Fur-tastic Pet Care

1. Genuine love for animals. First and foremost. 2. Responsible and reliable: I understand the importance of being dependable and responsible when it comes to the well-being of someone's furry family member. 3. Attentive and observant: My keen eye for detail allows me to notice even the slightest changes in a pet's behavior, appetite, or health. This attentiveness helps me identify any potential issues early on and take appropriate action. 4. Patient and understanding: Pets, like humans, have unique personalities and may require different levels of patience and understanding. 5. Excellent communication skills: I know that open and clear communication is key to ensuring a positive pet sitting experience. I actively listen to pet owners' instructions and concerns, while also providing regular updates and feedback on their pets' well-being. 6. Problem-solving abilities: As a pet sitter, unexpected situations may arise, such as a pet feeling anxious or encountering a minor health issue. My ability to think creatively and find solutions in these situations demonstrates my resourcefulness and adaptability. 7. Safety-conscious: I prioritize the safety of the pets in my care. Whether it's securing their environment, handling them appropriately, or following any specific instructions, I go above and beyond to ensure their well-being and security.

Writing a negative review isn’t fun, but here goes. We went on a weeklong vacation with our family last week. We hired a friend to house/dog sit but she couldn’t quite cover the entire time we were gone so we turned to Rover to fill the gap and get someone to watch the house and dogs on the last night. Tanya was available and seemed a good fit. I got the impression that it was both Tanya and her boyfriend, which was a bit of a red flag, but I figured it would be ok. They came briefly to meet the dogs the Friday before we left. They seemed nice and dog friendly. I walked them through the house and showed them the routine. Pros: 1) They were responsive when we reached out and seemed nice. 2) They seemed to enjoy the dogs 3) They left the house pretty clean (bed was stripped and dishes clean) Cons: 1) They asked for an additional $20 to come meet the dogs and get the details on the house before we left since they were “coming from the city”. Again, a red flag, but I agreed. 2) There was a large stain on the upstairs rug where they had sprayed an enzyme cleaner in an attempt to clean up a dog accident. The cleaner made the dye in the rug run leaving a large stain. Full disclosure I never told them how to handle an accident or warn them about the dye in the rug, but they had to manage the dogs for literally less than 24 hours and they weren’t able to prevent an accident or cleanup properly. They also never mentioned this to us and we were left having to try and remove the cleaner from the rug. 3) …and this was the doozie. The house reeked of weed when we returned. We were shocked and had to literally open all the windows to air it out. I confronted Tanya about this via text and she assured me they were not “smoking inside”. There were ashes on the deck which made me think that was true but I was amazed at how much weed one would have to smoke OUTSIDE for the house to smell that pungent INSIDE! We were left with an unsettled feeling that these two had taken the assignment of watching our dogs and house pretty lightly. Overall it was very disappointing and unsettling. I can’t, in good faith, recommend these two. They did not leave me with any confidence in their capabilities or decision making.

Tanya & Igor were amazing! Gimli had a blast with em. They took him out for walks & everything on time. I can’t thank em enough for looking after our lil one. He slept very well & didn’t get anxious when we left so that says something about Tanya & Igor. 🩷

Tanya and Igor had our dog and our home for a week while we traveled. They treated our dog with so much kindness and our space with care that we did not expect! We would happily recommend them to anyone that asked.
