Need dogs in my life

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover and I don't care about what type of animal we are talking about. If it is a pet, I want to give it love! With that said, I mainly love dogs because, besides the accessibility, they are so innocent and so straight forward in life. No mind games or guessing needed. I've taken care of dogs of various breeds and sizes because almost every close relative I have when growing up, had dogs and I was the go-to girl when they needed help. I personally had a Doberman and a Miniature Pinscher during my teenage years in Brazil. In college years overseas, I got my second Miniature Pinscher puppy in my life and he lived for 17 years. Yes, I brought him back with me from overseas! Unfortunately, he passed away in 2020 of old age. I haven't gotten another dog since then, but living in a neighborhood full of dogs, helps me curb the urge to get another dog for now and delay the inevitable heartache. Hopefully in a very near future, I'll finally decide that I am ready to face that kind of loss again in this life, in exchange for another 14-20 years of unconditional love. I know it's worth it. Dogs bring so much love and happiness into our lives that when they leave, no matter their size, they leave a giant meteor crater size hole in our heart. I personally still find it unbearable. I am very respectful of people's property, dogs and time. I am punctual, reliable, careful and follow instructions very closely because I really care about the dogs. However, I will not administer shots or try to give pills to dogs that are known to be difficult to give those to, unless it's a pill in a pill pocket that your dog will gladly take as a treat. I can feed the dog, and make sure he has water, before leaving it after the walk. Your dog(s) will get my full attention because I don't walk with dogs of different households and I also do not browse my phone while walking dogs because I like to be aware of my surroundings in order to make sure we all have safe outdoor experiences.

Tania was so excellent with Maverick—patient, eased into getting him comfortable, and gave me great updates along the way!

Tania was amazing! She was very communicative and sent lots of updates and pictures during the visit. She agreed to a visit on short notice, and did everything I asked. A pleasure to work with, I highly recommend.

Tania is the kindest dog walker ive had. She was so sweet and patient with my rescue German shepherd. Always made sure he had a great time and gave him the exercise he needed while taking the best pictures. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I am respectful of your property and dog(s). I will always make sure to bring in any packages you may have by your front door and double check to make sure the door is properly locked before leaving.

Information Tania M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know in advance if your dog is aggressive, gets extra excited towards other dogs, or just takes off after squirrels, because depending on the size of your dog, I could get seriously injured and your dog could gets into some kind of trouble as a result! So, please be honest about this as it is extremely important for the safety of both parties (your dogs and I).

A typical day

I like walking on the Green Belt because there are water stations to keep the dogs hydrated and it's not too hot for them. Besides, there's so much to keep any dog's senses stimulated (dirt, trees, squirrels, birds, etc). But sometimes I just tell the dog "you're the boss. Which way are we going today? " and let them walk anywhere they want and sniff everything they like. It is, after all, very much about them.

I do things on my schedule and I've decided that I want to walk dogs as my daily shot of feel good (some people drink celery juice, some people drink coffee, I choose to pet dogs), and make new friends while I am at it. New dog friends, that is, but if you are nice, we can be friends, too.
