Highlights
Pet care experience
Playful & polite pet care
I have extensive experience caring for both my own pets and those of others, having provided pet-sitting services for friends in Philadelphia and during my eight years living in Belgium. My experience includes caring for fish, cats, and dogs, ensuring they receive proper feeding, exercise, companionship, and any special care they may need. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my adaptability in catering to their unique needs. I am patient and attentive, particularly with senior pets who may require extra care and gentle handling. Additionally, I’m eager to expand my knowledge and skills, and I am open to learning how to care for a wider range of Rover approved animals. Above all, I strive to make pets feel comfortable and secure in their owners' absence, providing not just basic care but also companionship and enrichment tailored to each pet's personality and routine.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We can always rest assured that our dogs will be safe and well cared for with Tanine. Highly recommended!!
Tanine took excellent care of our puppy who was teething and experiencing a little separation anxiety at night! She kept in touch, took pics and kept our puppy and our home safe! Our pup loved her and we’re grateful!
Tanine was the best! We came home to a happy and healthy cat, and plants. Thank you, Tanine!
Our second time booking Tanine to watch our greyhounds. She is always a pleasure and our pups love her. We never have any worries, Tanine shares updates regularly. We highly recommend her!!
We can’t recommend Tanine highly enough! She was absolutely incredible while caring for our four greyhounds during our time out of town. From the moment we met her, we knew our boys were in the best hands. Managing one greyhound can be a task — but four? Tanine handled them all with such calm, confidence, and genuine affection. She kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear the dogs adored her — they looked relaxed, happy, and well cared for in every update. She went above and beyond, making sure their routines stayed consistent and even giving them a little extra TLC. If you’re looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and with a real heart for animals, look no further.
Tanine was extremely caring and diligent. We are grateful for her expertise and care for our pups.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am currently working on my PhD thesis, which gives me a highly flexible schedule since I can write from anywhere. This allows me to adapt to pet care needs, whether it's regular check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute requests. My routine is not fully fixed, aside from feeding my own pets, which I can coordinate with my parents as I am currently living at home. Because of this flexibility, I can dedicate quality time to each pet I care for, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and routine they need to feel comfortable and happy in their owner's absence.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, safety and comfort are top priorities for all pets. Currently, my space is best suited for dogs, as I have three cats who have their own unique dynamic, along with a tiny senior dog who is friendly and curious. To ensure a stress-free environment, I carefully manage introductions and interactions based on each pet’s temperament. For outdoor time, we have a large space for dogs to run and explore under supervision, though it is not fully enclosed. To prioritize safety, we typically take dogs on walks to a nearby enclosed park, where they can exercise and play securely. Hygiene and pet care are also important to me. We have a designated bathing area with pet-friendly shampoo on hand for those moments when pets decide to roll in something less than ideal. Whether in my home or a client’s, I strive to create a calm, clean, and enriching environment tailored to each pet’s needs.
Pets
A typical day
I love to walk- no matter the weather, I take a lot of joy in hiking. If there is an open field, I love throwing a ball around for your pet(s) to chase. Usually, I end up joining in running around with them.
