Pet Care Pro Caring for your Pup

!!I will be adding a $5/day charge for each dog that requires care/cleaning above & beyond that of a typical stay. Dogs that urinate frequently in my home will incur a $50 cleaning fee to cover time, supplies, and/or professional services! **NO DOGS OVER 20 LBS. FOR IN MY HOME CARE. Sorry for any inconvenience ** I have always had a passion for animals. I have over 12 years experience providing care to dogs and small pets, plus I’ve worked as a zookeeper and a kennel technician caring for puppies. I can provide all basic care plus bathing and oral/topical medications. I also specialize in caring for dogs with anxiety and senior care. I also care for small pets (birds, reptiles, rodents, etc). When you request a booking, please know that your request is incredibly important to me and I will respond as quickly as possible. ##PLEASE NOTE: Walks include just that. If you require feeding or other additional care, you will need to book a Drop In service. Thank you##

Tia is very responsive to communications, I feel my pet got excellent care while he was with her, and he even made some new friends. Will never take my pet to a kennel again.

A great experience, My puppy had such a fantastic time. She was very communicative with pictures and videos, and understanding when my travel time back got delayed. I would definitely be booking again in the future when I need boarding services.

Thank you Tia for another wonderful stay! She and her family were amazing with our precocious pups, including the baby. Will give her a call any time we travel!

She took Excellent care of my senior shih tzu. My dog requires special food and medication and she was more than happy to accommodate. She came home clean and calm and happy. Will definitely use again!

Tia is a great sitter for our dog. This is the second time we've used her, and Harper came home happy and exhausted!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have 3 small pups ranging in age from 3-10 years old. They are all crate trained and crates are utilized while I am at work for their safety. We use tie outs for potty and outdoor play, while also providing dozens of toys for indoor playtime. My pups are fed on a schedule and fresh water is always provided. In your home I would follow your rules and routines in order to keep your pup safe and healthy.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs for walk in our development. We are away from main roads, in a neighborhood that does not see thru-traffic. My daughter enjoys taking our dogs in the yard on their leads to run and play. We also enjoy playing tug o war and fetch. I also enjoy treating dogs to pup cups and ice cream (with parental permission of course!)

Please let me know in advance if your dog has any special needs, medical issues, or behavior struggles so that I can be prepared for them. If your dog requires medication, please be prepared to explain how they best take the med (in cheese, liquid, etc).
