Here to love your fur-babies!

Pet care experience

Hello there! My name is Tenaya, and I am thrilled to share my extensive experience with animals and my unwavering love for our furry companions. If you're looking for a dedicated and compassionate pet care provider, you've come to the right place! From a young age, my life has been intertwined with animals. Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a deep appreciation for their unique personalities, unconditional love, and the joy they bring to our lives. This passion led me to pursue a career in animal care, where I have gained invaluable experience and honed my skills. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with a wide variety of animals, ranging from playful puppies and mischievous kittens to exotic birds and gentle reptiles. Each interaction has taught me something new and reinforced my belief that animals deserve the highest level of care and attention. My experience includes pet sitting, dog walking, and providing general companionship to pets of all shapes and sizes. I am well-versed in handling different temperaments, ensuring the safety and well-being of every animal in my care. Whether it's a rambunctious play session, a leisurely stroll through the park, or simply spending quality time with a cuddly companion, I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs and preferences of each individual pet. Beyond my experience, what truly sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. They are not just pets to me; they are family. I believe that pets enrich our lives in countless ways, and I am dedicated to reciprocating their unconditional love and loyalty by providing the best possible care. I am committed to maintaining a safe and nurturing environment for your beloved pets, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being while you are away. I understand the importance of clear communication with pet owners, and I am always ready to provide updates and answer any questions you may have. When you hire me, you can trust that your furry friends will receive the utmost attention, affection, and respect. I am available for pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, grooming, and any other pet-related needs you may have. Your pet's happiness and comfort are my top priorities, and I will go above and beyond to ensure they feel loved and cared for!
