Tanya

I am an experienced, caring, and reliable dog sitter and dog walker.

I have had dogs and taken care of other people’s dogs my whole life, including taking my own dogs through obedience and agility training.

I am a volunteer dog walker for the SPCA and a passionate advocate for our four-legged family members.

I provide top quality dog care and frequent updates so you can rest easy knowing your pup is in good hands.

I fall in love with every dog I meet and will care for your dog like they are my own!

I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including rescues, anxious/fearful, and reactive/fearful-aggressive.

I am well versed in positive reinforcement training and am always reading up and learning more about how best to work with our canine pals.

I have studied canine body language and am able to interpret subtle, non-verbal cues about how your dog is feeling; this helps me ensure your pup feels happy, safe & confident through our whole time spent together!

With me, your dog will not only get the exercise and companionship they need to stay happy and healthy, but you can be assured I am using the best, most current methods for positive handling. I will never use force or coercion to get your dog to do anything. Your pup may even come back to you with better leash & social manners!

I am adaptable to dogs of all energy levels and needs.

As an active person, I am able to keep up with your high-energy pup (I used to live with a border collie!), while also enjoying a casual stroll with your senior or more mellow companion.

If your dog does well off-leash and with other dogs, I’m happy to take them to a nearby dog park.

I work part-time (a few hours each morning) teaching voice to actors at the post-secondary level.

Since I don't currently have a dog of my own (I married a cat person!!) I decided to put my skill set to good use helping others out with their pooches!

I truly love this work and look forward to every opportunity I have to spend time with your adorable fur-babies.

I provide private dog walks, drop-in visits (while you are at work or out of town), and overnight dog-sitting in your home.

I am also able to provide care for cats or other pets, and am happy to do things like check your mail or water the plants while you are away as well.

I provide daily “pupdates” with photos showing you how relaxed and happy your pup is (not to mention adorable!), so you can be too!

I also offer:

Longer dog walks or drop-in visits (up to 1 hr): $40

Half day dog-sitting in your home (up to 4 hours): $50

Full day dog-sitting in your home (up to 8 hours): $100
