Highlights
Pet care experience
College student & animal lover!
I've been walking and caring for dogs every chance I've gotten for the past 8 years for neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with all sorts of personalities, energy levels, and ages. Having a fur baby of my own, I understand how important it is to adapt my care style based on your pets' needs. Excited to get to know you and your furry one!
Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
I believe in safety foremost, under any and all circumstances. Having your pets' best interest at heart means that while under my care, they are in a safe and trusted environment at all times. Whether I'm pet sitting in your home or walking your pet around the neighborhood, their wellbeing is my priority.
Ratings and reviews
Tia has been such a life saver! Winnie absolutely adores her and I appreciate how she treats our girl like a queen! Tia is always on time and consistent and makes my life easier, which is such a blessing!
Tia is wonderful with Winnie and it has been such a blessing to have her!
I am pleased to recommend Tia as a pet sitter. She is exceptionally responsible, dependable, and punctual. Her kind and compassionate nature makes her wonderful with animals, and she always ensures their safety and comfort. In addition to being attentive and caring, Tia is trustworthy, communicative, and highly organized. She follows instructions carefully, keeps owners updated, and goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel happy and well-cared-for. Anyone seeking a reliable, professional, and genuinely caring pet sitter would be fortunate to have Tia care for their pets.
Tia did a wonderful job with Enzo. He loved her immediately and went with her easily on his walk.
Tia is an exceptional pet caregiver. As a dog owner herself, she understands their needs and care. I have a small dog, London, who often struggles with anxiety, especially around people she doesn't see regularly. Tia has always been very gentle and patient with her. She lets London approach, sniff her hand, and gives her adequate time to make her feel comfortable. That gentleness is what impresses me the most about her. Beyond her love for pets, Tia is also a hardworking nursing student. She is reliable, adaptable, and a great problem solver. Not only do these qualities allow her to thrive academically, but they translate to her work with pets. Because Tia is compassionate and trustworthy, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet caregiver.
Tia and I have been close friends for 14 years. She is a dog mom and I have always seen her treat her dog Meeko with utmost love and gentle care. It was important to Tia to train her dog when he was young. As a result, Meeko is very well behaved and thriving. Not only is Tia a responsible person, she is also reliable. She is currently studying to be an LVN, and she is a good student. She is the type of person who always shows up on time and is as prepared as possible. She has dog-sat for family members many times. Above all, Tia is an empathetic and nurturing person who takes excellent care of dogs, whether they are her dogs or someone else's.
