Safety, trust & environment

I’m a certified nursing aide and have years of experience looking after geriatric patients and their pets when need so I’m prepared to handle any situation that may arise during our time together. During drop-in visits and home stays, I meticulously follow your instructions, respecting your pet’s routine and your home. I conduct thorough safety checks of your home and yard during visits, ensuring doors and gates are secure. My services include regular updates with photos and detailed reports, providing you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m committed to understanding each pet’s unique needs, adapting my care approach accordingly. With me, your pet receives attentive, loving care tailored to their individual personality and requirements, always prioritizing their safety and comfort.

Information Tasha R. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best possible care for your beloved pets, I kindly request the following essential information before our first visit: 1. Medical History 2. Dietary Requirements 3. Behavioral Quirks 4. Exercise Needs 5. Comfort Items 6. Potty Habits: For dogs, their usual walking schedule and any command words used. For cats, the location of litter boxes and cleaning preferences. 7. Emergency Contacts 8. Home Environment: Any areas of your home that are off-limits to your pet, and any potential escape routes I should be vigilant about. 9. Socialization 10. Commands and Training: Any specific commands, hand signals, or training methods you use that I should maintain. By providing this information, you’ll help me create a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience tailored specifically to your pet’s needs.

A typical day

From interactive puzzle feeders that stimulate their minds to exciting scent trails that tap into their natural instincts, I have a treasure trove of activities tailored to each pet’s personality and energy level. Whether it’s setting up a fun obstacle course, organizing a doggy playdate at the local park, or crafting homemade toys for a lazy afternoon, I’m committed to keeping your pets physically active and mentally stimulated.

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!
