Tanja was available on super short notice while my mom was in the hospital. She made everything super simple and was soooo understanding & great with my little blind baby. Recommend HIGHLY!

Tanja did very well with a cat who runs and hides when someone comes into the house, or even just to the front door (FedEx deliveries are particularly scary). Bella was well-fed and taken care of, definitely enjoyed the treats I asked Tanja to put out for her.

Just the best. Tanja is so good with our pup Molly! Molly loves her and we can’t be more appreciative of the care that Tanja provides our girl.

Schedule

I have lots of time to care for your pet. I a full time pet caregiver with a side hobby of writing. Your pet will be the center while in my care. For overnights if we have not walked before I prefer pets under 20lbs. If we know each other larger dogs are ok. I don't want to put your pet or my current pets in uncomfortable situations.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard on a lake, so swimmers welcome. I like to walk in your neighborhood or mine. The lake I am on has a sidewalk around it with a couple parks that are dog friendly. I'm also happy to find the best path in your area to walk.

Pets

A typical day

I like to walk neighborhoods with sidewalks. A favorite is Haller Lake or other parks near your home. I also love to throw the ball for fetch lovers. I have access to a private beach so if your pup likes swimming we can get some lake time in. If they like to lounge around they will get lots of scratches.

I like to know if your dog is comfortable around other dogs. Are there any health concerns, or general quirks. For example my dog is afraid of sudden loud noises. This is a great way for me to be of better service. If your pet will be boarded it would be great to have them stop by for a visit first if possible. If not, I will make sure your pet feels safe and have separate area they can be in if there are any conflicts. Your dog or cat won't be alone.
