Availability

I’m a full-time elementary teacher, which means my weekends are completely open for pet care and perfect if you’re planning a quick getaway and need someone loving and reliable to care for your fur-babies. I’m also available on long holiday weekends like Labor Day and Memorial Day. During the week, I’m focused on teaching and tutoring children who are learning to read, so weekends are when I can fully devote my time and attention to caring for pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like family and make it a point to keep their routines just the way you would. I love taking dogs for walks, usually three a day with my own pup, and making sure they get plenty of fresh air and attention. For cats, I’m thorough with litter box cleaning and always make sure food and water bowls stay full and fresh. I’m comfortable giving oral medication when needed, and while I’m not experienced with injections, I’m open to learning if shown the proper way.

Information Tandi P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs. I have experience caring for both senior pets and those who need oral medication, and I’m always gentle and patient with their routines. If your pet requires an injection, I’m happy to learn exactly how you administer it so I can make sure it’s done safely and comfortably for them. My goal is always to keep your pet feeling calm, cared for, and in good hands.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and happy in ways that fit their personality! With dogs, I enjoy going for long walks, exploring new smells, and having fun with fetch or tug-of-war. I’m also a teacher, so I naturally bring a lot of energy and positivity into everything I do whether that’s turning playtime into a mini adventure or winding down with cuddle time and belly rubs. For cats, I love interactive play with toys and making sure they get plenty of affection (or space, if that’s their style!). My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and entertained while their family is away.

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud owner of two wonderful pets. Hadassah, my affectionate miniature dachshund, and Ramal, my playful and entertaining cat. They bring so much joy to my life and have taught me the importance of finding a dependable, caring person to look after your pets when you can’t be there yourself. From a young age, I was known among family and friends for my natural compassion toward animals. As I grew older, I became the trusted caretaker for their pets during vacations and extended trips. My longest assignment was caring for a cat for three months while a family volunteered overseas in Africa. My most unique experience involved providing care for 13 special-needs cats for an entire week. I also have experience with senior dogs and cats, as well as pets of all ages and temperaments. When caring for others’ animals, I provide the same level of attention, comfort, and affection that I give to my own. I’m reliable, organized, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routines. In addition to pet-sitting, I’m active and enjoy daily walks making weekend dog-walking an ideal fit as well.

Tandi is amazing!! Very professional, attentive, and quick to respond. She ensured my kitties were safe and sound while my husband and I were away. Tandi was quick to respond in an emergency concerning one of my kitties and was able to quickly take him to the vet and get help. I highly recommend booking with Tandi if you need to leave your fur babies for a bit. She will treat them as her own and provide lots of updates on how they are doing. Thank you Tandi!!

Tandi did an amazing job and she had excellent attention to detail, and was very communicative. It felt reassuring to know our cat was in good hands, and hope to use her again.

Tandi is extremely responsive and took great care of my two kitties while I was away. She sent daily updates on how things were going and also took great care to tidy up after the cats. She was flexible and also stepped in and helped me out by checking on my fur babies when I ran into unexpected delays with my flights back home. So thankful for her help!
