Pet care experience

Reliable & Experienced K-9 Handler

Animals have been a central part of my entire life, and I treat every dog with the same attention, structure, and care as my own. I'm an experienced K-9 handler in Search & Rescue, Detection, and tracking from South Africa. Whether it's keeping high-energy dogs active on long walks, managing structured routines, or just hanging out keeping them company, I focus on safety and positive reinforcement. I also have experience with high anxiety dogs & senior dogs. You can count on reliable communication, timely photo updates, and a safe environment while you're away.

Tiaan is an advocate for animals from the biggest to the smallest. His good and kind nature attracts them like a magnet. As an animal enthusiast, they bring him much joy and he shares it right back. He is also a brilliant dog trainer! I’ve seen the whole process, and it’s mind blowing. Tiaan is a caring, trustworthy and reliable young man. A big guy with an even bigger heart for animals!

Tiaan Barnard just loves animals so much any dog, cat or birds does not matter he will always be concerned and help them. He is very good with training dogs and loves to play and walk them. His own dog is like his shadow, trained so well and loves him so much. Tiaan is a responsible and well mannerd person. He respects other people and understands dog behaviour very good. He can be trusted with taking care of your family pet, for sure.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I'm visiting your home or hosting in mine, safety and comfort for your pet come first. I have no other pets in my current household, your pets will be the only ones in my care. I maintain a secure, pet-proofed environment free of hazards, ensure fresh water and regular feeding as advised, and closely monitor behavior & follow your schedule to the T. You will receive prompt, reassuring photo updates during every visit or stay so you always know your pet is happy and secure.

A typical day

A typical day combines active exercise, mental engagement, and plenty of downtime. We will enjoy structured neighborhood walks, interactive play, and scent games if your fog is up for it, alongside peaceful outdoor time. I follow your pet's regular feeding and nap schedules closely to ensure they feel entirely at ease & at home.
