I do work full-time as a zookeeper so my hours are a little bit different than the typical person. I’m usually out of the house from 6:30am until about 3:30pm.

Whatever you do for your pets is exactly what I do for them. I will always follow that same routine to the best of my ability to make sure they are the most comfortable they can be.

Information Tegan M. would like to know about your pet

When sitting a new dog I like to know their personality and preferences (ie. favorite toys, places to walk, when they eat, how they like to be pet). NO breed restrictions, love all fur babies!

A typical day

I know the best dog parks and dog friendly spaces! If your dog is energetic or just needs some more exercise we'll get along especially well as I love to take them on my runs with me.

Pet care experience

Who better to watch your pup than a professional tiger trainer! My love of animals led me to my career as a zookeeper which means I have direct and professional experience with daily animal care and training. Ive worked with animals from manatees to monkeys so I am comfortable caring for any size or age animal and am more than willing to accommodate for any special needs! Also be sure to let me know if you are in the process of training your pup as I can help you to keep up those behaviors during the walks/stays. I am also a certified veterinary assistant so you can rest assured that your pet will be safe and loved with me receiving the best care possible. Long term sittings are my fav and I can also be available for last minute bookings.

I’d highly recommend Tegan. We found her after another sitter cancelled last minute before our trip and were very fortunate she was available. She was very responsive and we came home to a clean house and 2 happy dogs!

Tegan did a great job with Koda! She troubleshooted Koda’s initial anxious reaction to being alone with her very well and they became besties in no time. I found my apartment how I left it. Would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter! She’s truly amazing with animals.

We found Tegan last minute before a trip after our original pup sitter fell through. She was wonderful to communicate with, put us at ease, and took wonderful care of our home and babies. So grateful to have peace of mind while we are away.

Tegan was great! Very communicative, friendly and helpful. She took great care of my somewhat difficult pup! 🐾

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.
