I am a stay at home mom! With lots of side jobs here and there! Pet care is one of my passions. I have plenty of time to care, walk, and play with your pet! I have an 13 and 11 year old who love to help as well. We love to cuddle with your pup and go on walks.

Information Tanya C. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

I have toys to play with if owner doesn’t bring them! We’ll play catch if they do so! 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.

Pet care experience

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 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. 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 the most reliable and friendly boarder I’ve encountered. I feel relieved and know she is safe every time I leave Birdie with her & her family. They do a superb job and are my go-to people for Birdie’s boarding.

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.
