Highlights
Pet care experience
Seniors, Snuggles, Adventure Lovers
Raised around show dogs, with 30 years hands‑on training experience. Professional educator/teacher. Loving, dog‑only care—walks, enrichment, adventures, or calm indoor comfort, individually tailored. Huge Heart. My aunt raised dogs for show in US and Canada - and she was an emergency vet tech. I helped her with her doggies all my growing up years and learned a lot. Working on getting certified in doggy training. Have human BLS (basic Life Support for medical professionals) but also know doggy CPR and basic medical-can give shots and meds. I just have a huge heart and love to love on the doggies. Sitting same rate as boarding and sometimes easier on the doggies. I just want them to have their routines, pets, loves, favorites (if it's a walk or snuggles) - just be as anxiety free, loved on, and happy as possible while you are away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My doggy is on the rainbow bridge. It is just me in the home. I follow the owners rules and wishes. I want to keep to their training and routines. I don't want the owner coming home to a doggy with bad habits or upset tummy. I want to keep the same diet and structure. I'm a professional, certified teacher and past hospital worker. Absolutely love to love on doggies. I have over 50 five-star reviews on airbnb and lots of other references and letters of reference I can provide you.
Ratings and reviews
Took great care of my Bailey and provided great updates while she was in her care.
Tenaya did a great job sitting with our pups. Happy to have her.
Tenaya H. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Tenaya rented a room in my house for just over a month in early 2026. I have 2 papillons that I got as puppies just before Covid hit and shut everything down, which left a lot to be desired in terms of socialization. During her stay she was very patient with their anxious barking and did a great job of calming them down and being careful to give them treats so they thought of her as friendly, but making sure they were quiet and sitting before giving them out so they didn't associate barking with treats. By the end of her stay they would bark when they heard her coming up the stairs, but once they realized who it was, they quickly quieted down and they all got along really well. Between her dedication to fitness and patience with my anxious dogs, I think Tenaya would be a great person to have as a dog sitter or walker!
Tenaya took wonderful care of my 4 dogs and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She is kind, compassionate, reliable, and clearly loves animals. Communication was excellent, and I appreciated the updates and photos she sent. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable with her from the start. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter.
Tenaya loves dogs and is very knowledgeable about dogs. She had a dog that went everywhere with her that has passed. Tenaya likes to walk / hike and that would be great exercise for the dog. Tenaya is very kind and treats dogs well.

Schedule
Currently my schedule is very open for all work. If this does not fill the schedule, will need to adjust around other work. But this is my current priority. If other work is needed, pets still come first and receive 150% love, care, and attention.
