Happy dog and wagging tail

Pet care experience

✔️ More than 600+ Rover Bookings ✔️ 1+ Years As a Rover Go Sitter ✔️ Reported As One of Their Top 10% Rover Sitters of Virginia in 2018! When I think of my family tree, there are dogs as well as human ancestors that pop into my mind. My love of dogs has very deep roots in my family history as well as my own being. You really can’t think of a person without also remembering the dog that stood by someone’s side––dogs really are a man’s best friend. There have been many dogs I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and taking care of since I was a young child. I’m so grateful for those experiences because it’s made me who I am: caring, reliable, patient, and friendly. Dogs don’t discriminate with their love, and however cliche it sounds, it’s unconditional and constant. I recently watched an online video clip of a homeless man and his Pit bull mix who he said kept him alive over the years because this dog gave the man purpose––a reason to get up every morning––and showed him what love was. This man felt abandoned by the world, invisible to those who walked by him everyday without acknowledging his presence, and he contemplated ending his life. But then he looked at his precious dog, his only friend in the world, and he couldn’t bear the thought of abandoning his little guy, so he stepped off the ledge. Of course, I was balling the entire time as I watched, but it really made me see how dogs really affect the very fiber of our lives. I mean, can you imagine a world without cats and dogs? I certainly don’t want to. Since I move to Northern Virginia, I miss having their company, and I am here to offer a reliable sitting service and help you taking care of your dog. When I lived in Arlington, I worked as a dog sitter/walker. You might come across difficulties such as schedule restrictions, work meetings, travels, etc. that make your experience as an owner little stressful. From experience, I know it can be difficult, and I am here to help you! My work is somewhat flexible, so I can be really adaptable to you and your dog’s needs. I am a professional in the environmental field and take this dog sitting work as a very rewarding opportunity for me to go for a walk, and create a pleasant experience for your dog. I am so thrilled to meet your dog and treat him like my own. I love the outdoors, animals, and our natural world, so walking and playing with dogs represent an opportunity for me to exercise and have fun with them. I worked as a dog walker/ sitter in Arlington VA, so I’m experienced and comfortable with all breeds and sizes. This isn’t just a one-way street. By letting me take care of your pup, you’ll also be gifting me with the love, joy, and boundless positivity that being around dogs affords us.

First time users of River and couldn’t be more impressed. Tatiana clearly cares about dogs and we felt very comfortable with her in our home and checking on our Bolt. He seemed pretty happy too!

Tatiana has been a lifesaver for us! She’s walked our pup for over a year and has always been a joy to work with. She was always understanding of our changing schedules and took such great care of our dog. We would highly recommend Tatiana to take care of your furry friend!

Information Tatiana G. would like to know about your pet

I suggest a quick meet and greet to get us all acquainted and on the same page. Face to face, we can discuss all the particulars about your beloved pup. I’ll want to know everything that pertains to your dog’s routines, preferences, any medications, routines, triggers, etc. The more information I can get, the better service I’ll be able to provide. Communication is really important to me, so please feel free to contact me anytime, day or night. I will also send regular updates by phone, photo, or video––whatever method you’d prefer. I really want to give you peace of mind knowing your amazing animal is in capable and gentle hands.

A typical day

I truly love the outdoors and I am outside every chance I get. I’m a regular visitor to our local parks in Arlington and other parks in the DC area. I used to love taking my dogs during the week or weekends to these areas as well as dog parks in Pentagon City, Mount Vernon Trail, and Potomac Yard Park. If there are special dog events in the city, we’ll definitely be there! Beyond our normal walks and playtime, your pup will get all the love and affection I can muster.
