Pet care experience
I APOLOGIZE, BUT I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. PAST CLIENTS ARE WELCOME TO REQUEST A SERVICE. Looking to get away for the weekend, need to travel for business, or even complete a home project like painting? Don't take your furry child(ren) to be boarded at a kennel or vet where they will probably spend most of the time in confinement. Bring them to my house! I have been around animals my whole life, and consider them a part of the family. I currently have 3 dogs of my own. MJ (german shepherd/red healer/lab mix), Morgan (boston terrier), and Tucker (min-pin) are 5 years, 13 years, and 11 years, all vetted and fixed. My home is a dog-only environment, so if your dog doesn't like cats, it's perfect! I have a teenage son who enjoys dogs as well. He has a caged parakeet in his room where the dogs are not allowed. We have a fenced-in yard, plus a separate dog run for their 'private' time. We enjoy taking walks and exercising them in the yard fully attended. I am able to administer medicine in pill and liquid form, but no shots please. Your furry child(ren) will be well taken care of with lots of love so you don't have to worry while you're away or completing that nagging project. Thank you for considering me in this important decision. About this sitter: I LOVE DOGS! I enjoy being able to help people. My occupation is a school bus driver. I have 2 sons; one is an adult and the other is a teenager. My home has plenty of room for dogs to play (my 3 love playing from room to room!), as well as a fenced-in yard, and a separate dog run. I grew up with animals including: dogs, cats, and a rabbit. It breaks my heart to see/hear of animal abuse or cruelty. If I could single-handedly save them all, I would in a heartbeat! Why I love dog sitting I've always been a dog lover! I have grown up with dogs, and it was always mine and my sister's responsibilities to care for them. As an adult, I have 3 dogs of my own. About my yard I have a securely fenced-in backyard with a separate dog run for their private time that is cleaned daily. My experience administering medication Pill, liquid, or lotion form. No shots please.
Reviews
My dogs are my babies and I was skeptical on letting someone who I didn’t know check on them during the week for my fiancé and I while we are at work. But let me tell you.....Tina is amazing! She is a huge help and I couldn’t have asked for a better pup-sitter. My dogs love her and we love her for giving us the piece of mind that we no longer have to leave are dogs home alone for hours. :)
Tina provided excellent care of my dog and kept me updated!
Tina was awesome with our fur babies, they had a great time she sent updates and pictures and her fur babies were comfortable with ours. We will be booking another stay in the future it's SO NICE to know Tina cared for our fur babies like her own and they were in an environment that was super dog friendly and cared for which made our vacation more enjoyable for us to know that they were in excellent hands
My dog was happy staying with Tina and her family. I'm so glad I don't have to kennel my fur baby when I travel.

Information Tina N. would like to know about your pet
My favorite breed of dogs are boxers! I am comfortable with bully breeds as well. I had fostered a full-bred male pit bull for 9 months in 2014, and another one in 2017 for a week. We were able to find him a forever home very quickly!!! I was brought up around large dogs, mostly St. Bernard mixes. I would like to know of any special needs or quirky habits, or any possible anxieties, e.g. thunder, nearby fireworks, things like that.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I will walk them around my neighborhood that is very dog friendly. And, I always clean up after them:) Your dog's sleeping arrangement My dogs sleep with me in my bedroom. I do have crates if your dog is more comfortable there, however they are welcome in the bedroom as well. Time I'll spend with your dog We will go on at least 1 walk 20-30 minutes. We will spend as much time is needed in the backyard, at least twice each day, to expend energy and have lots of fun! I do not 'free-feed'. My dogs have approximately 1 hour to eat twice a day with treats in between meals. Fresh water is always available.
