About Me:
I am originally from Ireland but have moved to the Netherlands with my Dutch partner. While my native language is English, I speak only a little bit of Dutch, maar, ik ben leren!
I have been a dog minder offering dog sitting services, home dog boarding, home visits and dog walking in the UK since October 2017 and have successfully built strong relationships with lots of pooches and their loving owners - all of whom I miss every single day. Although, I see this as a new and exciting opportunity to extend my long list of paw friends.
I am commonly known as the 'wet blanket' for animals amongst friends and family; a title I'm ironically proud to have! As a loving and experienced pet owner myself, I would expect a pet sitter to be 'in-tune' with how my pet would be adapting to the environment that she has been introduced to and as such, be able to tailor the service for both my peace of mind and her comfort - an attitude and expectation I would take on board with every pet entrusted in my care.
I appreciate the trust and responsibility you would be giving me in caring for your pet and would love the opportunity to provide both you and them with the care, affection and attention they'd get in your own home; after all, they are our family!
Why I want to be a pet sitter:
Ultimately, I would like to offer pet owners like myself who view our furry babies like the family members they are, a peace of mind when they need to leave their pets behind for trips, work or other similar commitments. I worry and stress when leaving Angel behind for so much as a day trip so I know how important constant updates are and how even a video call can make a difference by putting a pet owner's mind at ease.
Services:
I am a very active and able person myself and love long or short walks every day - especially trips to the beach or parks so you can rest assured that your pupper or pet can be tired out by the end of their visit.
Please note: I can only keep a maximum of three dogs at any one time to ensure your pets are getting all the attention and care possible. I also offer to pick-up/drop-off your pet if either within walking distance or if I can arrange transport.
Also, most importantly, I am only available for pet services from 01 September 2018 onwards in order to complete the registration process for my partner and I.
If you have any questions or queries feel free to pop me a message; I look forward to hearing from you!
Paws out -
Jack loves Tanya so much, we call her Auntie Tanya!
Tanya looked after my 3 year old retriever Alfie so well! I don’t think he wanted to come home at the end of his weekend with her! He got loads of exercise and plenty of cuddles and treats. Tanya kept me updated throughout his visit with photos and videos so I knew he was enjoying himself! I would recommend Tanya to anyone!
