Pet care experience

New caregiver for your fur baby 💜

As a child, my family always had a cat. I've been curious to own a dog for many years, and was finally able to as an adult. I have less than 10 years experience with dogs, about 7 years total. The first dog I cared for was a foster dog, who was in my care for a year. Shortly after that, I got a dog of my own. Both dogs were large breeds, so I am comfortable with this size, as well as smaller dogs. With both of these dogs, I also had a pet cat. Currently I have a 17 yr old cat who I adopted when he was 9 yrs old. His name is Notorious C.A.T.. 😻 He has many health concerns, and I have become used to administering meds for him.

Talia is the absolute BEST! She takes the most amazing care of our fur babies every time we are away. It’s such a relief knowing Boo and Bronx are with someone who treats them like her own. She always goes the extra mile — not just making sure they’re fed and safe, but also happy, relaxed and loved! We always come home to two super content kitties, and that peace of mind is everything. <3

Talia is such a nurturing and caring person who you can wholeheartedly trust with your furry family. She has such a calming and loving energy that my cats felt instantly when she came into my home. Thank you for taking such good care of our kitties!

Talia helped us out and took great care of our older cat. She made sure Jazzy had everything she needed at each visit, she brought a laser pointer to play with her, and made sure she got lots of pats! Her communication with us was great, she sent updates after each visit, along with pictures, which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend Talia!!

Talia is an excellent dog sitter! She helped me at the last minute to look after the dogs for a few hours while I attended a job interview! Talia kept both Hugo and Kohl entertained and busy during her scheduled time with them. I could tell she did a great job, as both of them were so tired at the end of the day! Thank you Talia, keep up the great work and thanks for all you do!

Talia took exceptional care of Boo & Bronx while we were away, providing regular updates and adorable photos that eased our minds while we were away. Her reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals made all the difference. Talia exceeded our expectations, and we are incredibly grateful for how wonderful she was to our babies throughout our entire time away! Thank you Talia! You're the best! <3

Schedule

At the moment I have an extremely flexible schedule and am able to help with in-home cat or dog sitting visits, as well as dog walking. There are a few regular commitments in my schedule, and I'm happy to work around these to help bring the care and attention that your pet needs in your absence.

Where your pet will stay

Non-smoking household

Safety, trust & environment

As a temporary guardian of your pets, I would like to have an understanding of their personality and needs. If they require specific attention, then I would like to have all the detailed information shared with me no matter how simple or small, be it grooming, feeding, toileting, or walking needs, or anything else that I would need to know in order to make sure your family pet is cared for properly. Some pets take time to warm up to new people, others have anxiety or reactivity. No matter what the needs are, I will do my best to help your pet feel comfort and safe!

Pets

A typical day

Keeping your dog physically and mentally stimulated according to their needs is my goal and promise to you. We would go for a walk or hike, if possible, play games, and practice any tricks or training that they're working on. Most cats need some socialization when their main human is away. For some cats, this might be simply staying in the same room and chatting with them. For others, it will be long sessions of brushing, or lengthy play sessions. I will do my best to help your sweet cats feel secure and comfortable with me while I'm caring for them. 💜

Please let me know about any special care that your pet requires. How are they with other dogs? How do they react to small children? Any anxiety or reactivity to loud noises or sudden movements? It is extremely important to me that your pet is as happy and well-looked after from the moment you leave to the moment you return, I will take care of your loved pet as if it were my own.
