Dog Lover

I've grown up walking, sitting, and loving dogs my entire life including my Great Dane and German Shephard. While both dogs have sadly crossed the rainbow bridge, I now have a goofy 7-month-old Great Dane pup who I love to take to parks, hiking, and even swimming when we can find a safe spot. I am comfortable working with dogs all across the spectrum from crazy, land shark puppies to sweet, senior dogs! I am a big supporter of positive reinforcement training and am very familiar with understanding a dog's behavior from raised hackles to playful growls. If anyone in my family or friend group needs a sitter, they know that they can trust me with their fur baby. I consider watching your dog a privilege and a great responsibility. I'd love to meet your doggo!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets with confidence, commitment, and compassion. Whether I spend 20 minutes with your pup or an hour, I will shower them in love, be intentional in understanding their temperament, and treat them as my own! My priorities are that your pup has a safe and fun time and you can rest knowing they are being loved on.

Tallya was really helpful taking Reba out for walks when we needed someone. She communicates in a timely manner and it was easy working with her. I would recommend and will be using Tallya in the future. Thank you Tallya!!

We asked Tallya to take care of our 2 big berners on very short notice, and she was incredibly flexible and diligent in looking in on them while we were gone. Thank you, Tallya, we would highly recommend her to any dog parents in the area!

Tallya was great! She was available last minute and took great care of both dogs. She provided pictures and left a great summary at the end.

Schedule

I'm currently working from home so I have the freedom and flexibility to show your pup the love and attention they deserve when they need it. Because of my remote schedule, I am available for check-ins & walks throughout the week between M-S from 7 am until 7 pm.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Tallya can host up to 7 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your pup has displayed any sort of aggression (food, towards other dogs on walks, etc.) so that I can make our time together safe and engaging. I want to know ahead of time how to best support them with their behavioral tendencies. Additionally, if you want a walk, please make me aware of any behavior tendencies such as pulling on the leash, positive or negative reactivity to other dogs/people on walks, fear of loud noises, or anything else. For house sitting, I unfortunately cannot provide constant care as I have daily walks but can stay the night and do multiple hours long drop ins throughout the day!!
