Hi, I'm Tiara! I am a homeschool mom to my two cool teenagers and also mom to my 3 sweet kitties - Scout, Sunny and Esmee. I’ve had pets of all sorts my whole life- being with animals bring me so much joy! My family resides in the Sunset neighborhood and I am happy to serve the surrounding areas including the North End, Highlands, Collister, Veterans Park and more. I have worked in the pet care industry since 2005 as a dog obedience trainer, walker and pet sitter for cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, chickens… you name it! Over the years I’ve also volunteered countless hours to feline rescue groups, shelters and as a wildlife rehabilitator. Animals love me and I love them! Your pet is sure to enjoy their time with me, as I bring a balanced energy along with me that allows the animals to feel safe and secure when I am with them. I do not force affection and I understand how to read your pet’s body language. Its important to me to meet them where they are and earn their trust. Walks and playtime during drop-in visits will be positive and enjoyable for your furry or feathered family members. WALKS: I will implement positive reinforcement training exercises on walks to improve your dog’s loose leash walking skills so that walks will not only be physically stimulating, but mentally exercising too! I’ll always go at a pace that is age and ability appropriate for your doggie. DROP-IN VISITS: My time with your pet can include potty breaks, poo-pick up, feeding or refreshing food and water, play, lots of love and even training reinforcement as requested. Furthermore, if you need mail collected, plants watered or a garden tended to in your absence… I’m your girl! CATS: I am happy to clean litter boxes and sweep/vacuum surrounding areas, refresh food and water, brush them if desired, play with them and love on them as much as they want. Along with dependability and experience, my schedule is flexible. I am trustworthy and honest and will love sending you pictures and videos of your pet while I’m with them! Full disclosure: There may be times that my 14 year old daughter will accompany me for walks and drop-ins. She is also very experienced with pet care and especially loves dogs! She is the red head pictured with our neighbor’s golden retriever in my photos. :) If you would like to schedule a free meeting to see if I am a good fit for your pet, please reach out!
