Happy pet staycation!

I am a pet lover and know how important it is for owners who can't take their furry friends along to have a place they feel safe and comfortable with. I have been watching animals of all species since I was a kid and feel comfortable with accommodating special care requests.

We were incredibly nervous dropping off our dogs because one has special needs and doesn't do well with other people or dogs (grumpy chihuahua). Tika was a super start with him! She sent us regular messages and pictures to put our minds at ease. They had a great time, and I think that they behave better after spending a few days with her. We felt like we hit the dog-sitter jackpot!

This was my first time ever boarding/dropping my dog off at a sitter and I felt so comfortable dropping my pup off at Tika, especially on short notice! She sent me photos throughout the day and I didn’t worry about my pup for a second! Would absolutely recommend her and use her again in the future!

Tika did an awesome job with our dog and on short notice too. We were so lucky to find her!

There are only a few people that I trust with my babies and fur babies, and Tika is one of them! She has dog sat for me lots of times and I always have full confidence that they’re very well taken care of while I am away. She follows my instructions to a Tee and they get tons of love and spoiling. Your fur babies will be in the best hands with her 🐾🐶

Tika spent many years around my dog before he passed. Bud was always ecstatic to see her and she always engaged with him and he responsed to her, even after she adopted her own dog. Tika and I would walk our dogs together sometimes. There could never a doubt in my mind that my dog or anyone else’s pet could ever have a better caretaker than Tika.

Schedule

I am very flexible with my schedule and am usually available to be with your best friends for most of their waking hours. I have a pet cam available if I need to leave them alone for a little bit.

Safety, trust & environment

I live on a large countryside area a bit off the main road with lots of grassy unfenced area. I keep my home very clean but animals are allowed to snuggle with me on the furniture to make their stay as comfy as possible. I can make many accommodations according to how you like to care for your furry friend!
