Dependable Furry Friend Care
I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter offering drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. I grew up with Cocker Spaniels, so I’m very familiar with energetic pups, grooming needs, and how to keep dogs both active and happy. I also have cats of my own and understand the balance between giving them love and respecting their independence. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a quick check-in, or overnight companionship, I’m here to make sure they’re well-cared for and comfortable in your absence. I’m attentive to routines, medications, and special instructions, and I always aim to treat your home and your pets with the same respect and love I’d want for my own. Let me know how I can help make your time away stress-free for both you and your pets!

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, go out for potty breaks, and get quality playtime or affection—whatever suits their personality best. During dog walks, I ensure safe, controlled walks tailored to their energy level and leash habits. For house sitting, I provide full-time companionship, keep up with feeding, medication (if needed), and keep the home tidy and secure while you’re away. I always treat each pet and home with care, respect, and attention to detail like I do with my own pets!
Ratings and reviews
My dog Tulip loves Tapanga. Tapanga gave her all the walks and cuddles I would have.
Tapanga has watched my dogs multiple times and I genuinely trust her completely with them. She’s so patient, loving, and attentive, and my dogs are always excited to see her. She keeps me updated, makes sure they stay on their routine, and gives them so much attention and care while I’m away. It’s such a relief knowing they’re with someone who truly loves animals and treats them like family. I couldn’t recommend her more!
Tapanga was great! Our dogs loved her and she showered them with affection the whole weekend. Three dogs is a lot but she didn’t complain at all. She sent great pictures and updates. Just enough to keep us informed a not too many as to disrupt our vacay. The house was exactly as we left it. We definitely plan on using her again. Our dogs loved her!
Tapanga is amazing with my dog. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is with someone so caring, attentive, and loving. She always goes above and beyond, and it really shows in how happy and relaxed he is when I get back. I couldn’t ask for a better person to watch him-thank you so much for being so dependable and thoughtful.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I plan my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time and flexibility for walks, visits, and overnight stays. I enjoy starting and ending my days with pet care—it’s rewarding and keeps me active and grounded. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a full day of house sitting, I make each visit a priority and give pets the attention and consistency they deserve.
