About Tina L.

Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
_METHODOLOGY_ I apply holistic principles to my "pet minding". My perspective is that pets are people too, and each pet is different, so they will need tailor made playtimes and walks to suit them. The priorities lie in stimulation and channeling destructive or overenergetic behaviors into healthy situations and environments. At this time I am not offering boarding services. As a sitter, I usually apply the 'pack it in, pack it out' methodology: I am a temporary influence in the pet's life and home, so I bring my own food, toiletries, etc and usually keep the home to the state I found it in. I document my visit for accuracy and write notes on pet behavior, funny moments, etc. I am a big cuddler and couch loaf, and at the same time I can go for a 30min to 1hour walk, if that is what your pet needs. I tailor my services to what the client and pet need. My priority is to keep both happy and relaxed, by keeping the latter exhausted and satisfied. (Spoiled!) I like taking advantage of a client's environment, whatever pet toys there are, and do my best to keep them calm and tired out at the same time. Either walks, or catching thrown toys, grooming, or visits to the local park. I try to make myself as available as possible, within reason to everyone including myself. I do not board animals in my home at this time due to the small space and lack of yard, and having three personal animals, which would not be an ideal for for many.
Information Tina L. would like to know about your pet
Energy level (high or low), whether they have any triggers (physical or emotional), and what diet they are on. Allergies are important, and if the pet requires commands/firm handling. If the dog has bitten a human before, and I am not told that, I may suspend services. I have worked with aggressive dogs, so I can handle it, but I need to be told everything about the dog, like a doctor or lawyer, so I can prepare as best as I can. I need to know: Where the leash/harness/carrier are for emergencies or going out Emergency vet information Regular veterinary information Potential allergies, injuries, hair triggers for any aggression
A typical day
Frisbee, wand toy, ball, tug of war rope, crinkle ball... I have played and roughhoused with both pitbulls and tiny terriers, so no discomfort there! Whether it is a small dog or a big dog, I try my best to figure out how to play with them. Any tips are loved and appreciated, and expanded upon. I usually try to do different routes to keep the walks interesting to my regular walk clients.

Pet care experience
Promo code TINAL73198 for 20$ off your first booking on Rover! I am available for sitjobs, walks, and drop ins. Outside of service radius: 20$ surcharge per day/booking I have been on Rover as a professional petcaretaker since 2019, and before that, as a pet daycare worker (at a major national pet store brand that rhymes with "netfart"). And before that, just had my own pets and enthusiastic about every pet I meet. I love caring for animals: dogs, cats, birds (caged domestic exotics), goats, chickens, ducks, horses, rabbits, fish, even plants. I have my own pet family as well. I know how precious your little one is to you. I hope to work with you to bring the best vibes possible. I am experienced in: *sub q fluids *diabetes medication *pill syringes and treats *notate subtle/significant stool changes when needed A pet's wellbeing is paramount for me, and I usually note any behavioral issues and interactions. I also recommend potential solutions to enrich an animal's environment, in response to their "energy" and my impressions of their behavior. That is part of my holistic strategy.

Reviews
I would trust Tina to watch my fur babies any time! She was very accommodating of my last minute booking and made me feel at ease about the process. She asked detailed questions about by cat’s needs, provided plenty of photos and updates, and was very respectful of my home. Thanks Tina!!
Tina was awesome checking in on our cat! Our cat loved the visits and he was well taken care of. Tina also helped us with a last minute additional request to set up another meal for our cat and everything went great. I'd definitely hire Tina again!
Tina was great with my cat! Had an excellent meet and greet, took a ton of photos for me while I was away and uploaded these to the rover messaging system, helped clean up after my pet, and just genuinely seemed to enjoy animals. I felt safe knowing I had someone that cared looking out for my pet. 10/10 would book again.
Fantastic! Follows our puppies routine and schedule and spends the time to teach him new commands and tricks.
