Reliable, loving, WEDDING DOG CARE
Pet care experience
$20 off first booking if new to Rover! TINAP41329 I've been dog sitting since 2017 and had the wonderful opportunity to watch other dogs grow up as they lose their teeth, get neutered, teach them new tricks, and watch them socialize with my dog. I find so much joy in dog sitting and would love the opportunity to spend time with your little one as well! I've wanted a dog since ever since I overcame my fear them as a child hahah I've had the pleasure of caring for my sisters dogs prior to adopting my own little guy, Keoni. I've taken them on walks, given them baths (whether they enjoyed it or not), fed them, and help to train them in tricks. I also love playing catch or tug of war with dogs, but I'm also ready to relax and cuddle with dogs anytime of the day! Now, I have my own dog who's still acts like a puppy so my entire apartment is puppy proof (except the plants which I can easily move if your fur baby is interested in them lol). We typically go on 2 walks/run a day with plenty of potty breaks in between. He loves to spend time with other dogs and is very playful. I strive to create a comfortable and safe home for him as well as any guest fur babies! Additionally, I am reliable. I graduated with 2 college degrees while still having a job and being on the board of multiple organizations. Now I just have a job so not only can I be flexible, but also I've continued to always be reliable and committed to the tasks I take on. Currently I have a flexible work schedule and can work from home if you need daycare services. WEDDING DOG CARE: Your dog is part of your family and I would love to be the one to care for your dog while you are enjoying time getting married and celebrating with your family! I am happy to watch your furbaby at home or care for your little one at your venue so you don't have to spend a second apart from them on your special day! I'd be happy to talk through the details based on your specific needs! I'm 100% confident that I can provide the best care for your dog! Please let me know if you have any questions!
Reviews
Tina put my mind at absolute ease as she cared for my 4 month old pup during work travel. Last minute, my care plans fell through and Tina immediately replied and set up a Zoom to ask me questions and discuss how she could best care for my pup. Tina sent me pictures and videos throughout the day and it was evident that she was caring for my pup as if it was her own. I absolutely recommend Tina for any dog care needs❤️❤️❤️
Tina was an incredible pet sitter. She met with me virtually before hand and took a lot of notes. I got updates throughout and he was passed out in the car on the way home from all of his play and walks. Had an incredible experience ?
Wonderful sitter, great communication, highly recommend!
We left our 6mo puppy with Tina for 4 nights. It was our first time leaving him so we were worried, but Tina was absolutely amazing and accommodating. We met prior to the drop off date, and talked for a a long time. Tina hand fed Bruno when he wouldn’t eat, and was very gracious about his night crying! Very understanding and communicative with us, sending messages and pictures daily. Thank you Tina !!

Safety, trust & environment
Pets are allowed in all rooms in my apartment, but I do keep doors closed so they stay within my line of sight at all times. If I have to leave the apartment to go to the grocery store or stop by the office, I will always separate all dogs (unless your dog has special needs like separation anxiety and needs to be with my dog). For playful fur friends, I will put out a yoga mat for my dog and your dog to play comfortably on. If the weather permits, we will go on a walk in the morning and another walk around 3 PM with plenty of potty breaks in between. Recently, I've also enjoyed just sitting at a nearby park so I usually bring my running leash so I can attach Keoni and your baby to myself while we all people/bird watch at the park. I always feed dogs in separate rooms even if there is no history of guarding. I have a ton of plants in my apartment so please let me know if that will be a concern.

Information Tina P. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to be aware of what the dog prefers or does not prefer to create a comfortable environment for the dog. I also like to know what activities they love to do and tricks they practice regularly so I can keep those up. I do not have a breed preference. I'd just like to know what makes your dog comfortable and what makes them uncomfortable so I can best provide a loving environment for them! I'd also like to know about how your dog interacts with other dogs so I can watch for triggers and monitor behavior. Something to note for fur moms and dads is that I won't ever take your dog to a dog park (except the dog run when there are no other dogs); it's too unpredictable and I prefer to be more cautious!
A typical day
We just moved to a new apartment but it's close to the river and there's a park right cross the street so I plan to go there a lot. I do take my dog running but I know that's not for every dog so I plan 2 walks daily regardless.

Availability
Currently I have a flexible work schedule and can work from home if you need daycare services and overnight stays. I also plan my grocery trips and errands around stays so your little one isn't left at home alone. I also wake up relatively early so it's not a problem adapting to your pup's potty schedule!
