Animal caregiver, volunteer & lover

Pet care experience

Hi, I am a graduate student from Csueb, I have two B.S. degrees in biology and kinesiology and am working on my master's degree. I also have been a volunteer at the east bay SPCA for the past few years, along with the marine mammal center and various organizations. I love animals! I also have a dog and a cat myself. I grew up with all sorts of animals in the house: dogs, cats, hamsters, iguanas, rabbits, chickens, etc. I also mostly work from home so i will be home to ensure frequent cuddles and potty breaks every 2-4 hours, as needed. I'm looking to just have more pets in my life and make some extra income to help support my family. I lost my little best friend of 20 years recently and love spending time with other dogs. Growing up, and my whole life I have had tons of pets including, cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, chickens, horses, iguanas, snakes, and many more random critters. I am a natural caregiver and I enjoy having animals in my life. I am very responsible and nurturing and I will treat your baby as my own. I work from home and am working part time. I will be home to provide cuddles and potty breaks. I can crate or let them sleep in the bed. In your home i am flexible to follow the rules/comforts already established.

Tanya was excellent with my dogs! She came for a last-minute booking due to a family emergency, and it was wonderful knowing that my dogs were in her care!

Tanya was a great sitter for our 75 lb golden doodle! She texted and sent pictures often and took care of the house seamlessly. Bella bonded to her immediately. Definite 10 star review!. We recommend her highly and will have her back if possible.

Tanya took great care of our two dogs when we were out of the country for a full week. The communication was fantastic with lots of updates and photos. She walked into a tough situation but was able to find solutions for all the problems that she encountered. I would definitely ask Tanya to watch the dogs in the future and highly recommend her to others.

Tanya cleaned well before she left. We ended her stay when we realized she didn't actually stay the night, or get up with our dogs. She would leave in the middle of the night, and not return until late morning. We found this unacceptable.

Is your dog up to date on shots? Do they get along with people and other animals or not? What are your dog's favorite activities? What do they not like?

A typical day

I love going to the Oakland redwoods with dogs, or point Isabel, or even just a nice street. I am an avid hiker and camper and love taking dogs outdoors, as long as they love it too.
