Safety, trust & environment

If an opportunity arises where I am at my home with your pet, I have a fenced in backyard for outdoor play. Indoors I have several dog beds of varying sizes for your dog to feel comfortable and right at home and dog toys to enjoy (both of which get cleaned after every use dog visit)

Information Tanya M. would like to know about your pet

Where applicable, it is helpful that I have an understanding of your pets eating habits, potential health/medical care issues, character/personality, likes/dislikes, temperament, sleeping habits and daily routine

A typical day

I have a roster of Iocal parks in my area that I take my dog clients to for fun/excitement. The majority involve a 30-40 minute walking commitment. As well, (2) nearby dog parks (Dedham and Needham), to leverage. With cats it’s about finding things to amuse them. If they aren’t shy-things like yarn, flashlights and feathers

Tanya was wonderful to work with, and was so good with my 2 dogs. She was able to help me out with a super last minute request, and I’m so grateful for how she handled it. It’s so good to know your pets are in good hands when you have last minute travel plans.

Tanya did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs. They can be difficult and Tanya was able to deal with each one's personality and idiosyncrasies. She stayed in my home and was incredibly neat and respectful. I think she even took out the trash! 5 STARS!

Tanya was very caring and attentive to our dogs. We felt confident they were well taken care while we were gone. Tanya took our dogs on several walks and to parks and shared photos to update us.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
