A+ Pet Caretaking, experienced
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.

Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Tina was wonderful with our cat, Taco, over our lengthy vacation. They made sure he had adequate playtime & socializing - along with tending to our cat’s various robots. At our meet & greet, Tina took detailed notes & photos to make sure Taco got everything he needed while we were gone. That greatly reassured me. Pet sitting at our place was challenging - the community was handling repairs at the same time, but Tina handled the chaos well. They went above & beyond to run to the pet store after their visit & return to apply some medication. Thanks Tina!
Tina is the best! Definitely provided excellent care for our boys and sent us lots of details and pictures. Would absolutely recommend and will book again!!
Thank you Tina for taking care of my cat and be patient for all my request!!!
Tina house sit our dog Malta for the weekend. She was amazing as always and took great care of her. Look forward to booking her again
We will continue to book with Tina whenever we need someone to check in on our 2 boys. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and healthy, and is so easy to communicate with.
Tina was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was excellent from the beginning, and she took very detailed notes about each of our dogs and their individual needs. Our dogs loved her instantly, which made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She is attentive, caring, responsible, and clearly loves animals. I would highly recommend Tina to any dog owner! ❤️🐾

Schedule
My schedule is fairly fluid. Please inquire to see if the fit is a match. Depending on location and when the desired appointment time, I can be available.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsTina can host up to 15 drop-ins per day
- 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
