Firm but Fun
Pet care experience
I have looked after fish, cats, dogs, and even horses. Mostly cats, but I have owned a dog and multiple cats before. My experience is over a decade with a handful of friends / neighbors. I always meet with the owner face to face and get a layout of the routine. I absorb information hands on much better than verbally. At least, until I become familiar with your pets' routine. Every animal is different but I respect each animal the same. I will strive to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable even in your absence. I will always let you know if something seems off in their behavior or demeanor. If they seem to be showing symptoms that something may be off. I'm a very observative person and once I get to know you pet I'll tune into them Having done this for so long, on occasion I have had to give bad news, as some animals wait until their owners are not around to pass on. I've looked after ailing animals, I've been there for them in their last moments and after composing myself, I have let the owners know very promptly that their loved on has passed.
Reviews
We love Working with Tiffany and so does our beautiful Dog 'Bojangles'! He gets so excited when he sees Tiffany! She has stayed with Bojangles many times when we are out of town and we know that he is well taken care of with lots of love and special attention! I would highly recommend Tiffany for your special family member! Leslie
Tiffany is a sweet god fairing young woman. We have known her about 20 years, she lives across the street from us. She has been taking care of our many cats since she was 13 I guess. We go camping 5 times a summer and a trip to Fl usually 5 days at a time. She has the house keys and feeds them am and pm, does a fantastic job. She also plays with and brushes the ones that like it. She loves animals mostly horses but all of them. i believe she would be an asset to any pet care business.
Tiffany is very knowledgeable about animals and is always reliable. She has helped me with my dogs and cat numerous times over the past 11 years. She is mindful to follow any and all instructions and to respect your wishes as the pet owner. I don’t hesitate to recommend her to others. She is trustworthy, reliable and caring! What more could a pet parent want in a caregiver!
Tiffany is amazing with pets and furry friends of all sizes especially dogs. Tiffany worked for me for over a year as my Stable Manager taking care of six horses, donkeys and ponies. And she was best friends with our dog Bojangles and whenever we traveled Tiffany was our go to house, farm and pup sitter. Tiffany is amazing with animals and one of the most trust worthy people I know.

Safety, trust & environment
I always allow dogs to sniff the back of my hand before I ever pet them and I greet them calmly but confidently. I do not allow dogs to jump on me, as I have been knocked over and injured in the past due to this behavior. I will never leave dogs outside unsupervised, unless they have a fenced in yard and do not have a history of escaping. (This would only be long enough for them to use the restroom.) Otherwise, I will always be close by. Outside time can be for potty, play, and relaxation. I prefer to actively play with dogs or at the very least keep them company, even if they aren't the playful type. Whether that is sitting under a shade tree on a hot day or lounging on the couch. Your pet will always be under my watchful eye. I feed as instructed and always make sure there is adequate water. I clean out food dishes once they are finished and I only give treats occasionally. Unless specifically mentioned in the routine such as a greenie or possibly pill pockets.
Information Tiffany M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know the sex of your dog Does your dog have trust issues or food aggression? Are they possessive of toys? Does your dog get along well with other dogs? Are they reactive or aggressive to other dogs? If your dog needs any sort of medication or has any know allergies.
A typical day
Depending on how busy the park is and what areas are available. I may opt to taking them to a dog friendly park. I enjoy playing fetch with dogs as well. If the dog has been especially good. I wouldn't be against occasionally taking into a pet friendly store, such as tractor supply. This way I further the dog's postive experience with me but also am able to take it into a new area, with lots of distracting smells and sound, which is very mentally stimulating.
