***if you would like a 15 minute visit, I can modify the price to $14** Hello! I’m Tanya! I am 30 years old. I’ve had cats my entire life and have taken care of dogs for 4 years. I have worked with multiple animals almost every single day now over the years, and I don’t plan on stopping! (squirrels, guinea pigs, bunnies, chinchillas, chickens, turtles, snakes, fish, lizards, and birds included) I have worked for a company as a dog walker and sitter for 2 years. I’ve had over 2,000 visits. I know what it’s like to want to keep my pets safe and not worry about them when I’m gone. I always do everything I can to make sure all the animals I watch are cared for. ❤️ I love sending cute photos to pet parents, it’s my favorite thing. My storage is full of them on my phone. 😆 Your privacy is also important, when I’m staying in your home, I value your space and belongings. I recommend indoor cameras! I will always leave a place better than I found it. 🧼 A little about me: I am an artist. Graphic design, paint, marker, pencil, etc. I have a small business making beanie hats on Etsy. My biz is called Pretty Cool Beanies. 😎 (you can find me on instagram if you’d like to see even more about me 😄) I’ve worked with some local coffee shops, breweries, bands, etc. (Wildflyer, Wild Grind Coffee, CanCan Wonderland, etc) I am NOT a smoker. 🙅🏽‍♀️ 🚭 Disclaimer: I do have many tattoos, but don’t let it fool ya, I’m a TOTAL softie, artsy gal. Not scary; I promise! 😋😆 LGBTQ FRIENDLY 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️ I hope you choose to book with me! ✨

Tanya was wonderful with my kitty, Fern! She cared for her twice a day for two weeks, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Fern was in such good hands. Tanya sent an update and great pictures after every visit, which I absolutely loved and really looked forward to while we were away. I especially appreciated how patient she was with Fern. She took the time to let Fern get comfortable with her at her own pace, and over the two weeks they built such a sweet connection. It was clear from the pictures and updates that Fern really came to trust and enjoy spending time with her. Tanya also took great care of our home and kept everything very clean and tidy. She was reliable, thoughtful, and clearly genuinely cared about Fern. I would absolutely have her care for Fern again and highly recommend her!

Tanya is amazing! She took our pup on some great long walks, administered meds for her allergies, and gave her lots of TLC while we were gone. We came home to a very happy and relaxed dog, all thanks to Tanya’s care!

It’s good to know their temperament, what upsets them, what interests them, if I should be aware of allergies, food sensitivities, if they get along with other animals, how they like to walk them, if they need shoes, if they can only go a certain distance, if they’re allowed on the furniture, all that jazz :)
