All Dogs are Good
Pet care experience
I've had dogs and other animals all my life - and cannot imagine a life without them. I grew up doing dog 4-H and raising Guide Dogs. As an adult I've been blessed with opportunities to lead my own dog 4-H group & volunteer for animal rescue rescues. Quite simply I've never met an animal I didn't adore, appreciate & care for. I believe it's vital for pets to have ample opportunity for socialization, love, mental & physical stimulation - as appropriate for their individual needs, personality & disposition. I enjoy, and have earned a reputation for working with "challenging" dogs, and I foster (for rescue groups) whenever I can. I really enjoy & appreciate helping challenging pets, whether that be due to behavioral issues or pets in need of special care for medical issues &/or physical impairment. Not that I love the sweet, easy-peasy fur-babies any less :) I am enthusiastically willing to provide care for any type of animal, and (where dogs are concerned) I have a big soft spot for breeds that are discriminated against (i.e.: Staffordshire Terrier, Rottweiller, etc.).
Reviews
Best ever. The ONLY reference I ever have to clients. Amazing love for animals and trustworthy. As a dog trainer, I dont like referring pet sitters because I have been burned before for referring ones that turned out to be bad BUT I will refer Tina all of the time (and have many times)!
Tina did a wonderful job watching Archie. She did the drop-by on the appointed time. She also contacted me as she was leaving to report how it went. I'll definitely contact her again when needed.
Tina is one of the few people I trust with my animals. She is patient, compassionate, and truly cares about all animals. She loves them all unconditionally. She is very knowledgeable about animal care and behavior with many years of training and raising them. Any animal under her care would be treated with respect and kindness at all time and she would go above and beyond with whatever they need.
Loving, Trustworthy, Down to Earth... Tina Edwards is simply the best as a person and even more as someone whom you could sincerely trust leaving your dog with. Tina provides that piece of mind that our dog's are in the best hands possible. None of us like to leave our pets with another person, especially overnight. But sometimes the need is out of our control. The very last thing we need is to worry about whether they are receiving genuine care and attention, and if they are happy. Like you, our dogs are an extension of our family, and there is no other person my wife and I would hope they could spend that separation with. Tina has a real compassion for dogs and they too can feel it.
