About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up with 2 dogs, a Labrador and Weenie-Mix, so I have experience with dogs of varying sizes. I have cared for rabbits and small birds, and have spent a lot of time around cats! I would love to take your pet for a walk and play, or drop-in for a check-in! My availability may look somewhat limiting, but I am typically available Monday through Thursday after 4:15; Friday after 3:15; and most of the day on the weekends. Your pet's happiness and well-being is of the upmost importance to me. I thank you for trusting me in your home and with the responsibility of caring for you pet.
About: I am reliable to help care for your pet. I have done pet sitting and walking for clients for 5 years. I personally have a miniature poodle and a pug ♥️ I am able to take care of your pet any day of the week. I just need to know at least 3 days ahead of time before you need me. I provide care for pets in clients homes as well as take dogs on walks. I am able to check on your pet while you are at work. I can also stay at your home if needed on weekends.
About: I’ve watched family and friends dogs for years. I enjoy being the “go-to” person to watch their pets . Love caring for and playing with dogs, talking them on walks, and playing! I have some flexibility in my schedule during the weekdays . However, I can always do afternoons walks and care and availability full time on weekends. For longer I usually watch folks dogs in their home - if that’s the preference. If your puppy needs to be just walked and fed for just the day that’s also grand!
About: Hi loving pet parents! My name is Brooke. I may be new to Rover, but I’m no stranger to pet care and I’m ready to become besties with your pup! I have cared for pets since I was 12-years-old, and I love all dogs, no matter the size, shape, or personality. I've grown up and cared for several breeds - from boxers, to cockapoos, to labs, to frenchies - and I am comfortable taking an energetic pup on a run, or I can be a couch-potato with a dog that loves to cuddle. It's my utmost goal to make your dog feel comfortable, loved, and relaxed while you're away! I work a hybrid-remote job with a flexible schedule. The longest I will be out of the house is 5 hours per day, and I am able to build my schedule around your dogs' needs! I am able to accommodate any routine your pup has, and I will give them all the love they need while you are away. I can easily crate them if needed, or stick to any feeding, exercise, and/or medication schedules you have in place.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and truly love getting to know each one’s unique personality. From playful pups to mellow seniors, I adapt to their energy and needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m dependable, calm, and pay close attention to routines — whether that’s daily walks, feeding schedules, or medication. I treat every dog like family, and I always aim to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Because I work in cybersecurity, much of my schedule is remote and flexible, allowing me to be highly available and attentive to pets throughout the day. Whether it’s early mornings, late evenings, or quick check-ins between work tasks, I can easily adapt my time to meet the unique needs of each pet. This flexibility ensures consistent care, playtime, and companionship, making sure your furry friends never feel alone or neglected. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my home, I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and play freely without any hazards. I ensure all spaces are free from harmful substances, and pets have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and plenty of stimulation. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I strictly follow their routines and instructions to provide consistency and minimize stress for the pet. I respect their space and property, maintaining open communication with the owner to build trust. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment that supports the pet’s well-being and reassures owners that their beloved companions are in good hands.
“Tiya did an amazing job walking my new pup! She kept me updated with photos and videos everyday and could tell my pup was having a great time. Will definitely be booking her again. Thank you again Tiya!”

She prioritizes time spent with them, asks about and meets (or exceeds!) what makes them comfortable, and is responsive and receptive to pet parents in terms of meeting your preferences and needs when it comes to communication and your pup's care. She's a dog lover who prioritizes a good experience for your dog. I give her my highest recommendation!”
