Availability
I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to do cat visits and dog walks throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday dog walk or a drop-in visit to check on your cat, I adjust my day around your pet’s needs.

About Tina B.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
For cat drop-in visits, I always check that your cat has been eating, drinking, and using the litter box normally. I take note of any changes in behavior and share updates with you after each visit. I’ll also make sure they get some playtime or quiet companionship—whatever they’re in the mood for. If you have a pet camera set up, it’s a great way to add extra peace of mind while you’re away. For dog walks, I stick to safe, on-leash routes and avoid unfamiliar dogs unless you’ve let me know your pup is friendly and comfortable with them. I generally don’t do dog parks unless it’s something you specifically request and we’ve talked about it in advance. I treat your home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own.
Information Tina B. would like to know about your pet
After our meet & greet, I’ll share a notes doc so everything—care instructions, routines, and expectations—is super clear and well documented for both of us.
A typical day
For cats, I do a mix of feeding, litter box cleanup, playtime (if they’re into it), and quiet companionship—sometimes just sitting nearby so they don’t feel alone. For dogs, I provide leashed walks tailored to their energy level, with time for sniffing, potty breaks, and a little play. My goal is always to help them feel safe, stimulated, and cared for while you're away.

Pet care experience
Hi there! 👋 I’m a software engineer who works from home, and I’ve been pet sitting on Rover since 2020. After adopting two cats of my own in 2024 🐱🐱, I’ve focused mostly on drop-in visits for both cats and dogs. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine, and I keep a database with instructions for every client to make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and well cared for. You’ll also get plenty of photos and videos during each visit to stay connected while you're away. 💛 If you’d like to leave a tip, I’d be so grateful if you donated to the cat rescue project in China I’m volunteering with instead. No expectations—just gratitude. I’m happy to share more if you're curious, and only if you ask.
Reviews
Tina was extremely professional, and took great care of my boys while I was away on holiday. She responded quickly, and sent many photos and videos during her daily visits. Will gladly book again.
Tina is great. Played with our cats lots while we were out. Lots of pics and videos. Thanks Tina!
Tina was incredibly caring and patient with our cat, taking time to make sure he felt comfortable and loved. She paid close attention to his health and habits and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. She also spent time playing with him, and we could tell he was happy and well looked after.
Tina gave our elder dog extra care while he was not feeling well. It can be stressful to be away from pets while they are ill, so Tina’s effort and communication was such a relief! We truly appreciate her service.
