Animals were my first love
Pet care experience
Hi. I'm Tina. I am a mother of 2 little humans, 2 dogs, and 2 rats. Before children, animals and pets were my first love. After having children and pets I realize how stressful and expensive it can be to find someone to watch and care for your pets when needed. I am hoping to alleviate some of that to others by offering my pet care services. I have been involved with pet care for over 20 years starting with my volunteer experience at an animal shelter for 10 years. In that time I cared for all ages, sizes, and types of dogs. I also helped with caring for cats. Also in the past 20 years I have watched and cared for the pets of my friends and family. I worked for a dog daycare for 2 years, too. As for pet ownership, I had parakeets, an anole, fish, and a turtle growing up. As an adult I have owned dogs for at least 15 years. For the past 11 years we have been a 2 dog household. I also have experience with guinea pigs. Lastly, we survived parts of the pandemic by enjoying time with our sweet pet rats. My goal is to tailor my care for your pet to be just how he/she is cared for by you. I am comfortable with all animals. I can administer medication. I can love your dog while you are away.
Reviews
Tuna takes great care of our pack. They love it when she comes and they get a break from the monotonous day of dog naps they have to endure.
Tina is one of the most kind and patient people I know. She's incredibly patient with her own dogs, which have had a variety of temperments over the years. She has volunteered her time in the past to help with animals waiting for adoption. She always gives our dogs big hugs when she sees them.
Not only does Tina shows tremendous care, passion, and love to each animal, she is an extremely responsible, mature, and trustworthy caregiver. She has watched our animals in the past and I would 100% feel comfortable with her watching our pets again!
Tina did a great job caring for my very shy dog.

I want pet care to be the last concern/worry you have when considering you vacations/day trips/ work obligations etc. I desire to know how your pet is cared for (including all the 'quirks') so I can mimic that care. I will love your pet as my own and welcome all the pet hair that will attach to my clothes.
Information Tina F. would like to know about your pet
It is very important to know if there are any special or unique needs your pet might have. I will ensure we discuss these needs prior to me caring for your pet.
A typical day
My care will be tailored to the needs and desires of your pet. Walks, snuggles, hanging out, playing with toys, nose work etc. I am up for anything.
