Pet care experience

Never met a pet I didn’t love

Born and raised in the Midwest, I have extensive experience with dogs and cats. I have pet sat and dog walked starting at 10 years old and have continued to do so well into adulthood as I supported myself in grad school. I have worked with young and old animals alike as well as pets with higher maintenance medical needs. I’m not at a place in life where I can have my own pets, and, instead, deeply enjoy caring for other people’s pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I make a point to regularly walk, cuddle, and play with pets. I take into account the pets current routines and the owner’s preferences.

For the past 5 years, Tia has been the primary caregiver for our Aussie (Elly) and mixed breed American Rescue (Frida) when we were out of town. Elly and Frida truly love Tia. She is very caring towards them and is highly reliable and responsible while staying with them at our house. They are always excited to see her, and she manages their very different personalities. When challenges arise while caring for them, as will happen on occasion, she always contacts us to get any necessary information, and she cleans up after them when things happen. The house looks as we left it with her. I highly recommend Tia as a mature and responsible pet care giver who loves both cats and dogs and will treat them as her own. Sadly, we are moving and Tia will no longer be in the same city as us, so hopefully we can find someone to fill her shoes.

I can’t recommend Tia enough! She has pet sat for me multiple times and has always done an amazing job. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and super easy to communicate with. She truly loves animals, and it shows in how she cares for them. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my pets are with someone who treats them like her own. I’d absolutely trust her with my pets again.
