Information Tina C. would like to know about your pet

Vaccinations up to date. Are they licensed with the city you live in? Is the dog potty trained, if not are they trained on pee pads? I have no preference for any dog, I would prefer to meet the dog first and see how we get along. I need to know if they have separation anxiety issues. Also, I have cats, but don't interact with dogs. They have their own sanctuary upstairs in my home.

A typical day

A typical day in my pet-sitting routine is filled with tail-wagging adventures and purr-worthy pampering. Here’s what I’ll do with the pets I watch: Playtime Galore: Engaging games of fetch, feather chasing, and laser tag to keep those tails twitching. Cuddles and Companionship: Plenty of snuggles, belly rubs, and heart-to-heart chats. Treat Time: Rewarding good behavior with tasty treats – because every pet deserves a little indulgence. Outdoor Exploration: Strolls in the sunshine, sniffing out new scents, and enjoying the great outdoors. Medication Management: If needed, I’ll ensure timely administration of medications. Litter Box TLC: Meticulous cleaning for a fresh and happy kitty kingdom. Your fur babies are in capable paws! ?

Pet care experience

I provide dependable, personalized care that helps pets feel safe and comfortable in their own routine. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior pets, and shy or anxious animals. I focus on patience, attention, and clear communication so pet owners always feel informed and at ease. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication support, feeding schedules, or extra comfort for older pets, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve.

This is the third time Tina has taken care of Bill and we'll continue to use her help. She keeps us informed with pictures and videos on how Bill is doing and she keeps him very busy as well. Bill is always happy to see her and stay with her and that gives us a peace of mind knowing that he is also happy when we are having "adult" vacations. We highly recommend her, she is trustworthy, reliable and very easy to talk to.

Tina is a great sitter. She’s watched our dog twice now and the latter time we wondered if he would want to even return to us after a ten day stay. She sends pictured and sometimes videoed updates at whatever frequency you would like. Our dog is not exactly a dog that gets along well with other dogs, but Tina found a way to let him become buddies with two other dogs she had at the time. We never thought this even possible. She also checked on our cats who we left at home. Usually when we return from a trip the cats let out a very long “meow” meaning: “where have you been?” “We’re glad you’re back” and “don’t leave again.” This time the greeting our cats gave us was minimal, telling us that Tina had obviously taken good care of them socially as well as making sure the automatic feeder was still in order. If you’re thinking about Tina as a possibility rest assured: she’s very good at this. She will always be our first choice when we need a dog/cat sitter.

Tina made my dog and us feel comfortable immediately. This was our first time leaving our dog with a petsitter and obviously we were anxious about it. But since the moment she greeted us we felt safe and we knew our dog was in good hands. She kept us informed with messages and pictures during his stay. My dog looked very happy and comfortable with her. You can tell immediately that she knows what she is doing. We're definitely going to use her services again. We are so glad we found her, we highly recommend her.
