I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for your fur family as my own. I am active and love the outdoors, making walking and hiking my daily routine. Often accompanied by my husband, your dogs and/or cats as well as other pets will receive extra attention. I am sensitive to the way dogs and cats respond to new people . I take the time to understand their personalities taking the time to establish trust. I am currently training a puppy with the basics. It is such an honor realizing how important creating good habits are for a healthy and happy fur family!

Information Tania M. would like to know about your pet

I find it beneficial to be informed ahead of time about critical aspects of caring for a dog or cat including their energy level, training i.e. words known and used, behavior, dietary and exercise needs, medical conditions, and any special requests from the owner. This knowledge enables me to provide the best possible care and ensures a positive and comfortable experience for the dog(s), cat(s) and you!

A typical day

I have a genuine passion for taking dogs on walks and playtime. My favorite activities include playing fetch and engaging dogs both physically and mentally. If your pet loves to play with toys I am happy to engage them. Depending on the setting and specific needs, I bring experience in various areas, such as puppy training, obedience training, socialization, and caring for elderly dogs. I also love cats of all ages engaging with them when they are in the mood.

Pet care experience

With a lifelong affection for animals, I've cherished the companionship of four beloved German Shepherds and multiple cats. I have extensive expertise in administering medications, managing dietary needs, and maintaining daily routines. I prefer to take care of your fur family in your home, where they are most comfortable. Since I recently retired and I can fully focus on providing optimal care for your loved ones. I treat your pet as I treat mine. They are a part of the family. I’m a passionate and experienced pet sitter and dog walker committed to ensuring the well-being and happiness of every pet entrusted in my care. Whether it’s providing photo updates for pet parents, a neighborhood walk to get those zoomies out, or just being a calming presence for shy dogs and cats, I strive to make sure you and your pet are both happy with my service.

Tania has been our primary pet sitter for the past two years and we cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with her! She is amazingly warm, kind, thoughtful, and above all professional! She genuinely cares about our dog, Ernie and takes exceptional care of him. He is a senior dog and is both blind and mostly deaf, but Tania is always thinking of ways to engage and stimulate him - to make sure he has the most positive experience possible. Tania has watched him at our home multiple times, including most recently when we took a 20-day trip to Ireland. We were able to leave our precious fur-kid in Tania’s care with absolutely zero concerns. Not only does Tania take outstanding care of our dog, but she also takes meticulous care of our home. She waters our plants as needed, feeds our backyard squirrels and birds, and ensures that everything is even cleaner and better than we left it. We are so grateful to have found Tania and absolutely love having her care for our dog, Ernie. Tania is simply the best!

Our Gracie kitty said it was another wonderful stay with Aunt Tania! When we returned, everything was clean, the plants thriving, and Gracie happy as can be. We can never express our appreciation for what Tania does - knowing our home and our fur-baby are well cared for while we are gone is worth everything.

Aunt Tania is our kitty’s favorite—we always know our baby is in great hands. She goes above and beyond as both a cat and house sitter, sending daily photos, watering plants, and leaving our home spotless. She even adds the sweetest welcome-home notes. We highly recommend her!

Tania took care of our dog Ernie for us while we were away on a three-day vacation and as always she did an excellent job! We feel like she genuinely loves Ernie and takes care of him as if he were her own! She’s always trying to think of ways to interact with him and give him more stimulation as he is both blind and deaf.🐾🩷🦴 She also does an amazing job caring for our house, which is meticulous when we get back.🏡 💖
