Experienced Pet Sitter Available!
Pet care experience
I'm currently a sonographer here in Fort Worth. I have experience working for dog boarding facilities, veterinary clinics, and in-home sitting for over 10 years. My skills include administering medications, nail trims, ear cleaning, and general bathing and brushing. I do have one large dogs of my own at home and a toddler so I am unable to stay over night at homes because of my family. I am able to stop by at least 2 times per day for usually 20 minutes at each stop unless more time is needed. My husband works from home now 2.5 days per week and together we are available for in-home sitting, doggy daycare, and dog walking within reasonable distance from Saginaw. He is home Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Friday afternoons. I am home one day a week as well, but it changes week to week. With enough notice, I can adjust for a specific day if needed. Why I love dog sitting: I've loved animals for all of my life. I've worked at a dog kennel and veterinary clinics for over 10 years throughout school. I love all animals and have lots of experience in caring for them! :) Our dog and son love other dogs. Experience administering medication: Yes! I have previous experience administering medications for all kinds of pets and am comfortable with injectable medications if needed. My husband works from home 2.5 days per week and helps with any boarders at our house throughout the day. I now work 4 days per week with 1 day and weekends at home. When we are home, we are happy to offer walks, playtime, and anything else needed for your pet that we can do! They become a part of our family during their stay. We have a fenced in yard for play/potty time and an XL dog door if your dog is comfortable using it. We also are able to crate if needed. We prefer that clients bring their own crate due to pet comfort/smell but we do have one XL crate we can assemble and pet gates if needed during the stay.
Reviews
Tasha gave Diesel lots of love and care while we were away for a few days. They have a very pet friendly home. We highly recommend their pet service!
Diesel had a great time and felt at home. Tasha is very welcoming and makes sure pets needs are met. Great communication. Will definitely use her services again!
Tasha and Chris were AMAZING with my German Shepherd. We had multiple visits prior to our stay to ensure it would be a good fit for both my dog and their family. They walked, played, and cuddled with Lucy. I highly recommend them for keeping GREAT care of your fur babies. Lucy was sad to come home and moped around for a few days, she definitely missed their sweet family.
fantastic sitters! communicative, caring, and completely wonderful!

Safety, trust & environment
We have a 6 ft privacy fence with a XL dog door so that dogs can go in and out. Don't worry if your dog hasn't used one before, most pick up on it within the first day or two! And we request new pets or pets that are used to being crated bring their crates to have if needed. For drop-ins, I'm happy to provide any care needed to your pet at the time of the visit. We provide play time, walks, and can help with bringing in the mail, etc. Just let me know what you need.
Home
Information Tasha E. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if they have any preferences for treats, toys or walks. For their safety, I need to know if they have any allergies, medical conditions, or behavioral issues that I need to be aware of. But of course, none of those things would deter me from sitting any dogs! I like to do a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along. We also ask that dogs be spayed or neutered before their stay and up to date on vaccinations.
A typical day
We typically only go for walks around our neighborhood and avoid transporting boarders anywhere for safety. Time I'll spend with your dog during drop-ins: How ever much time each dog needs! Extra house-sitting services: Of course! As long as you let me know, I'm willing to help with what I can!

Availability
I work full time (4 days during the week on 10 hour shifts) and my husband helps out as well and works from home 2-3 days a week. He does have to go into the office 2-3 days a week and on those days, we are not home from 630am-330pm. He is able to come home on lunch if needed. His days in the office are typically Tuesday and Thursday and I have a rotating day off. So we are flexible with pet owners needs and can work with vacation schedules, the more notice the better for scheduling :) and we are both home on the weekends.
