Highlights
Pet care experience
Empathetic animal lover
I’m an experienced pet owner. I had a St. Bernard who I trained from a puppy up until he was 180# and almost fully grown, unfortunately he passed away after a long battle with meningitis. I currently have a two year old chihuahua who I adopted at about 6 months old, and a German shepherd mixed breed puppy. I am comfortable caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and ages. I am also an experienced cat owner, and currently have two cats, and have had 2 senior cats in the past, one who I adopted when they were 17 years old. I have a soft spot for senior animals! I do work full time from home which will impact my availability.

Ratings and reviews
Tatiana accomplished an exceptional feat of caring for our elderly dog who had a lot going on while he was being cared for so graciously in her home. There were plenty of medical care issues that she navigated beautifully making it possible for us to have a relaxing Christmas trip. Our dog had the best Christmas too. Wonderful, thoughtful, skilled care. Our dog is so fortunate. Thank you Tatiana!
Tatiana cared for my old man Phydeau for almost 2 weeks. He was having some sleeping problems and ear problems. She dealt with them promptly and appropriately which led to a healthy resolution while I was out of the country! Can't speak highly enough of Tatiana, Phydeau loves her home.
Tatianna was great with Biggie. He was a little nervous at first which made me stressed but within an hour Tatianna sent pics of Biggie having a great time. When I picked Biggie up he was having a great time. Thank you Tatianna.
Tatiana is a true professional and a very loving person. She will pamper your dog and anticipate every need. My dog is older, requires discipline and has her quirks, and Tatiana was very patient with her and provided nice nurturing environment. Her house is amazingly clean, smoke-free and she lets dogs use the furniture. Even her cats are well-trained and know exactly how to act around dogs! I would highly recommend Tatiana for any type of dog. My Husky loved Tatiana's family. Thank you!
My dog feels like he is in a family and well loved here. The neighborhood is sweet, the back yard great, and the care exceptional.
Tatiana is super nice and patient. Sushi had a great time at her place. Sent me a lot of lovely pictures and made sure to update me at least once a day. Looking forward to working with her again :)

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard and live in a walkable neighborhood. I will note that my husband is a state trooper and we do have a state police canine who lives in our yard (as required by the state). He lives in a fully fenced enclosure within our yard. I would never let your dog in the yard unsupervised or when the canine is in his enclosure; there is another fence around the enclosure so the canine and other dogs will never be face to face. There is a walking trail near a reservoir in my neighborhood that I can utilize if that is something you’re comfortable with. Pets in my home can go on the couch, lay on the bed, etc. I consider my pets and furry house guests as family and not merely possessions. They are all unique individuals!
Pets
A typical day
I love walking dogs and playing fetch, and also cuddling (if your animal is into that!). Please let me know if there are special activities your pet prefers.

- Let me know if your animal has any special needs I should account for. I have experience with oral and injecting medication. I cared for my very sick St. Bernard for almost a year before he passed, so I am no stranger to dogs who need special care. I also have experience with blind and deaf seniors dogs.
