Professional and reliable pet care!
Pet care experience
For the last 25 years I have been the lucky pet parent to several wonderful cats. From kittens to end-of-life seniors, I have experience caretaking cats in varying degrees of age and health. Experience with senior and very elderly babes, hospice/terminally ill sweeties, rambunctious kittens, timid + shy cuties, and everyone in between. Comfortable administering oral medication and the warmest snuggles. Currently offering drop-in visits for cats of all ages, sizes, and degrees of need. In addition to my many years of cat experience, I have several years of experience caring for and training a puppy, having trained my own 2.5-year-old terrier using positive reinforcement training methods. Currently offering dog walking services for dogs 15 pounds or less only.
Reviews
We are so grateful to have found such amazing people to take care of our babies!! We loved the daily updates and pictures, they seemed very comfortable and happy while we were away which is so important for us. We also appreciate the effort of giving our scaredy boy his medicine every night!
Tina is a great pet sitter!!! They are very dependable and I trust them completely to take care of my sweet kitty. They respect and follow my specific instructions, which I really appreciate! Tina has a very caring and loving demeanor towards my cat and I know that they will follow his lead (e.g. if he is feeling shy they will not force interaction). I highly recommend them!
Tina has cared for my cats while I am away on vacations, whether short or long. We had someone else care for them once and we noticed they didn’t spend the time interacting we had hoped. Tina always makes sure the litter box is clean, the food and water is replaced, and that time is spent interacting with my little fluffy children. I can’t imagine having anyone else look after my loved ones.
Tina is an amazing caregiver for my pup and kitty. They are attentive, fun, and trustworthy. I have a high maintenance little dog but T never misses a beat. I don't trust anyone else with my babies. <3

Safety, trust & environment
I respect and care for your home and space as if it were my own. Your pet family will be safe as I enter/exit, ensuring no escapees. I can comfortably crate dogs when needed and I have a deep respect for animal emotions/behavior; I will care for your baby in whatever ways feel best for them as well, never pushing their boundaries nor ever denying them love and affection while you are away. Safety and security are paramount to my comfort levels as well, so you can count on your home being locked and secured after and during each visit.
Information Tina C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any quirky behaviors I should be aware of. For example, it’s good to know if your dog is reactive on walks or if your cat likes to go outside of the box when you’re away (I am personally familiar with both!).
A typical day
In addition to basic cat care (litter box, feeding, water change, cleaning any messes, etc), with cats I will spend time playing with, petting, snuggling, or simply saying hello to and being a human presence depending on the shyness level. In addition to basic dog care (feeding, water change, cleaning any messes/accidents, etc), dogs will get an enriching walk together where there is plenty of space to sniff, explore, and burn off energy. For pups who hate the rain, we can stay in and play games, train, or even just cuddle if that is what they’d like! Both cats and dogs will receive the type of energy that they are seeking during each visit. In other words, each animal’s boundaries and needs will be respected and fully catered to.
