Routine is incredibly important for pets and I will follow through with the owner's directions and schedules. I have been a substitute school teacher for preschoolers through highschool, while currently am in elementary school - having schedules, routine, exercise, bathroom breaks, safety, care, fun, meals/water/snacks are all important.

Pet care experience

I am a teacher, life long pet owner and mother of two children ages 14 & 17. My passion for pets shows in the TLC I provide. I can care for your dog(s) and cat(s) while you are away from home. Currently, I own a rescue cat, and have owned dogs from puppyhood to senior years - providing treatment and care including medications that varied with their age or health. I always perform the best care for all pets entrusted to me. I will take the time for us all to get to know each other and feel comfortable. Feel at peace knowing your pet(s) will be in a loving environment when you confirm a booking with me:).

Tina did an excellent job taking care of our cat, Leo who is normally very shy but warmed up to her immediately!

Tina is great with our new puppy. Always on time and very flexible if needed. I’m glad we found someone to help out.

Tina always goes above and beyond to make sure my cats are well taken care of when I'm away. She sends multiple pictures to me during her visits which makes me feel so much better about leaving them.

Tina has been phenomenal in taking care of our dog Maisie. She is so communicative and thorough and I felt like I had nothing to worry about in terms of Mae being looked after. She sent multiple pictures of Maisie and how she was doing throughout each drop in visit. I highly recommend Tina and we will be booking with her again in the future! Thank you so much, Tina. I know this was a last minute booking but you were so accommodating and understanding. We truly appreciate it!
