Teenager with a dog

Meet Your Sitter

Hi, I'm [Your Name]! I'm a lifelong animal lover and a student at California High School. I started Tender Tailz to provide a caring and fun alternative to traditional kennels for my neighbors here in San Ramon. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. My goal is to make sure your dog has as much fun on their vacation as you do on yours!
