About Tanya N.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
My current apartment does not allow pets. I can offer dog walks and cat check-ins, or house sits at the clients home. I have experience sitting for vacationers staying in rentals, campgrounds or hotels.
Information Tanya N. would like to know about your pet
Tell me about anything in your dogs environment that they do not like? Doorbells? Small children? Squirrels? I will avoid these triggers or I can practice desensitizing training if you so wish. Is your cat sensitive to pets? Are they a houdini? Let me know so I can adjust accordingly.
A typical day
I usually wake up around 630 to take the pups out to go potty and feed the kitties breakfast. I allow for plenty of time for sniffing on our walks. I know sniffing stimulates a dogs mind just as much as exercise. When we walk we practice manners, dont go up to strangers, stay close to me when theres a crowd. We stop at corners and look both ways. When possible we greet dog friends (if dogs temperament allows) I never go off-leash when I’m sitting, so I like to do something I call “chilling”. We sit somewhere outside and do nothing. This teaches the dog patience and how to regulate themselves. After this we’ll head home and go on another long walk before or after dinner and the pup will sleep long and well. With the kitties I always give them a safe place or room I wont enter so they have somewhere they can hide if they want. They usually like to hang with me as I pitter patter around the house and im always so happy if they choose to sleep with me.

Pet care experience
I have experience sitting at hotels, airbnbs, campgrounds in the local area, parking lot walks on the Mountain, and working with reactive dogs. I can provide additional services including picking up groceries, dishes, light food prep, laundry and other pet + home concierge services. I grew up with Rottweilers, a German Shepherd, an English bulldog and a puglet. My nephews are 90 lb Dobermans and I have helped raise three puppies, including a pitty and a frenchie (separately). I grew up with outdoor cats and the first book I learned to “read” (I memorized it) was a book called “I love Cats the most!”. As a kid I loved reading my Cat Encyclopedia and my dictionary of dog breeds. I love being around all kinds of animals; I’ve cared for birds, horses, snakes, chickens (my favorite!) and chinchillas. I'm happy to help train, it’s something I’m very interested in and have done my own learning through books and online videos. I am happy to pick up poop, vomit, brush fur, give baths, anything for the animals! I am very active, love to get the dogs playing but can also just hang out in the sunny spots with your kitty, whatever your pet likes. I truly believe animals are the best souls.

Reviews
Fantastic across the. board, as usual.
Thanks for taking such great care of Lulu. She'll miss you!
Tanya is consistently great with Manta! She works on all the same training we have already established with him, providing continuous stimulation!
Tanya was fantastic, I would definitely hire her again and recommend her for your pet!
