Safety, trust & environment

Having grew up with dogs and cats, I understand that animals need to trust me in their space, as I need to trust them in mine. I prefer to stick to a routine and a schedule closest to your pets, rather than adapt them to mine temporarily. I do allow animals to sleep on my furniture, however if you do not, I am respectful of that. You know your pet best :) We do have two geckos that reside in cages in my kids rooms, these rooms will be blocked off from visitors.

Information Tasha S. would like to know about your pet

You know your pet best, knowing your schedule and routine helps me better fit into your pets life. I am open to sticking to your feeding, playtime and exercise schedules with minimal adjustments. If they are crate trained, meal time trained and if they are allowed on furniture are important details I need to know. Knowing your commands helps both of us understand each other, ex: come vs here, sit vs down, etc

A typical day

I can be as active or not active as your pet needs! :) I enjoy going for walks around the neighborhood and nearby parks. I can also just snuggle on the couch with my laptop if your pet prefers naps. I am open to helping continue training, though I am not certified.

Pet care experience

I believe in creating a calm, safe environment for pets, whether it’s a fun walk around the neighborhood or a cozy nap at home. My MinPin passed away a year ago and I miss having a companion, hoping I can help be that human for a fur baby who may need sometimes that too. I am available weekdays and weekends, and I always send daily updates with pictures to keep you connected with your pet while you're away. I always want you to feel like your pet is at a home-away-from-home.

Tasha did a great job taking care of my dog, Winnie. She kept me updated and was very accommodating when my plans changed a bit from what I had originally booked. Highly recommend.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
