Information Tiancai G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any medical conditions or behavioral triggers. I have a male dog at home, so if your pet is reactive to males, please mention it—I can keep them strictly separated to ensure safety.

A typical day

I start the day with an active morning walk or run. As a biology student, I love engaging pets with mental enrichment games and exploring nature trails. Your dog will get plenty of exercise, consistent potty breaks, and cozy downtime while I am home studying

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m a Zoology student working toward becoming a veterinarian and a Military Conservation Agent veteran. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, including emergency care and working alongside veterinarians, and I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. With my background, I can also provide informed medical guidance when needed. I’m especially a great fit if your dog needs extra care—such as medical support or recovery monitoring. I can administer medications, closely track their condition, and offer cross-border vet services to Mexico, either accompanying you or independently taking your dog for care. My goal is to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

Dogs were happy to be back again. We know they are in great care. Will definitely use Tiancai for our dog needs.

Tiancai took really good care our of dogs. Treated them just like her own. Got lots of cuddles and walks. Received lots of videos and pics showing how they were doing during their time boarding with her. Highly recommend using Tiancai. You won’t be disappointed.

Gao was an amazing fit for my need(s) for BearBear. Reading her profile was the main reason I selected her. She was very knowledgeable, passionate, and handled BearBear with the care he needed; above and beyond (medicine doses, nail trim, etc.). Her communication, availability and empathy was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

My friend has watched my dog several times, and she’s always responsible and caring. She follows routines well and keeps me updated, and my dog is always happy when he’s with her.
