Paws At Home

We have be having Tina watch our pugs for at least 5 years. She has come to our home, and we have taken them to her place. Above all is the sense of trust we have with her expertise, and concern for our dogs’ well being. We have one older dog, and he needs medication, and extra care. Tina has been so good to him. I would recommend her service to anyone.

Tina has demonstrated a very professional approach in taking care of our dog (Lucy) whether on a weekly basis or during our vacations. Her new location provides ample room for the dogs to socialize and I feel comfortable that Lucy is receiving the attention she needs. I can say that Lucy is thoroughly tired from a day of fun with the other dogs at Oaws At Home. I definitely would recommend Paws At Home to anyone

We have been using Tina @ Paws at Home since moving to SD in 2004. She has watched our cats, dogs, fish and guinea pig! She loves them all and they love her.
She visits our home and with our latest doggie we board him with her when we go away. He’s happy and well adjusted when we get home and has fun playing with the other pets. Socialized boarding is great! and Tina still comes to the house to take care of our kitties.
Tina has also gone out of her way multiple times while caring for our animals; we’ve received phone calls about an eColi outbreak in the water supply while we were on vacation as an example. Tina also went against the evacuation issued for our neighborhood for the wildfires. She got our animals safely out of our house and brought them to her house. She later met with a friend of ours who could take our 2 cats and dog to their own house until we could come back into town.
Overall, I can’t rate Tina high enough or recommend her enough. She is excellent, personable and I wouldn’t dream of leaving our crew to anyone else!

In response to Tina’s comments:
I did not have an issue with the fact that you would continue to visit if I did not call when I was expected to return. This is standard procedure for any petsitting company. The part I had a problem with is that you stated that you would REMOVE my pets to a location UNKNOWN if I didn’t call for 3 days after my expected return. Again, it does not make sense that I would pay you to come into my house, where my pets are safe and at home, and take them away if for some reason I was unable to call you. There is a difference! Yes, I would want you to continue to take care of them, and I would pay for you to continue to take care of them. It was the threat of REMOVAL that I had a problem with!!!
And readers, take note — Tina doesn’t share my concern that someone I don’t know entered my property and my key was not secured!!! It was NOT in her contract that there could be a substitute. She was dishonest about her availability and SOMEONE I DID NOT INTERVIEW WENT INTO MY HOUSE!!! And she is very nonchalant about not keeping my key secure. Kinda secure? NOT OK. «It would be hard to figure out where my key belonged»??? ALSO NOT OK!!! Other petsitters are very serious about the security of my home and pets, which I trusted to Tina in my absence.
All in all, this is a very unprofessional service, and my review of one star stands. In fact, based on the owner’s comments, I would give Zero Stars if possible.

Tina took such good care of my babies while I was out of town for a wedding. It was so much better for them to have a free run than be caged at a kennel. You can tell how much Tina loves animals and is the perfect person to leave your pets with. I didn’t worry at all but certainly would have if I left them in any other environment. Thanks so much Tina!!!

Tina and her 4 legged crew are awesome! I have no problem leaving my beloved pets with her, they are in good hands!

As a pet sitter I don’t leave my dogs just anywhere. I will only leave them with Tina. When they come home they are soooooooo tuckered out from playing with the other small dogs. Tina always sends me videos and pics of my dogs while I am traveling and it makes me smile to know they are safe and having fun! Also she always follows my written feeding instructions to a T and they never come home with stomach issues like they did when I left them with a different sitter. Spoil your little doggie and leave them with Tina.

Tina is our long-​time pet sitter. She used to come into our home and walk the dogs/​feed them, et al, when we were away. Now our dogs stay with her in her home when we go out of town. She is wonderful and does a great job with our pets. She clearly loves our dogs (in fact, I always like to think that they are her favorites). And they do very well at her house. She sends me photos and texts to let me know how they are doing, which is nice. I definitely recommend her!

Tina is very reliable and has come to my rescue when I had a death in the family. With no notice she came and picked my dogs up and took very good care of them.
When I was working 80 hour weeks she came by three times a week to walk the dogs. She is very professional and I use her every time I go out of town.

I use Tina every time I have to leave my chocolate lab behind if I go on a trip. She gives him lots of love and attention like he’s one of her own, and I never worry about him in her care. Tina is also very communicative; she always sends updates and is very accessible if I need to contact her. She’s very local to Poway, 4S Ranch, Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, and Rancho Penasquitos, but if you live anywhere in the San Diego area, I highly recommend her as the safest and most fun place to leave your pet if you have to go away. Thank you Tina!

I used Tina and her services back in November for a week and will be needing her again in the very near future. She is close to 4S Ranch and is great with the dogs and also makes sure they get some good TLC when you are not around. She either calls or sends you a text message update when the service is complete. Give her a ring if you are a good caring parent to your pooch and want to make sure they are not stuck at home unable to pee or poop.
