Your home, your rules. I’ll learn the details of your pet’s routine and always ask before making any decisions. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and comfortable. Every stay is backed by my personal pet sitter insurance and the Rover guarantee.

Information Tia S. would like to know about your pet

Please share any dietary needs, food or treat allergies, medications, or special accommodations. It’s also helpful to know about your pet’s behavior, including any reactivity toward people or other dogs, and how they do on leash. The more I know, the better I can care for your pet!

A typical day

For dogs: hikes, dog park visits, toy play like tug of war and fetch, or just a relaxed hangout, we go at your dog’s pace. For cats: wand toys, play sessions, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and entertained while you’re away.

Tia took such great care of our four cats while I was away, which is no small feat! I’m caretaking for my parents, who have limited mobility and can’t care for the cats on their own, and Tia was so thoughtful about coordinating visit times with them each day. She was a great communicator, followed all instructions, and sent wonderful updates after every visit. Thank you, Tia! I really appreciated the care you gave our kitties and highly recommend booking her if you’re looking for a reliable and friendly sitter.

Tia did such a fantastic job taking care of all our animals while we were gone. She went above and beyond ensuring they were all taken care of and even cleaned up messes they made. We highly recommend Tia and we would love for her to take care of our animals again in the future.

We were very happy with having Tia as a dog (and house) sitter! She was very good about sharing updates and photos with us, so we knew our dog was in the best hands. I had no worries at all during this time away and would highly recommend Tia to others looking for a in-home dog sitter. Thank you Tia!
