Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets are family!
Dogs have surrounded my life for as long as I can remember! It all started with our family beagles, Chester and Chelsea! We cared for them from puppyhood through their senior years. Chester lived a long 14 years. Having him as early as potty training, all the way through his senior years when he was taking daily medication and on a special diet. Chelsea, who was three years younger than Chester, unfortunately became very ill. Despite going through some of the hardest moments with her, I never left her side. Over the years, I became the go-to pet sitter. I was also happy to look after family and friends’ pets, always making sure they receive the attention and care they need. It was never a job for me as I always saw their pets as my own. If anything I was just happy to be surrounded by animals again! In 2021, we welcomed our mini Aussiedoodle, Moki, who truly changed our lives! She’s affectionate, intuitive, and has always had a calm, nurturing presence. She gets along very well with dogs (and people!) and she naturally adjusts her energy to match those around her. Moki is also incredibly people oriented and honestly, prefers being close to her humans than other dogs sometimes lol🤗 In late 2025, Moki became a mama to five beautiful, healthy puppies 🐾 The delivery went smoothly, and both mom and pups were healthy which was truly the best outcome we could have asked for. Helping Moki raise her litter was one of the most challenging yet incredibly rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. It was done with a lot of intention and preparation. From the planning, pre/post care for Moki, and making sure ALL were fed, comfortable, and set up for success from day one. Fast forward to today, all of the puppies are thriving, and I couldn’t be more proud of them. While I would have loved to keep them all, I knew that wasn’t realistic, and they are now in loving homes while still remaining close, which is a huge blessing. We did, however, keep one very special puppy from the litter, Zumi!🥹 She is Moki’s daughter and the perfect mix of sweet, silly, and full of personality. Zumi is incredibly affectionate, loves to play, and is already growing into her own little personality while still very much being a puppy and learning the world around her. I truly believe having a dog is one of the most rewarding experiences ♥️ there’s nothing like the unconditional love and companionship they bring. As a dog owner, I understand the guilt of leaving your pup at home and the relief of finding someone you trust. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a senior needing extra care, I’ll ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Tatiana has watched my dog several times - she is so easy to work with and very communicative! Our flight got rescheduled, so I appreciated how flexible she was with drop-off and pick-up times. Her dog is very gentle and seems like a sweetheart.
Tatiana did a stellar job taking care of my dog! She sent pictures often where he looked relaxed and comfortable in her home. Charlie and her dog Moki get along great, and it was such a relief to know I was leaving him with such an attentive sitter
she did a great job taking care of my pup! she sent lots of photos updates and was very communicative both before and during the booking :)
I couldn't be happier with the care and affection our dog received with Tatiana. Every day we received an update with photos and we could tell that she was comfortable and happy. When we picked up our dog it was obvious she was both content and well cared for. Tatiana was always responsive, informative and easy to work with. Couldn't ask for a better dog boarding experience.
We really love leaving our Betty with Tatiana.
My dog, Ollie, was cared for incredibly well by Tatiana, and had a great time playing with Moki!! He was so happy that when I picked him up he was reluctant to leave. I received photos and videos regularly, which made me feel reassured that Ollie was in good hands.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am available all week to care for your furry friend, and since pet sitting is my full-time gig, your pup gets my undivided attention 🤗 I also only accept one dog at a time! This means your pup will be interacting ONLY with my dogs (Moki and Zumi), and no other dogs will be present in the home. I do this for two main reasons: the space of an NYC apartment, and because I also have a young puppy in the home. This setup allows me to ensure a safe, calm, and controlled environment for everyone. In a perfect world, I’d absolutely love to live on a farm and spend my days caring for all breeds and sizes of dogs lol but for now, this one on one structure allows me to give each pup my full attention and keep things safe and manageable. Whether your pup loves cuddles, playtime, or just lounging like the kings/queens they are, I’m here to make sure they have the best stay possible. I’d love to be their home away from home!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pups in a cozy, loving home on the second floor of a three-story building that I share with my husband and our sweet pups, Moki and Zumi! Both are incredibly friendly and playful, love making new doggy friends and are always excited to have a buddy around! (Very important to note that Moki nor Zumi are spayed.) My husband works overnight shifts, which means while he is asleep during the day, I have the full day free to give our guest pups my full attention. Having a bonus human around just means your pup will get even more love 😊 he’s just as obsessed with dogs as I am! My goal is for every dog to feel like they are part of the family ♥️ If your pup has any special needs, I’m more than happy to accommodate them wherever I can. I am experienced in caring for super anxious, blind, deaf, and even diabetic pups who required daily insulin shots. Every pup deserves to feel safe, loved, and right at home, and that’s exactly what I aim to provide, ALWAYS!

A typical day
As a dog owner myself, I am always making sure my pup is entertained! Luckily, my building has a bunch of yard space, so walks are super easy and convenient. Secondly, I am a firm believer in interactive toys. Moki and Zumi’s personal favorite is a lick mat. Peanut butter, Greek yogurt, pumpkin purée, I always mix it up! Moki has calmed down as she has gotten older, so she honestly prefers a good nap nowadays but when there are other dogs around, she LOVES to play! And Zumi is only 5 months old🥹 Even though she is still a puppy and does have her energetic moments, I wouldn’t consider Zumi a high-energy dog overall. She definitely has bursts of puppy energy, but she also loves her naps, a sunny window to look out of, a good lick mat, and plenty of cuddles. She is not the kind of dog that needs constant stimulation or attention and is very content relaxing and doing her own thing as well. That being said, she is still a puppy and very much learning how to read other dogs’ energy and cues, so please keep in mind if your dog does not do well with puppy energy.
