Pet care experience

I loved my furbaby, as I will yours

I had my precious furbaby until he crossed the rainbow bridge at 17. I adopted him when he was eight years old, and he had my heart, as I'm sure yours do for you as well. I am familiar with bathing, feeding, cleaning up after messes, and taking for walks. I am also aware that every dog is different so I will get to know what the owners want to tell me about their dog. I will treat the dog with kindness, as if it were my own. I have been a pet sitter through Rover for four years now. I love animals and I think they pick up on that quickly. I am also able to care for cats, hamsters, and Guinea pigs, etc. No birds please.

Safety, trust & environment

I would prefer to care for your dog in your own home, where the dog is familiar. I would make sure the dog would have appropriate bathroom breaks, and play time, and stick to the owner's feeding routines.

Tia did a fantastic job. She was caring and attentive to our old Glory. She had good communication skills and a pleasant demeanor. We were visiting from out of state. She was flexible when we changed some of the times. If anyone stays at Pioneer Trails RV Park in Anacortes, she is a reliable pet sitter. Another positive experience using Rover.

We used Tia for the first time and so lucky we found her! She was very contentious about getting to know our dogs’ routines and the things she likes the most….like 2 walks a day. While away we received several pic and updates about how her day was going. Very reassuring to know she was with Tia. Definitely will use her service again!

Schedule

I am currently self-employed as a reading tutor, and I have plenty of time between clients to make sure that your dog's needs are met.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Tia can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
How does your dog react around other dogs? Are they trained to obey commands such as sit, stay, come, leave it, etc? How do they get along with cats? Do they have a strong "chase" instinct? (Cars, squirrels, etc.) How snuggly are they? If they are large dogs, will they want to sleep in bed with me? Is that allowed, for any of your pets?
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.
