Pet care experience

I’m in love with your baby already!

I’m Tasha, a certified nursing aide and lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets with special needs. Leaving your dog with someone else can feel like a BIG deal. You want to know they're safe, loved, and with someone who can handle them in all aspects. That's exactly what I'm here for! For the past year+ I've been part of the Rover community full-time, building my business around giving dogs the attention and care they deserve while their people are away. I especially love working with active, playful, and high energy dogs who need more than just a quick walk around the block. I'm comfortable handling big personalities, lots of energy, and dogs who need plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, some playtime, or simply a lot of love and attention, I'll meet them where they are.

Tasha is our absolute favorite! She is reliable, intelligent, considerate, conscientious, and the glowing review goes on and on! I have been a fur momma for 20 years, and I can without a say she’s one of the best! I can enjoy my time away knowing that my animals are safe and sound AND loved on 😊Our cats Frankie and Maple adore Tasha, and so do their parents! 😊🙃👌🏼

Tasha was a wonderful pet sitter. She took excellent care of our two cats and our dog! Tasha communicated thoroughly during our stay and left the house clean and tidy. We so appreciate the extra care she gave to makes sure our dog was comfortable during the 4th of July fireworks!

Tasha absolutely bailed us out watching our old dog. He's a complete diva and she took fantastic care of him. We'll definitely be planning to book with her again!
