Nurturing Teacher for Normandy Park
Pet care experience
I am a teacher, and I bring that loving and positive attitude to animals as well. I have always owned pets and I will treat your animals as if they are my own. I have done short- and long-term dog sitting jobs and have walked many dogs of all ages and personalities. I am highly organized and resourceful. I will follow your preferences for walks, treats, and schedules. I am able to use the commands you have already taught and reinforce your training. I enjoy walking and will gladly go out in any weather without hesitation to make sure your animals receive the exercise and stimulation they need.
Reviews
Tina was so lovely with our pups! She sent us daily updates, played with them many times each day and took such great care of our home while we were gone. We’re so thankful our fluff babies had her to look after them!
Tina is exceptional! The best pet and house sitter I have ever experienced. I was comfortable with her immediately and was pleased that she took notes on the meet and greet. The house was immaculate and my dog was happy. She sent regular updates and pictures and overall took great care of my dog and home. We can't wait to have her back!
Tina went above and beyond to care for our pets and make them (and us) feel comfortable. She has a lot of experience sitting all different personalities of pets, and she was able to get our anxious pup to warm up to her quickly. She has a clear intuition about dog behavior and body language. She took detailed notes about pet care, asks great questions, and provides frequent pictures and communication about how the pets are doing. She problem solved when our naughty kitten made mischief. We will definitely book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone!
We arranged for Tina to stay at our home for 17 days and watch our two dogs, who have various quirks and needs. Tina was so reliable, reassuring, responsible, and diligent throughout the whole process! We could not have imagined a better person to trust our dogs with. Tina took notes, asked good questions, and went above and beyond sending us daily updates twice a day and making sure the dogs are comfortable and happy and making sure everything was alright at the house overall. She is a wonderful person and amazing dog caretaker. Our travels had lots of unexpected things that came up, but I felt so reassured throughout the whole process that at least on the dog front, Tina had us covered.
About Tina L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am highly ethical and responsible. I understand having a stranger in your home or taking your pet out is a difficult decision and yet a loving and good decision for the comfort of your animal(s). I am tidy and reliable. I am a homeowner as well so I will look after your home with the highest respect, knowledge, and care. I will always have the needs of your pets as my first priority and will keep detailed notes and communication. I am experienced and resourceful should any problems arise. I will lovingly care for your “fur kids” as the unique living creatures that they are and meet their individual needs.
Information Tina L. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to keep your dog on their regular routine and training expectations for consistency and their comfort level. Please let me know their favorite walks, leash commands, any challenges or needs they have so I can do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and safe.
A typical day
I look forward to long walks with your dog(s) with plenty of opportunities for them to sniff the neighborhood smells (so important for their stimulation). Potty breaks, leash practice, praise, and safety will be my utmost priority as they get fresh air and much-needed exercise in a fun environment. I will play with them as well and look forward to games of fetch, frisbee, tug-o-war and any other favorite activities your animals enjoy.

I am an elementary school teacher so I am looking for dog walking on weekends as well as pet sitting jobs to help pet owners who need to travel. My goal is to follow your schedule preferences and animal routines to minimize the stress on your animals while you are gone. You can enjoy your time away knowing your house and pets are in excellent care by someone extremely trustworthy and responsible.
