Pet care experience

I am a teacher, life long pet owner and mother of two children ages 13 & 15. My passion for pets shows in the TLC I provide. I can care for your dog, cat, and exotic animals 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:).

Our dog loves spending time with Tina (as evidenced by his tail wagging at the door greetings and performance for treats), and we always have full confidence that he is in excellent hands!! Tina is extremely communicative and happy to go the extra mile to ensure you know what’s going on with your pet, and they are happy and well cared for.

Great service. Punctual, communicated with me consistently, paid 100 percent attention to my super young puppy and followed directions exactly as I gave them. 5 plus stars.

Tina is so good I almost want to say something bad just so others don't realize how terrific she is and take up all of her available Rover time. She is first and foremost rock-solid reliable. We love our dogs, and honestly, a cranky Rover who always showed on time and did exactly as expected would be good enough. But Tina is absolutely delightful. She is honest, energetic, punctual, sends a ton of texts and videos, and treats our pups with love and affection. Most recently, our plans changed unexpectedly and we reached out to Tina at 11:30 pm the night before we were leaving. Six hours later, at 6:30 am, Tina responded and accepted the assignment. We were relieved, and delighted our dogs would be reunited with their newest friend. So, all this is a long way to say "Tina is the best," and you're lucky if you can book her services.

Safety, trust & environment

During the last 40 years, I have owned kittens that became cats, puppies that became adult dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, fish, and hermit crabs - I understand the requirements needed to care for various pets. Growing up I always had a family pet. In my young adulthood I owned 2 dogs for 13 years, and currently own a rescue cat with my family - I know the care I desired for my pets when I/we were traveling or away from home, and will provide the same high standards for you while you are away. References available upon request.

Routine is incredibly important for pets and I will follow through with the owner's directions and schedules. Currently, I am a substitute school teacher for preschoolers through highschool - having schedules, routine, exercise, bathroom breaks, safety, care, fun, meals/water/snacks are all important. These are my duties of my job with children/students and I will provide the same responsibilities and care with your pet(s).
