20 yrs experience Furbaby Whisperer

Now accepting new clients. I absolutely love animals and they love me too! I can handle animals with a variety of personalties from the shy ones to outgoing I have experience with them all. Just like people each animal has their own unique personality and I love interacting with all animals whether more shy or outgoing. I tailor each visit to meet the individual needs of each fur baby. I love all breeds of dogs and have a wide range of experience ranging from petite Yorkies to large Bernese Mountain Dogs and every breed of dog in between. *I specialize in canine complex rotations and have lots of experience with multi fur baby households who have to keep them separate so it is never any problem if you have fur babies that need to be kept separate from one another for their safety. I can absolutely keep them separate from one another and give them each their special attention time. I have 20+ years of experience caring for a wide range of animals including horses, rabbits, hamsters, fish, reptiles, dogs & cats and turtles! I am a full time pet sitter and have experience with a wide variety of animal personalities which equips me to be able to read them and know how to put them at ease etc. I am more than happy to reinforce training. Just let me know their commands, rules and routine! I currently offer the following services: Drop In Visits (In your home) Whether you are having a long day at the office or if your fur baby prefers to not leave their home when you are on vacation then the drop in visits are the perfect option. Dogs and Kitties definitely are not stressed when they remain in their normal territory and I come by to play and check on them. Walks are included in drop in visits (if approved by you) as well as play time. I'll feed and make sure your fur baby has clean water, remove pet waste as well as keep an eye on everything and make sure your fur baby/babies are doing well. In home visits are a great option for fur babies that are okay with going out 2-3 times a day, or doggies who have a doggy door and need some feeding and loving. Drop in visits are perfect for kitties also as in home visits greatly reduce the stress on your fur baby, whether canine or feline! Walks Anytime you need your fur baby taken for a walk I'm more than happy to come by and walk them. I'm more than happy to customize any walk to meet the needs of your fur baby/babies! I love staying active. I am skilled with administering oral medications. I'm flexible so can book walks or drop in visits last minute if you ever find yourself in a bind or having a long day at the office and need someone to check in on your fur baby/babies. I have personally owned dogs ranging from 7lbs to 130+ so I am familiar with a wide variety of dog breeds/sizes. I currently have a Standard Poodle of my own who is my fur baby. He is so much fun and loves ALL dogs and cats too! I have experience delivering/caring for newborn puppies to caring for senior doggies. I love working with puppies/dogs of all ages and find it so rewarding getting to spend time with furry friends. I also enjoy caring for kitties. I have rescued kittens/cats in the past so I'm very familiar with them as well. I know first hand how hard it is to leave your fur babies whether for work travel or vacation. My husband and I do our absolute best to make your fur babies feel right at home and keep them on their normal schedule while in our care. Your fur babies receive excellent care from start to finish and are viewed like a member of our family. The highest compliment you can give us is the referral of your friends and family. We love getting to meet your family/friends fur babies! Thank you to everyone who has trusted us with not only your fur baby/babies but also your family/friends fur babies.

Schedule

I am currently accepting drop in visits that are flexible on timing of drop in. *My current visiting hours are between 6am-7:30pm. I am flexible; however, with lots of fur babies in need of drop in visits sometimes I may not be able to work in the exact time so if it needs to be at a specific time please let me know before booking so I can let you know if that specific time will work or not. Once the time is agreed upon I guarantee that I will be there during a window of 60 mins prior or 60 mins after the time. Pets that need medication given at a certain time take priority as well and fur babies without a doggy door. I never rush when visiting with the fur babies and leave only once I can tell they are good. My goal is to ensure the babies are not caused any extra stress!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Tia can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
*Please note there will be an added $8 fee for key pick up and drop off if no lock box for the key is provided or other means of gaining access to the home. *There is no extra charge for any additional fur babies or other pets you may have for drop in/walk visits! The more the merrier! *Bookings are not official/reserved until they are paid for. Please confirm the booking asap to ensure your pet is all set and their spot is reserved. I would like to know any quirks (triggers, likes, dislikes) your fur baby/babies may have so I know how best to help them feel right at home. I definitely would want to know if your fur baby has ever showed any signs of aggression towards other dogs or people. I also would like to know what their normal routine is so I can keep your fur baby/babies on their normal schedule to help make them feel most at home. If your fur baby is a puppy I would like to know if they are crate trained. I also would like to know if your fur baby/babies are door dashers or runners! For the safety of your pet I avoid all other fur babies on walks to ensure they do not come into contact with any other babies that may not be friendly. If permitted by you I will let fellow humans say hi but no other doggies to ensure the safety of your fur baby while on their walks.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
