*~ SERVICES ~* HOUSESITTING Housesitting includes walking/feeding/playing according to your pet's usual schedule. Unless otherwise agreed, this service includes staying the night at your place. I often housesit together with my partner, so please let me know if this is something you are comfortable with. For your peace of mind, both my partner and I are insured by Pet Sitters Associates apart from the Rover Guarantee. I will do my best to keep the routine that your pet is used to. My day usually starts around 6-7 am and ends around 10-11 pm. Let me know your pet's favorite games/activities! I love to keep them entertained. I'm very clean and respectful to your space. I personally don't wear shoes in the house. I'm a homeowner who loves taking care of my home, so you can be confident that I will take good care of yours. Feel free to let me know if you have any plants that need watering and what day to take the trash out. I consider myself very detail-oriented and no request is too silly! You can rest assured that I will follow your instructions. For vegan/vegetarian clients: Both my partner and I are vegetarian, so we will not be bringing in or preparing any meat products in your home. Security cameras: I strongly prefer being in a space that has no cameras inside the house (outside is fine). If there must be a camera, kindly disclose where they are to me and I will consider it on a case-by-case basis. **Any undisclosed cameras will be covered and/or unplugged without prior notice.** DROP-IN VISITS Drop-ins include 30 minutes letting your pups out for a potty break/play time in your yard or on leash if you don't have a fenced yard, and then feeding and water change if needed. Drop-ins do not include a full 30-minute walk (but I could squeeze in a 15-minute walk). For cats, drop-ins include play time, feeding, and scooping the litter box. ----------------------

Information Tanya S. would like to know about your pet

Feel free to mention if your pets have any special needs, enjoys certain things, or have any triggers I should be aware of. Also please leave me with any relevant emergency contact numbers.

A typical day

Playtime - I love providing mental stimulation! Do you have puzzles, toys, nose work activities, or other games you like to play with your pups and kitties? Let me know and I'll happily incorporate it into our day. Walks for pups - Let me know their usual schedule, how long you would like them to be walked, and any favorite routes. I will do my best to keep walks consistent to what they are used to.

Pet care experience

Needless to say, I love animals! I have been a house sitter on Rover since December 2022. Outside of petsitting, I have a translation business that is mostly online. So I usually will be able to spend a good chunk of the day with your pets ~ though I would still need to run out to do errands/meetings here and there during the day.

Tanya has been incredible with our dogs and exceptionally detail oriented. Having 2 large dogs and a puppy is a lot to handle, but she has made it look easy.

Tanya was amazing! She entertained our needy dog. Gave him extra love and activity and documented everything extensively. So many great pictures and videos. She also left our home spotless. We are so grateful to her for staying with Archie!!

Tanya watched our cat and house during the ice storm last weekend. She provided great details and photos every day and was even flexible to stay later when our flight was delayed coming home.
