Pet care experience

They’ll feel right at home!

With extensive experience in pet care spanning most of my life, including dogs, cats, small animals, goats, and horses, I am confident in providing top-notch service. Having lived on a farm for half of my teenage years caring for dogs, goats, horses, and rabbits has instilled in me a deep love and understanding for all types of animals. When considering my services, please be aware that if your dog may be unruly while away from you, crate training is a requirement. However, if your dog remains well-behaved in your absence, crate training will not be necessary. I allow dogs to stay out and sleep in my home provided I am present. It is essential for you to know that dogs in my care will need to coexist with other dogs, as I frequently have multiple bookings. This knowledge will also need to be known before you step into my home for a meet and greet. This is not a place to find out if your dogs will get along with a group of other dogs. In the week leading up to drop-off, I require confirmation of both drop-off and pickup times. Although I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise and am flexible, I kindly request that clients respect my schedule and provide adequate notice for any changes. Failure to do so can disrupt my household, particularly with other dogs and children present. I strive to be accommodating and am eager to work collaboratively with clients who demonstrate respect and understanding. Thank You !

Tanya is an “Angel sent from Heaven in disguise”.. After our previous sitter we had for 2 yrs since Lucy was 6 months old moved away, we didn’t know who we would ever find to replace our sitter. Well we found her! Thank you so much Tanya for taking such good care of Lucy! Kelli & Tony

Tanya took incredible care of our two poodles. She gave us lots of detailed updates throughout their stay and has a wonderful family and home for all the pups to hang out!

Judah is always well taken care of and this time, he came home saddened to be taken away from his new friends. Eventually he perked back up, but that was a great sign that he had a ball!!!! I have been a repeat customer for at least 1.5 years I believe Tanya's care is top notch, dependable, professional but most importantly caring. Thank you for all that you do.

Tanya is amazing! She took excellent care of our senior, clingy dog! She was happy to accommodate his meds and made sure he got acclimated very quickly. We will definitely ask to book with her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard, plenty of space to get exercise. I follow the routine of home! Food schedules and crates if needed! I try to make them feel at home As much as I can when families are away. Lots of love and cuddles here.

A typical day

I have toys to play with if owner doesn’t bring them! We’ll play catch if they do so! At times go on walks and sometimes car rides if parents allow. They sleep in a bed with a human if they’re aloud and willing! We treat them as if they’re ours.

Let me know about medications or any restrictions! Allergies? Their personalities. What they love and what they hate! How they sleep. What their feeding schedules are. Getting along with other dogs is a must so you should be aware of that before booking. I am very limited to space for keeping dogs separate if they absolutely can’t get along with others!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
