Vaccinated, accommodating, WFH stay

Pet care experience

Hi! My husband and I work from home at IBM. We adopted a senior GSD April 2020 and she was the sweetest granny anyone would meet. Sheeba crossed the rainbow bridge March 2021. We got Yeti in October 2022 and he is the most playful puppy, we’d love to have a play date/sleepover with your’s! The most important thing about watching your pet is to treat them as if they were our own. We’re very active and always looking to get those steps in so your pet will be spoiled and sprinting with me. Or, if your pup prefers to be a couch potato, we’re all for it too! I am very open and accommodating so please don’t feel afraid to ask a bunch of questions so I can tend to you and your fur baby’s needs :) -I will also take a bunch of photos of your pet whenever you need to see their sweet face and what they’re up to! -For puppies who are not house trained, I would prefer to only board them on the weekends so I can make sure I can take him/her out every 2-3 hours to avoid accidents. Puppies must always come with a crate (helps with potty training and keeping them safe) -On occasion there will be overlap between two families dogs, so I can only accept dog friendly dogs (especially since my dog, Yeti loves to play!) I am working from home for the foreseeable future so I am able to take them out for potty breaks very frequently. I usually wake up around 6am and go to bed around 9/10pm and can adjust to your pets preference! My home is always clean and well kept to keep pets safe from choking/healthy. They are allowed on furniture and I adjust to the dog’s preference and learn their habits and schedules before drop off to ensure a comfortable stay. Since I work from home, frequent potty breaks are necessary.

Zuker had SO much fun with Tina & her dog, Yeti! I was almost afraid he wouldn’t want to leave and come home with me!

Tina was great! I had to leave my dog with her for a few days and she cared for him like he was her own. She always sent updates and photos throughout the day. Bandit loved having Yeti as a playmate, as well! I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for a sitter!

Tina was absolutely amazing with Maki! This was my first time leaving my pup with someone for a whole week and I felt comfortable the entire time. Tina sent plenty of picture/video updates of my dog and her dog, Yeti, playing around and having a blast. Easily the best sitter experience I could have hoped for. Thank you Tina!

Tina is excellent! Great communication, great diligence, very conscientious. I felt like my two older puppies were in the very best of hands! She is very responsive, has plenty of room and a nice backyard, and made sure all my care instructions, feedings, and notes were followed to the letter. They got regular walks and outings, plenty of attention, and the best of care. I got regular pictures, videos, and updates. I even thought my little one would not want to come home with me!! Tina is a great Mommy to her doggies. No hesitation in offering my 5-star recommendations. I have no doubt you and your puppies will have the same great experience we did!

Information Tina Z. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any breed preferences. I have open arms for both purebreds and rescues/mutts, they all need love. I have experience with caring for pets from 2 months - 16 years old. I would like to know if who/what they get along with. I would like to know their dietary needs, schedule, and habits. Please bring over their favorite chew toy! :) 1. Are they up to date on shots? 2. Have they had their flea and tick and heart worm medicine this month? 3. What is their preferred activity schedule like?

A typical day

I live in a great walkable neighborhood and would love to take your pup on walks here. For low energy/senior dogs, we’ll play and rest at home :)
