Highlights
Pet care experience
I’m the next Dr.Dolittle!
I love animals! And I don’t just say it. I know about proper dog training techniques (including potty training, crate training, and tricks, etc.) Im also very well versed in animal behavior and different requirements for different breeds. So your pup will not only be walked but if it’s a breed that needs alot more physical activity then we may jog instead of just walking or we may venture out further to ensure that they get (at least) the minimum recommended daily exercise . Im also very adaptable, so if your pet is more indoors or older or both. Than Ill be sure that they get fresh air and some exercise (to keep them in good shape) but not take them too far so they’ll still be able to walk home. I also clean up after any accidents they may have (if they’re a puppy and aren’t potty trained) or anything they do outside (ie poop). Lastly Im very interactive. I won’t just walk them and thats that and I will never just leave your dog in a crate (unless told otherwise) I always play and have fun with the pet, while still respecting the home.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard and my cats are both very friendly and playful. I know how to properly introduce animals or both the same and different breeds and I always play it safe when it comes to other peoples animals. I never assume I know someone’s pet better than they do nor do I endanger the pet by taking shortcuts or ignoring instructions. I also do my best to learn the animal and their boundaries before I do anything and I never go beyond the owners safety instructions for their pet. For example if you say “My dog does not do well with other dogs so please don’t play with him/her anywhere but my yard.” Then your yard is where we will stay and play for hours until they’re fully exercised and satisfied!
Ratings and reviews
Tenay was honestly fabulous with Reggie. She followed instructions very well and was very communicative. He is skiddish with new people and he warmed up to her. I received a ton of photos and updates from her. She clearly books many clients and is used to doing this work. She did great from that regard. That said she used blue hair dye in my guest bathroom and it got on the wall. She informed me and did clean it and get it off, but I was disappointed that she was very matter of fact about it and not apologetic at all. When I returned home I found dirty dishes in the sink, three bottles of hair dye in the bathroom, her shirt left on the floor, and the guest bedroom was a mess. I just felt my home was disrespected.
Tenay took very good care or our dogs Ella and June. She made sure they got lots of exercise and play time during our 10 day trip away. She is very thoughtful and caring. A true animal lover!
It’s such a relief to have Tenay checking on our pups. She’s communicative and caring.
My dog loves Tenay!
Once again came home to happy furbies! Thanks Tenay!

Schedule
I make sure to include my pets in my day to day life rather than expecting them to adjust around it. Unfortunately my schedule varies but it is planned weeks in advanced so I can plan my pets meals, enrichment and quality time with me and each other from there to make sure they are happy, healthy and comfortable when I do have to be away. Additionally I’m always researching and trying new things to give them the best life possible and working hard to make sure I can afford everything they deserve and then some!
