Pet care experience

Dogs lover. Dog mom.

Hello, my name is Tanya and I am pet lover. I have owned dogs my entire life. I've taken care of dogs of every kind and have been dog walking and sitting since my early teens. I had boxer and German shepherd and mix dog. I got boxer when she was just 3 month old pup, so I know what it's like to care for a puppy, young and adult dog and senior dog . I currently have a 9yo mix dog Bahira, I had saved her when she was 6 month old. I moved to Chicago from Ukraine almost 1,6 years ago with my husband and my dog Bahira. In Ukraine I was volunteering and rescue abandoned, homeless and abused dogs from the streets, cured them and find them suitable loving forever homes! Through my volunteer service, I was able to get an understanding of collars/harnesses, dog behaviour, body language, canine communication, communication signals, appeasement behaviours, greeting a dogs, respecting a dogs space, approaching safely, being away of surroundings and redirecting the walk if any potential triggers. I want to provide a safe, calm and happy walk for all my Paw Pals. The best part of volunteering for me is being able to spend time loving and caring for dogs and puppies as they get ready for their foster, adoption and forever homes! I also have a lot of experience working in a dog day care in Chicago. I have worked with dogs and I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing, washing and caring for your pets. I have 14 years personal experience in caring for pets. I love long walks and staying outside in the nature. I am comfortable with any breeds and size of dogs. I am responsible, energetic and positive person and look forward to meeting your pets.

Our Winnie loves staying with Tanya and her dog Abira. Tanya is so good with following instructions and giving you cute picture updates. Winnie had plenty of walks and backyard time. Honestly such a piece of mind that is oh so worth it.

Safety, trust & environment

⚠️ About My Care - Safety and Happiness ⚠️ Safety is my number one priority when I'm taking care of your pets. I will always remain cautious and attentive when I'm with your animals! Some safety precautions I take: No off-leashing, minimal interactions with other dogs during dog walks. During any stay, I will try my best to follow your given instructions so that they can keep their normal routines and feel less disrupted and stressed out. If your pets are social, energetic, and love to play, I will make sure to give enough time for that as well so that they are happy and entertained. I strive to provide complete peace of mind for pet parents by regularly sending text updates and photos. So be prepared to receive a few lovely or silly photos ;) When your pets are in my care they will certainly get a lot of attention and love from me. I love to belly rubs, and chin scratches if they allow me to!
