Pet care experience
Adaptable to fit every pet’s needs!
Hi there! I've been a lifelong lover of animals all my life and am absolutely thrilled when I get to spend time around fuzzy and feathered friends. During undergrad and grad school, I looked after the beloved pets of my professors. Now, I have a dog of my own, a 4 year old border-collie mix named Kona, and adore pet sitting for friends when they're out of town. I love to hike, run, and go for walks and would be a great friend for an energetic pup, but I also love to read and cuddle with older or more relaxed friends. I have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs requiring oral and injectable medication. My dog Kona was very anxious and pulled on the lead when we first rescued him. I've learned how patience and positive reinforcement can do wonders for building a dog's confidence over time. Just like us, dogs can sometimes have bad days, but we can help support and celebrate them as they grow! I would love the opportunity to meet in person to discuss any specific needs your pet might have to ensure that they get the best care while you are away. If you think I could be a good fit for your family, please reach out! I look forward to meeting you.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I know that some dogs can be nervous when their human leaves and need some extra thoughtful care. I can be a calm and patient friend to them during your time away and send ample pupdates to keep you abreast of how they are doing. If I accept a full day or overnight care request, rest assured I will be home with your pup or out exploring with them the full time.
Ratings and reviews
We received lots of photos of our dogs. They looked really happy on their walk. Thanks for taking care of them.
Tiare is so sweet and did great with my little guy! I felt that she took great care of my small older dog and even went above and beyond to try to stop the low battery beeping in my smoke alarm!! It really put my mind at ease knowing she was taking care of things at home. She sent regular photos and updates of my dog and was super communicative! Definitely recommend her care!
Tiare is a perfect fit for caring for pets. She grew up in the swimming pool business in Honolulu and made lots of furry and feathered friends along the way. You’ll be in good hands with Tiare!
Tiare is a pro. She cared for our three medium to large dogs for over a week. One of our dogs requires insulin shots twice a day. When we returned, Tiare and the dogs had clearly bonded. It was great knowing they were in her care.
I don't have a dog, but Tiare looked after my pet ball python Cosmo for two months and did a phenomenal job! She always treats animals with love and care, and considers their safety and comfort first. Ball pythons can be very timid, but that was never a problem with Cosmo whenever Tiare was around. Tiare is also very responsible and would never leave Cosmo roam unsupervised. She would be a great dog caregiver!
Tiare has taken care of our two elderly dogs several times, and she is fantastic - responsible, caring, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter.

Schedule
I currently work full time, but would love to schedule regular walks with your pup! I'm available on weekday mornings (6 am - 8 am) or evenings (6 pm onward). I have a flexible schedule on Wednesdays and can do quick 30-minute pet check-ins around the Des Moines, Burien, and White Center areas. I'm available for full day care and overnight stays on the weekends.
