and genuinely cares about pets as if they were her own. It's always a blessing to feel comfortable with a petsitter to ease the stress of leaving your furry family member behind.

Tala took really good care of my pup! My dog tends to get really sad when I leave, but she gave him lots of love and attention. She sent me TONS of photos which I loved too. Would highly recommend Tala ?

I'm glad to say that Tala provided excellent care for Bane during the 7 days she stayed at your house! She displayed great dedication by taking him for walks three times a day and ensuring his well-being by staying in the house. Bane must have felt comfortable and loved with her around. I highly recommend Tala for any pet-sitting needs in the future!

Tala is by far one of the best dog sitters I have ever used. She was able to help me out last minute and took all the required steps to make sure that my pup was happy and my mind was at ease while I was away. Good morning and good night photos every day, paid attention to my pups particular schedule and make sure he was able to sunbathe every day, multiple times! I will definitely be seeing Tala again, my pup loves her, and so do I! Thank you!

Tala is wonderful with animals. I have yet to see her with an animal that doesn't love her. She is very patient, attentive, responsible, and caring. She walked in and even with are most reserved, shy cat who doesn't like ANYONE, she immediately warmed up to Tala and is lock step with her whenever she is pet setting for us. Absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Tala is the most responsible and considerate sitter I have worked with. She always shows up on schedule and she is very careful about following instructions exactly. I trust her with my dog because I know she will treat her kindly and take care of her as if she's one of her own pets.

Schedule

I work remote full time, so I’m pretty versatile in terms of being able to house sit and spend time with your pet! I can swing by on a lunch to get them some exercise and replenish their food and water, or house sit so they have a buddy to hang out with.
