Caring and responsible animal lover
Pet care experience
I am currently an Animal Science student at UC Davis and have over 7 years of working with over twenty species of animals including reptiles, amphibians, birds, and both exotic and domestic mammals. I currently work at the UC Davis Campus Veterinary Services and have previously worked at the UCD Veterinary Rehab Center, and San Francisco Zoo in their Animal Resource Center (where I have learned how to clean enclosures, prepare diets, properly handle, and train over twenty species of exotic animals). Last summer I worked as a PetsHotel associate in PetSmart where I was responsible for monitoring Doggy Day Camp with an average of 20 dogs per group, caring for boarding dogs, leading individual sessions with dogs, and caring for boarding cats. Not only do I have extensive first-hand experience with pet care, but I also have research experience involving animal behavior, training in raptor handling, and have been a dog owner my entire life. I currently have two cats of my own and 15 other pets (all insects, reptiles, and amphibians)!
Reviews
Tiali was great! She was super accommodating in getting to know my GSD who can be a little stranger-nervous and both my dog & cat absolutely loved her! She kept up great communication, sent lots of photos & left our home well cared for.
Tiali is wonderful. She is our trusted go-to home and pet sitter when we are away. She is a great communicator, always leaves our home tidy, and sends pictures of our pets while we are away. Highly recommend!
Tiali did amazing taking care of my dog Max while I was gone for over a week! She gave me lots of updates and made sure to give him all his needed exercise. She also was super helpful in accommodating his separation anxiety issues. I can’t praise her enough ❤️
Tiali did a wonderful job looking after our dog and home while we were gone. She was so thoughtful in her attention to detail, and checked in with us multiple times over the weekend to let us know how things were going - our pup was very happy with her. She was terrific! We’d book her again in the future!
About Tiali G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are two of the most important things to me when caring for pets. For a pet to feel safe, I always take my time when greeting them for the first time, getting down to their level, and not making any sudden sounds or movements that may come across as a threat to the pet. This ensures an initial formation of trust between me and the pet. Following pet parent instructions is also essential and I make sure to be aware of the pet's needs and their preferred routine so I can make them feel as comfortable as possible. Additionally, I am a very vigilant person and am always keeping an eye on the pet I am caring for, to ensure their environment is safe and free of any hazards and the pet continues to be healthy and happy.
Information Tiali G. would like to know about your pet
Please provide any information about your dog's special needs (medical/dietary/etc.) and any behavioral issues I should be aware of. Additionally, it is important that I be aware of any specific requirements during walking, playing, feeding, etc.
A typical day
Mental and physical stimulation is essential to dogs. If your dog is high-energy, we will go on runs around the neighborhood or any nearby parks and play with toys to keep your dog moving and having fun. For senior dogs, we can rest in the house and I can read them stories and take them out for a slowly paced walk around the neighborhood.

Availability
I am currently taking classes M-F at UCD but have big gaps in my schedule that would allow me to check on your pets throughout the day! I am very open and available to do overnight stays and am pretty flexible on the weekends.
