Reviews
Tenaya was the perfect home and kitty sitter for us. Our cats absolutely adore her and she left the place clean as a whistle. Would highly recommend Tenaya for pet sitting and or/house sitting in a heartbeat!
Tenaya is hands down the best pet sitter Ive ever had! We recently moved in together and had just introduced our two cats—one being an older cat with special needs on a renal diet. Tenaya was flawless in helping continue their integration while ensuring our older cat stayed on her diet. We were blown away by how thoughtful, communicative, and caring she was throughout the entire time. Not only did she give our cats the best care and attention, but she also left our home more spotless than we left it! We trust her completely and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you, Tenaya, for giving us peace of mind and taking such incredible care of everything.
We were so incredibly fortunate and grateful to have Tenaya care for the four fuzzy chambers of my heart (otherwise known as cats 🐈 😉) for 10 days at our homestead. Our indoor/outdoor fuzzy babies took to her beautiful, gentle soul immediately and were so well taken care of that when we returned, it was like we hadn’t left at all. Their energy was so relaxed and they were clearly not just well-cared for but loved. Tenaya is trustworthy, reliable and responsible and has a loving and tender way of being that our kittens trusted, responded and bonded to. I cannot imagine a better human to entrust my furry family with. Tenaya is a gem and I highly recommend her!!
Tenaya was amazing with our two dogs, sent photo updates and took great care of the house and plants. She responds quickly, is caring and playful and the dogs loved her. We will definitely be using her services for the next vacation. Thanks Tenaya!
