Safety, trust & environment

I know that keeping your pet in their own environment is vital to keeping them comfortable while you're away. I'd be happy to care for your pet in your home in your absence. I would take being a guest in your home seriously by ensuring things are kept tidy. I can also help maintain plants, receive packages, and retrieve mail.

Information Tenisha N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how your dog interacts with other dogs while out on walks or if we venture to a local dog park. Also, please let me know how they interact with other humans, especially those unfamiliar to them. Lastly, please let me know of any medical issues or concerns that I would need to monitor or manage.

A typical day

Every dog's routine is different, but I love to start the day with a walk or a little playtime and then breakfast for them and for me. After work, more walks and playtime before I head to the gym. Then we'll all have dinner before snuggling on the couch for a bit before bedtime.

Pet care experience

I've had a wide range of experience caring for pets, including my own dog Chloe (formerly), and pet sitting full-time through Trusted Housesitters. I'm skilled in administering medication and adjusting to each pet's unique routine, creating a calm, familiar environment. My goal is to ensure that your pet feels safe and loved.

This is the second time that Tanisha has pets it for me and she did a great job. She's very patient with my dogs, especially my dog who is reactive. The house was clean and tidy when I got home and both the dogs were extremely happy. I will happily have Tanisha sit for us again in the future.

Amazing with our dog Parker! Provided many updates, pictures, and kept our house spotless. Will definitely be using her again!

Really appreciated Tenisha being available last minute to watch my dogs while I had to head out of town for a day. Huge stress reliever to know my babies were left in good hands! She did well working with my skiddish baby, King, as he’s extremely cautious of people. Thanks again!

Tenisha did a great job with my senior dog. Good communication throughout my time away. She was able to administer his medication twice a day. Very reliable. My dog was very relaxed when I got home. Highly recommend! Thanks Tenisha.
