I do not currently offer house sitting or boarding at this time, however, I’m happy to do frequent drop ins and walks. No aggressive dogs please!

Information Tanya W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your dog does walking on a leash and whether or not they have any behavioral issues. I prefer to sit for non-aggressive breeds.

A typical day

I am very active and love to take your pets on walks or play with them in the yard. Or, if they are more low-key, I'm happy to cuddle with them on the couch, too.

Pet care experience

I have been a dog and cat owner for my entire life. I finished homeschooled all five of my children, they are now grown. I have an 11 year old goldendoodle, a 3 year old Irish doodle, and a feisty orange cat. I am extremely reliable, honest, organized and dependable. You won't be disappointed. I’m also a family photographer so don’t be surprised when you receive a ridiculous amount of lovely photos of your fur babies. I’m available for daily drop ins, checking on your pets and keeping your furry friends company while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and horses. I love being outside and taking walks and beach trips. I’m happy to play ball with your dog to get the extra energy out. I can stop in and feed your cat, scoop the litter box and feed as well as give them attention if needed. Feel free to contact me for more information or for any questions you may have. Please no aggressive dogs, they are not my specialty. :)

Tanya has been amazing everytime she watches Mercury for us! Super communicative and always loves the photos she sends of our pup! Thank you Tanya!

Tanya was fantastic just as all her 5-star reviews describe. She was prompt and precisely on time for every single check in with my 16-year-young dachshund, exactly as promised. She sent thorough updates with pictures throughout each visit, which gave me real peace of mind. She was also very flexible when needed, accommodating my scheduling without any hassle. What really stood out was how excellent she was with my senior dog — patient and clearly experienced with older dogs’ needs. I’d recommend Tanya without hesitation in the Newport area to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter, especially for senior pets. I will certainly work with Tanya again.

Tanya did a great job with our two puppies. We had complete confidence leaving them alone knowing she’d be around to give them a break and a walk. Highly recommend her!

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.
