Loving & Enthusiastic Dog Carer
Pet care experience
I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 5 when my mother thought you’re never too young to learn responsibility. My first dog was 160 pounds and since him, I’ve had three dogs of medium to large size as well as experience taking care of very small dogs and cats. I always ensure dogs under my care get the right amount of outside time, play, and love, as well as following any special instructions given to me by their owners/parents! I’ve been taking the time to learn bathing techniques for all fur types and have established routes near my home for walking dogs that keeps them safe and entertained!
Reviews
Talia has been a family friend for many years and has frequently cat/dog sit for me and my family! She is extremely responsible and my pets all love her. We entrusted her with access to our house while on vacation and she stayed the entire week taking care of my cat and dog - keeping them happy, exercised, and well fed! (This is quite a task as my dog has had a myriad of health issues and needed extra attention when it came to dietary restrictions and medications.) She has been an animal lover all her life and we couldn't have asked for someone better.

Please only book if your pup is leash trained! VISITS: I will inform you when I have arrived and depending on what is requested will feed, fill water bowls, play with, and/or let out your pup! If there are cats in the house I can also check on their food/water bowls upon request.
