Information Thaina R. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your dog's personality and needs ahead of time, so I know how to fulfill their needs. Each dog is unique in their own way, and understanding their personality helps me know what to expect so I can build a meaningful bond with them.

A typical day

I love playing with the dogs in the house, including playing fetch and tug of war, but my favorite activities are walking/running with them. I love their company while I am trying to stay active. I usually go for a long walk in the morning and a short one in the afternoon.

Dependable and lovable petsitter.

Pet care experience

I’m a caring and reliable dog sitter who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I have been pet-sitting for the past five years, initially in partnership with my ex-husband, during which we hosted over 60 dogs. Now flying solo, I’m excited to continue my journey on Rover with my own account and keep doing what I love. Over the years, I’ve learned that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and emotional needs, and I take the time to truly get to know each one of them. I have a strong work ethic and take great pride in being dependable and nurturing caretaker. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I believe dogs can sense good energy, which is why I always encourage a meet-and-greet before boarding—I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your dog beforehand. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I will do my best to respond in a timely manner during business hours.

English Bulldogge, Pumbaa, while I was away for work, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She sent regular updates and photos of their walks, which really put my mind at ease while I was traveling. Pumbaa was clearly well-loved and was so happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I 100% recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter!

Aspen had an AMAZING time with Thaina! She told us all about it after we brought her home (ha). Thank you, Thaina, for taking good care of our girl.

We had a great experience with Thaina who recently cared for our two dogs. It was hard to find someone who wouldn't have other dogs at the same time and we’d definitely book with her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
