Pet care experience

Your fur family, my fur family!

Hi, I’m Tanzania! I’ve been caring for animals for over twenty years, through both personal and volunteer experience. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with both dogs and cats—including walking, bathing, grooming, training, raising, and of course, sitting. I’ve also volunteered at Sean Casey Animal Rescue, where I walked dogs, cleaned cages, fed the animals, and helped care for both dogs and cats in need. Even though I’m not a current pet owner, I bring years of experience, I have a genuine love for animals and treat every pet I care for like family. Whether your pet needs a cozy overnight stay, a fun walk, or some playtime and TLC while you're away, you can count on me to keep them happy, safe, and loved.

Tanzania was great with our dog Herman! She responds right away to texts and communicates about how things are going. It was my first time leaving Herman overnight and Tanzania handled everything beautifully

Safety, trust & environment

My place has plenty of space for your pets to run and play. There are also cozy spots where they can relax and sleep comfortably. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow any guidelines you have in place to ensure your pets feel safe and cared for.

A typical day

When caring for cats, I provide interactive playtime using their favorite toys to keep them engaged and active. For dogs, we’ll have plenty of fun running around and playing with their toys too. If the weather’s nice and your dog enjoys the company of others, we can head to the dog park for some social time. If they prefer a quieter setting, we’ll enjoy a trip to a regular park for a good game of catch and one-on-one play.
