I work primarily in film and production, but those jobs never overlap with my pet care bookings. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m able to fully commit to the pets in my care — including long stays, early mornings, and pets with specific needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care primarily in my clients’ homes, with a focus on overnight stays. I don’t offer boarding, but I do take on drop-ins and walks when my schedule allows. I follow each pet’s routine closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, medication, or quiet companionship. I keep pets engaged, energized, and comfortable — especially during longer stays.

Information Tenielle M. would like to know about your pet

I don’t expect pets to be perfect, so it’s helpful to know about any behavioral quirks up front — things like reactivity, separation anxiety, or even something as common as humping. I also need to know about any medications, routines, or how they interact with other animals. No quirk or “flaw” is ever embarrassing for me 😊 — I’ve seen it all, and I just want to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and understood.

A typical day

It really depends on the pet’s personality and the owner’s preferences. Some pets just want a walk, a meal, and some quiet time — and that’s totally fine! If a dog park is nearby and part of their routine, I’m happy to take them there (as long as it’s within walking distance). I also love playing fetch in the yard or backyard if that’s something they enjoy. My goal is to keep them happy and comfortable in a way that works for them.

Pet Sitter for High-Need Pets

Pet care experience

All my life I’ve lived with dogs. I’ve always felt having an animal in your life is so beneficial. Especially a dog. I mostly had pitbulls and at one point I owned a beagle. You are never to old or to young to benefit from having a dog. For so many children a dog is their first real responsibility growing up. They are more than just a pet they become part of the family. Besides my personal experience my professional experience includes dogsitting and assistant dog bather for a mobile dog grooming truck. I love playing with them and bonding with dogs as well as getting to know more about their personalities. Dogs are so unique in their own special way. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry loved one.

Tenielle did a wonderful job caring for our pup! She kept us up to date with photos, followed our instructions for our dog’s schedule, and kept our home super clean. We’d definitely have her watch our dog again!

Tenielle stayed in touch and Guinness seemed totally happy with her! I would definitely ask Tenielle back to sit for Guinness in the future.

Tenielle was very professional and took great care of our 11 year old pit mix and our house. She is a great communicator as well!
