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
In the clients home I always do my best to follow the pets schedule and routine. I make sure to talk to them, spend plenty of time with them and give lots of treats {within reason}. I always clean up any dishes, clear linens, take out trash, put out the garbage cans, and take care of as much as I can for the pet{s} in the home so the owner comes home to loves and happy animals as well as a clean home.
Ratings and reviews
Tenay was great with the dogs and constantly provided updates, pictures, and lots of communicetion!
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. I put the care of my clients pets first and adjust any errands or work I have for the day to that schedule including updating the owners on all care that’s been provided as well as photos/videos to show their pet during care and after.

- I love all breeds big and small! But I feel its important to know a dogs preferences. Do they like kids? Are they ok with children under the age of five or six? Do they prefer a certain kind of food? How do they get along with other dogs? Do they get along with other pets? Are they potty trained? How well do they listen (especially to someone new)? What noises or sounds bother them? What games (if any) does your dog prefer? What are things that might scare your dog ? Are they trained or in training ? What are they being trained for, if anything ? What are bad habits I should avoid allowing the dog to engage in when the owner isn’t present ? Does the dog have a tendency to chew on things, get into the trash or bark excessively ?
