I am an experienced, reliable and dependable pet lover. I have grown up my whole life with animals. I recently had to put my senior pitbull down so my house is very quiet now.

This is the 2nd time I have used Tanya and she is the absolute BEST!!! She went above and beyond to watch my senior dog!! I always worry especially now that my dog is almost 14, but I don’t worry at all when my dog is at her house! She takes tons of great pictures and videos! You could tell that my dog loves it at her house!! She and her husband are the nicest people! Seriously, I can’t say enough good things about her! She should be the model of how every Rover should be!!

We could not ask for a better first experience. Tanya took excellent care of our new puppy. From potty breaks to play times she was there with him sending updates and pics. We were able to enjoy our night knowing he was in good hands. Thanks again.

Tanya is a FANTASTIC Rover!! If I could give 10 stars I would!! I have a 13 year old dog and am usually hesitant to leave her, but Tanya treated my dog as if it were her own! You can’t get any better than that! I received multiple pictures with multiple updates several times a day and videos too! She took her on 2 walks a day as well!! I told Tanya my dog won’t want to come home! 😂 My dog is set in her ways, but Tanya was so great with everything I told her and I had a long list!! She was so accommodating with everything! Thank you Tanya to you and your husband! I didn’t have to worry at all on my long weekend away because I knew Coco was in great hands!!🐾💕
