The Curly-Haired Pup Lover
Pet care experience
I have loved dogs ever since I was a young girl and got my first puppy when I was in 3rd grade. I learned so much from my first dog and after graduating college I started house and pet-sitting for friends and coworkers. This is something I still do for co-workers; I am currently the go-to pet and house sitter for a coworker to this very day. Something that friends and family have told me they appreciate is that I am very attentive to their dogs. I noticed the ear infection in my sister's dog and an injury covered by the fur on my mom's dog before they did. As a result, I was able to let them know and their pups got treatment quickly before the issues could escalate. I believe my attentiveness is what sets me apart as a pup-sitter. I make sure to get to know pups so well that I notice if there are changes in their behavior, physical bodies, etc. I am very comfortable with any type of breed and size. I have the most experience taking care of small to large-sized dogs, but I am comfortable around giant breeds as well. I have trained three of my own dogs several commands in the past so I have a bit of experience training a dog to learn simple commands. I am comfortable administrating medications (except for injections), basic grooming, and waste clean-up.
Reviews
Tanisha is an excellent and caring pet sitter! She always takes time to get to know her charge before her job and has been such a caring a sensitive sitter. Our dog has always been wary of strangers and she did not rest until they had made friends. She is careful to ensure that he's properly exercised, fed on time and plays and cuddles him. She goes above and beyond by ensuring the house is tidy and even occasionally buys him a treat or two. Definitely recommend her for your house and pet sitting needs!
Tanisha has been our pet caregiver for at least 10 years. She has provided excellent care for all of our pets during that time. Tanisha knows and understands that Pepsi, Taco, and Oscar aren't just pets. They were and are family! She makes sure that all of the basic needs are met, but she also interacts with them by playing and snuggling with them, and taking the dog(s) for daily walks. If Tanisha is uncertain about something or has a question, she calls us. We can go on trips knowing that our pets are safe and in good hands.

I cannot care for pets in my own home, but I can provide live-in services for pet care or drop-in services if that is more comfortable for the owner. On weekends I am happy to drive for dog walking services or outings.
Information Tanisha F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I need to account for; also let me know if there is something I should avoid doing or something I should make a point of doing so I can provide the best service to your pup.
A typical day
I want to be flexible and accommodating to each pet, so I would prefer to work with each client individually to provide the activities and/or schedule they need. Please reach out to me directly and I'll do my best to meet you and your pet where you're at.

Availability
I am mostly available on weekends and depending on the location of the home, I am available as a live-in pet sitter. I'm currently working as a full-time teacher, but I would like to stop teaching by the summer of 2024 so I would like to build a clientele in the meantime. At the moment, this does mean my schedule is a little limited but it will expand. Despite this, I am happy to accommodate if it is feasible, so please reach out to me even if you are just a little bit interested!
