Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet care in the Tri Cities
I have been a dog trainer for the past 26 years and I have had pets all my life. I know how important it is to find someone reliable to take care of your pet while you are at work, or away. I have had my fare share of dog walkers cancelling at the last minute so I know the frustration with finding a reliable and responsible person. I am now 50 years old and will be there for your dog or cat, as agreed and as needed. I recently lost my big Rhodesian Ridgeback. We hiked every day for his ten year life. He was a well trained (by me) but spoiled boy who slept in my bed and was allowed on the sofa. I would treat yours based on your own rules but they would be loved and completely cared for. I find myself not wanting another dog of my own just yet but wanting to take care of others while I have the time. * Doggy day care max 8 hrs * House sit/boarding 24 hours * Dog walking one hour * Home visits 20-30 minutes

Ratings and reviews
Couldn’t have been more fortunate to find Tina available on short notice. Wonderful lady with years of dog experience. Tina bonded with our dog Molly right away. We were able to enjoy our time away worry free knowing Molly was in great hands Highly recommend Tina!
Tina is absolutely amazing with dogs! Dogs are her love and passion. Her knowledge, training and experience that she shared with me in training my puppy was incredible - for ever grateful!
It was obvious from the start that our dog was in good hands with Tina. She has a natural way with dogs and it’s obvious she genuinely loves them. You can tell she really understands dog behaviour and knows how to work with them. She’s confident, patient, and clearly has a lot of experience training and handling dogs, which made us feel completely comfortable leaving our pup with her. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and had been well looked after. I would definitely leave him with Tina again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.
Fellow pet parents - Tina is a superb choice! She may be new to Rover, but she is not new to dogs! She is a responsible adult who will prioritize your pet the entire time she is with them. She is super responsible and never cancels. My dog loves her!... And I can't be more thankful for her help. 5+ stars.

Schedule
My schedule is open but new dogs I will book solo so we get to know each other first. I can do day or evening walks, any day of the week. Boarding would consist of walking your dog everyday, max 2 dogs at a time.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a very large home in Westwood Plateau. I have a fenced yard that we can hang out in after our walks, which would usually be in the forest where they can be on or off leash once we get to know each other.
A typical day
It depends on your dog’s individual needs and personality! I can do big forest hikes or walks in the neighborhood for senior dogs or smaller dogs. We can play ball, or run around a park, whatever your dog enjoys!
