Information Tawny L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any allergies, medication requirements, dietary restrictions, special exercise needs, if they have aggressive behaviors, or any medical history in case of emergencies.

A typical day

Depending on the pets energy level, I do enjoy bringing them to parks or long walks, maybe a good game of fetch. And treats for good behavior if they’re allowed.

Pet care experience

I have always had pets around, Honestly I love them all and can’t see my life without them. They take care of us in the best possible ways and I love the experiences I get with each one. It means a lot to be able to be able to wake up and do something that I love and to help others in the process. I will genuinely take care of every need down to the final detail when it comes to caring for your dogs whether they have allergies or special medications anything at all to make not just them happy but you guys happy as well. I know I am happiest knowing that my dogs in good hands when I leave for a vacation and I will always be more than happy to send photos.

Tawny was so sweet with Rex and was good about communication and sending us pictures of Rex. She was very patient and kind with us when we were running late. Would happily have Rex stay with Tawny again. Thank you!!!

She was just wonderful with my stinkbug. He can be a bit difficult and need a little extra attention but she had me worry free the whole time. Would definitely book with her again! She is just so sweet and caring and sent plenty of updates!

Tawny was great! I have a senior dog with special needs on multiple medications, and he had just had surgery. She listened attentively as I was going over his medical needs and care. During his visits she sent me updates and lots of pictures. Everything was taken care of for him exactly as he needed.

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.
