“Warm, Reliable + Medical Expertise

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Tanya! Animals have always been part of my life—I currently have three dogs and a cat of my own (all happily spoiled by my grown kids while I pet sit). With a lifetime of experience caring for pets, I bring both a nurturing grandma energy and the reliability you can count on. I’ve been trusted to care for pets of friends, family, and clients for years—including senior pets and those who need medication. Since I work in the medical field, I’m comfortable with administering medications, monitoring special needs, and providing calm, patient care. When you book with me, you can expect your pets to feel safe, loved, and treated like family. I’ve earned a 5.0 rating with rave reviews from pet parents who appreciate my attentiveness and genuine love for animals. I will water your plants and for a small additional fee can perform light housekeeping. If you would like a through deep cleaning, we can discuss your needs and additional fee at the meet and greet ☺️

Very sweet dog sitter :) Our dogs loved her! Really appreciated her handling our crazy fur-babies.

I appreciated Tanya being kind and caring for our lil old man. On her last day she was very accommodating to stay over an additional night.

Tanya did an excellent job looking after our large dog Juno. She was flexible and accommodating of a short notice booking and sent us updates & photos while we were away. We definitely recommend her!

Tanya was great! We had her watch one of our 3 dogs while we traveled due to having to keep him quiet and mellow (neuter). She was able to meet with us and meet Briz prior to that weekend which made everything feel safe and organized. Our house was left clean and Briz loved getting all the attention for once!

Information Tanya M. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs or strict schedules. Special diets, temperaments, any social anxiety. Favorite play activity. I am well experienced in human CPR and first aid…I’ve watched videos on how to accommodate for animals but have never had to perform CPR on a dog before but I have excellent critical thinking skills ???‍⚕️

A typical day

I LOVE walking along the Truckee River and Rancho San Rafael dog park. A stroll around your neighborhood is just as well. Ball chasing, tug of war, snuggles on the couch…you name it.
