She was dependable And sent great pictures and updates. I will definitely use her again when we go back to Taos.”

“We needed a sitter for the evening while visiting Taos. We left our Daffodil with Bonnie and her Poppy and they played hard and rested well. Bonnie’s place was pet safe and she has a large fenced yard for them to play. She was flexible with our plans and fair with her price. I would definitely take Daffodil there again.”

“Tania managed a very unusual request: we had her pick up our dogs from our Venue and take them back to our hotel and feed them. We messed up giving her the key and it turned a bit chaotic and she handled it excellently. Can’t thank her enough for making sure everything still got done. She’s dependable and flexible and would recommend for any pet needs!”

About: I work on my laptop or phone, and can travel with it, and thus would be mostly at home with your animals. I lost my own dog in recent years, and find that I do best when I have dogs and cats to look after. I love being interrupted by a dog asking for attention and play! Walking is a joy for me. Cat cuddles are medicine. I specialize in tuning in to what anxieties need clear support and confidence to help build successful interactions. I'm all about loving and deflecting behavior towards what works. I welcome caring for animals with special dietary or medication issues. To have the company of a senior dog or a puppy is something I really look forward to. I'm editing this profile to add: I so appreciate the humans I am meeting through Rover! Pet owners that choose to hire a person to be with their animals are doing something really considerate and intentional. Thank you for loving and respecting your pets. I am enjoying meeting you all and caring for your lovelies. I organize my working rhythms around pet care. I enjoy having my work broken up with odd tasks and interruptions from animals. In general, providing pet care generally makes me more productive in other areas of my life. I like having a set walking and feeding schedule, and then everything flows from there. My work is portable on my laptop, so as long as I can have a perch to work at, I can be present for animals in the spaces they are accustomed to having company in. I do house visits, walking, and home stays. I enjoy staying overnight with animals because we can tune into each other. I try to get a sense of how the animal parent interacts with and supports their animal through daily routine, and then try to replicate that routine. I pay close attention to what they animals are saying about what they need, and what brings about their contentment.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life including Great Danes, cats, bunnies, gerbils, fish and have been dog and cat sitting professionally for 5 years. Recently I lived and worked on a thousand-acre farm caring for cows, horses and goats, doing everything from feeding, cleaning and even bottle feeding. Bottom line is I love pets, and would love to meet your four-legged family members!! I currently work from my computer so I am very mobile and happy to be flexible with scheduling, etc. I love spending time with all animals so I make it a priority to fit this kind of work in. *If you have multiple pets and my site is quoting a large number for your sitting request, please know I am happy to look closer and find a good price for all! If I am giving care at your home my number one priority is your animal’s safety. That’s best implemented by focusing on your (the owner’s) rules and daily routines. Once I establish that, I focus on creating a special bond with your pet—it’s like they’re getting a new friend. If I’m boarding at my house my number one priority is to create a new and special routine that reflects their home routine but with new special elements. I have a very large yard and a safe neighborhood to take pets on walks, and as long as they are happy sharing space with a cat we have a really good time!
