These days I am an entrepreneur, working on building my own business, and I have a very flexible schedule. I mostly work from my computer working on studies and building my business, so I can be available full time at home to care for your fur baby!🤗 Some work I do very part-time as a dancer and dance/yoga teacher, which I do online and in person classes. I am also an Independent Contractor, so when I do book a gig, I’m usually only gone for 1-4 hours. On my spare time Im usually studying Ayurveda, Permaculture & herbalism or working on something crafty:) 💗

Information Tayga A. would like to know about your pet

Are there behaviors I should be aware of? What are your pets favorite activities or toys? What is your pets relationship like with other animals? Any spots they don’t like being touched?

A typical day

I like to take dogs (and cats if approved) on adventures to the park or a nearby hiking trail. Play fetch. Play hide and seek in the house. Teaching simple tricks. Cuddling!

Pets

🤗Full time care w/ VET EXPERIENCE

Pet care experience

I am 37 years old and I have worked as a Vet Technician for over 7 years. So I have plenty of experience in emergency situations, distributing medication, and caring for animals of all ages (plus exotics). I am trained in basic grooming (extra skill if you need your pet groomed;) I love outdoor adventures, and also love chill time too (especially when it includes animal cuddles!) I have been a huge animal lover all my life. I’ve homed more animals than I can even keep track of as I grew up constantly coming across strays and taking them in. I will never turn my back on an animal in need. Animals have always been a big part of my life. By being a caretaker for the animals, this is one of the ways I choose to make a difference in the world💞 I aspire to one day provide an animal rescue/sanctuary🫶

Tayga took awesome care of my dog and house. Without a doubt, I would have her sit again.

Tayga took great care of our quirky senior dog, and our house, while we were out of time. We're looking forward to having her watch Melvin again soon!

Tayga was very patient and calm with our nervous senior who takes awhile to warm up to strangers. He didn't even bark at her on the way out which is rare!

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.
