Pet care experience

Warm and Caring Dog Enthusiast

I am a an animal lover of all types. I have lived with and taken care of dogs from age 7 to 15, and have been dog, cat and house sitting since 2012. I have hosted both small and large dogs, and have cared for 2-3 dogs at a time, so understand how to handle dogs in groups. I also love cats and have dog and cat sit for families, especially during the vacation season in the summer. I am used to crate training, as well as having your dog run free. I LOVE animals, and will do all I can to make sure your furry one is safe, taken care of, and loved. I am also very communicative and don't mind sending text or picture updates, and letting you know how your pet is doing. I'm also tied to a lovely network of other nonprofit professionals with dogs, so your dog can have a social life as well! I'm very good with animals, and intuitive, and know how to make them feel comfortable, but also hold firm to any rules and guidelines of care that you have set in place. At the end of the day, I want your pet to feel as safe, loved, and cared for as you make them feel.

House Sitting • Jul 25, 2026

Wonderful service. We used her before and were impressed with the quality of her care for our two small doggies. She kept us updated with pictures, the house was spotless when we returned, and the dogs were well taken care of. This is the same as last time she dog sat our two dogs. We were impressed that the two dogs recognized her when she first arrived and were excited to see her. We will always try to get her services first.

This is our second time having Tavia sit for us. She went above and beyond with great communication and was able to prepare special food when our doggie had an upset stomach. We are so thankful for her and will be reaching out in the future!

We were very pleased with Tavia. She left our house clean, and sent us nice pictures. I noted when we returned and she stopped by, the dogs were very excited to see her. It was a real pleasure having her sit for our two dogs and we plan to use her again in the future.

Tavia looked after both our senior dogs in our home. She was great at sending updates and kept the house so clean! We appreciate all of the care she took with our doggies and would hands down ask her back.

It was my first time leaving my senior dog with someone that wasn’t family, so we were all a bit nervous but Tavia made things so easy and smooth, and he warmed up to her so quickly! She watched over our dog and cat and our home for almost a whole week, and everything was just as good as we left it when we got back! She sent plenty of pic updates and was the sweetest! Will definitely think of her if we ever need to leave them again!

Tavia is AMAZING. Our first time ever trusting someone aside from close friends or family to stay with our baby and Tavia could not have helped make this experience more comfortable for us. Our dog was well cared for, played with, and she checked in with me so frequently I was so comfortable being away. She always kept our home immaculate- which was an added bonus I really didn’t think much about. Couldn’t recommend her more ❤️
