Highlights
Pet care experience
💗WFH Pro: Loving pets as family💗
Hi! I work from home full-time in the tech industry and offer calm, reliable in-home care for pets who feel happiest staying in their own familiar environment. Growing up with dogs and caring for 11 cats over the years — including rescuing a pregnant stray and raising her kittens — caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I’m also passionate about local rescue efforts and excited to begin volunteering with ❤️ Seattle Humane to learn from and give back to shelter animals. 🐾 Consistent Companionship Because I work from home, I’m present most of the day. Your pet gets a calm, steady routine, plenty of affection, and genuine companionship — not just quick check-ins. 🧠 Emotion-Aware, Personality-Focused Care I adapt to each pet’s emotional needs, comfort level, and energy. Whether it’s a senior dog who prefers slower walks, a puppy who needs structure, or a shy cat who needs quiet patience, I meet them where they are and move at their pace. 💊 Medication & Special Needs I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medication, and maintaining consistent feeding, walking, and 🛋️ sleep routines. 📸 Thoughtful Daily Updates You’ll receive regular photos, videos, and check-ins so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. 🏡 Respectful Home Care I treat your home with the same care and discretion as I treat your pet. I’m attentive to basic home details — such as smart alarms, packages, and trash schedules — so your home stays secure and well-maintained.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
🛡 Safety-Focused Approach Your pet’s safety and your home’s security are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to leash safety, door awareness, and the surrounding environment, while maintaining each pet’s normal indoor routine to keep them comfortable and at ease. 🦴🧶For the best experience, I currently accept pets who are fully house-trained. For safety and consistency, I care for indoor cats only. For homes without a physical fence or with invisible fences, dogs are always leashed and closely supervised outdoors.
Ratings and reviews
Tina is an amazing dogsitter! We always have her watch our fur babies when we are away. She is so sweet and kind to them and takes pictures and keeps us in the loop with how they are doing. Anyone would be lucky to have her watch their pets!
Tina has watched our two cats a handful of times now and always is extremely prompt with her responses for booking and shows up on time. She is a great communicator and the cats seem to love her based on the pictures she sends. Would highly recommend!
Tina is the best! She took wonderful care of our two dogs and two cats over Memorial Day weekend. We had a last-minute cancellation, and she came for a meet-and-greet the same day we reached out and quickly confirmed the booking, which was such a relief. She was very mindful of all of our house rules and clearly cared about our pets. Both our dogs and cats loved her, and it was obvious they were happy and comfortable in her care. She also went above and beyond by helping with little things around the house, including taking out our garbage bins. We received regular updates and came home to happy pets and a well-kept house. We would absolutely book with Tina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
This was the second week I've booked Tina and she's gone above and beyond expectations. She is someone that truly cares about animals and my pups are beyond excited when they see her.
Tina is great! Highly recommend 😊
It was an absolute pleasure using Tina to watch our senior Havanesse, Leo for three days. We have only had a select number of people watch Leo in the past. We were anxious leaving him, however Tina immediately eased those feelings. Tina's professionalism, and wonderful demeaner combined with her love of animals makes Tina one of the best dog /house sitter's out there! We had frequent updates about Leo throughout the day and we could not have asked for a more reliable, kind dog sitter.

Schedule
💻 Availability & Schedule I always begin with a meet and greet so we can make sure we’re a good fit, learn about your pet’s needs and personality, and give them a chance to feel comfortable with me. I’m selective about the clients I take on because the well-being and safety of your pets are my top priorities. I work best with pet parents who value mutual respect, clear communication, and a clean, comfortable home environment. 🏡🐶🐱 House Sitting: My remote role allows me to stay home most of the day, offering a calm, steady routine, attentive care, and meaningful companionship. 🦮🐈 Drop-ins & Walks: Generally available after 10 AM on weekdays, with some flexibility on weekends. I schedule visits carefully so each pet receives reliable, unrushed care.
