Information Tia P. would like to know about your pet

Having worked in rescue and been a foster dog and cat mom for a lot of years, not too much surprises me. Animals, like people, can have their own quirks and personalities. Let me know what your fur family needs to feel safe and secure while you're not around.

A typical day

Our days follow a "work hard, nap hard" rhythm designed for a dog’s natural instincts. We kick things off with a morning trek through the woods, where your pup can sniff, explore, and burn off that "zoomie" energy in a safe, pack-oriented environment. Midday is reserved for rest and recharge—we head back for some quiet downtime before playgroups and shorter afternoon jaunts. You’ll get photo updates of our trail adventures, so you can see exactly which log your dog conquered that day!

Pet care experience

About Me I’ve spent the last decade in rescue/foster and dog boarding, so I’ve worked with all kinds of pups. I don't just "watch" dogs; I swap four walls for the great outdoors. 🌲 Whether your pup is a seasoned hiker, a senior who prefers a slow sniff-and-stroll, or has medical needs that require a watchful eye, I’ve got you covered. My Ideal Match 💖 I’m looking for a pup who isn’t afraid to get their paws a little dirty. My days are spent hiking and hanging in the woods, focusing on fresh air and natural enrichment. What I Bring to the Relationship: 9+ years of rescue and professional handling Experience in medical care (medication administration, senior support). A "paws-on" approach to outdoor adventure. Swipe right on the ultimate forest adventure—I can’t wait to meet your best friend!

Tia was great and so accommodating on such short notice. She kept me up to date with how my pups were doing and made sure they were comfortable.

Tia did an absolutely outstanding job caring for my three German Shepherds. Anyone who has experience with the breed knows they require attentive, confident handling; and Tia delivered exactly that without missing a beat. My pups were fed on schedule, exercised regularly, and taken out for bathroom breaks consistently throughout their stay. Clearly, Tia took their routine seriously and treated them with genuine care. What really set Tia apart was her communication. She sent photos of the pups playing outside, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She also asked thoughtful follow-up questions about their care before I even had to bring anything up. This kind of proactive attention to detail tells you a lot about a sitter's professionalism and dedication. I will absolutely be booking with Tia again and would recommend her without hesitation to any pet owner, especially those with large or high-energy breeds. My fur babies were in great hands!

Tia was so great with Frankie! Frankie is a one year old pup and still learning her manners We actually learned a lot from the drop-in and meet and greet with Tia! We will definitely use Tia for Frankie help in the future!

Tia took excellent care of my border collie for 6 days. He got exercise and affection, what more could you ask for?
