Pet care experience
I work as a receptionist at a local vet hospital. While I manage their online social media presence, I also do a lot of hands on work with our patients. I am currently being certified through the FearFree program, a program that is recognized by several veterinary organizations. My goal is to ensure that your pet gets the fear free experience that all pets deserve - whether it be in the office, in a walk or in your own home. Outside of work, I have a degree in biology from the University of North Carolina - Charlotte, and a minor is psychology and business management. I have a five year old chocolate lab named Knox who suffers from food allergies and severe separation anxiety. One thing that I've learned from having him is to have patience, and to work at his pace. I have worked with several trainers to understand separation anxiety, and how to ease his discomfort. I've gained a lot of experience from working with these trainers, and have learned so much about how to handle aggressive, nervous, and anxious pets. For boarding and housesitting I am able to commit 3 long visits throughout the day. Some clients have requested that I stay at their house overnight while they are on vacation. While I am open to doing this, it will require an in house consultation with the owner and pets present, and will be based on my availability. You can add on a bath, nail trim, or ear cleaning to any housesitting or boarding request. As a dog-mama I understand the importance of leaving your pet with someone you trust. For any service, I provide daily text updates and pictures/videos of your fur baby. At the end of your visit I will always provide you with a summary of how the visit/services went. If you have any questions - please ask! While I am new to Rover I am not new to dog sitting. I have several clients from my work, and through friends. I will do my very best to keep my calendar up to date, but if you have any questions about dates or times please do not hesitate to reach out.
Reviews
Tanya was thoughtful and caring throughout her stay. Highly recommend!
After our first time having a sitter watch our boys while on a weekend away, we are so thankful that we found Tanya to take care of them for us! Any concern was put to ease and we know our boys were so happy to have a new friend! Highly recommend!
We could not have asked for a better sitter than Tanya! We received photos and consistent updates assuring us that our dog was doing great. To be honest, I don’t think he missed us at all and he is a dog with severe anxiety. That speaks to Tanya’s incredible caretaking job! The house was exactly as we left it when we came home and all of our mail and packages were neatly stacked inside for us. I highly recommend Tanya to anyone in the Charlotte area needing care for their pet!
We Love Tanya! Not only does she give me peace of mind as an owner, Hank absolutely loves her and can’t wait to see her every day. She’s very communicative, very detailed in her daily notes, and works with my schedule and Hank’s demands as a high energy dog. She’s the best, 11/10 recommend.

Information Tanya L. would like to know about your pet
Prior to sitting, I like to know your pets schedule. I don't like the mix or change things up as this can add discomfort to your pet. It's important to know your pets favorite places to go, meal times and favorite snack types. For extended trips I request either an in person or phone consultation to discuss your pets regular schedule, and to discuss your expectations.
