Highlights
Pet care experience
Positive reinforcement is my fave!
I am very active with my dog and we often go hiking, visit dog parks, or just take sniffy walks around the neighborhood. We have taken a lot of positive reinforcement training classes together which range from manners, canifitness challenges, canicross, cooperative care (husbandry), to simply learning how to play with each other. I have also completed the Karen Pryor Academy dog trainer comprehensive class. I have experience with reactive dogs. I help my dog with big feelings everyday and use multiple positive reinforcement tools and pattern games so we can still enjoy our walks. I have experience administering many different types of medication and taking care of animals with chronic health conditions. I also have experience with special/limited diets. I have experience caring for multiple special needs animals at the same time, although currently I only have one dog. I have had dogs my entire life and other types of animals for most of that time as well. As a kid I helped my parents take care of our family dog Denny and then got my first dog at 12. I also had hamsters, a gerbil, and rabbits. As an adult I have kept cats as well as dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
I will listen to your care instructions and ask any questions that may come up, both while we are setting up a job and throughout the time that I am with your animals. I will try and keep to your dog or cats routine as much as possible. I also always send pictures and updates so you will know how your pet is doing.
Ratings and reviews
Exceptional care!
Everyone in our house sure is thankful for Tina! That goes for humans and critters alike. As longtime weekly drop in clients, we greatly appreciate Tina's reliability and clear communication.
We love Tina and our dog Stevie loves her even more! We use her often for check-ins and walks. She goes above and beyond with communication and photos. Appreciate having her in our life to love on our dog.
Tina was very communicative and thorough with her questions ahead of the visit to ensure she had everything needed day of without any uncertainties. She also met our dogs twice ahead of the visit for everyone's mutual benefit and comfort. Tina provided detailed notes of our dogs outings, feeding, and activities, along with photos of their time. I know our animals had a great visit with Tina and would recommend her to any perspective sitting needs.
Tina was great with my two dogs. The pics she took make it clear they loved the time they spent with her.
Tina does an amazing job with our girl, Stevie. She’s thorough, fun, and so knowledgeable with dog care. We always know Stevie is taken care of and happy when she is with Tina. And Tina does a little training when she checks in on Stevie which is so great!
