About: I have had dogs for over 20 years, and have also sat for other dogs in my neighborhood. Lots of dog toys, dog beds for them to play with and sleep in. Lots of sofas and chairs. Plenty of house space to run around. I get up and take care of my 3 cats and my dog and parents dogs everyday early. I have 3 days off from main job. Each day, including my work days, I still have plenty of time to spend with the animals. Afternoon walks, and 2 evening walks. Pets are always on my daily routine, with plenty of time to spend playing with them as well. I have a fenced in yard, I have 3 dogs that get a long with others upon meeting. I have a big house, lots of gates if for whatever reasons they may need to be gated off. Plenty of dog beds for them to sleep on . :) We have gates on our deck, so there is no chance of a dog running off.

Tanya did a great job taking our boxer Nala on daily afternoon walks. She was great at communicating any changes in her schedule with me, flexible to meet my needs to care for Nala, and always polite and professional. Thank you so much for you help Tanya! It was comforting knowing that Nala was in good hands while we were away.

Karin does such a good job with my animals. My dog loses his puppy mind whenever she shows up, and it’s so obvious how much she loves animals and adores our dog. She has watched our cats as well and given them medicine, and they like her too 🙂 10/10 would recommend Karin!!
