About: I'm 23 years old and currently work full-time at the Humane Society of Missouri, where I care for animals of all sizes and temperaments every day. I have hands-on experience with everything from puppies to seniors, and I'm comfortable handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — including reactive or high-energy pups. I’m also a proud dog mom to two wonderful German Shepherds, so I truly understand how much your dog means to you. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or boarding, I provide the same love and care to your pets as I do to my own. Trustworthy, reliable, and passionate about animals, I’m here to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for — whether you’re at work or away on vacation. I work Monday-Friday 10-4, but am able to come home for lunch to let the dogs out! I am available early morning and afternoon for anything! I live in a very large apartment with so much room to walk around and play! I have many green space around my apartment for walks, along with a fenced in dog park attached to my apartment!

My frenchie goes most places either me including to work, stores, tennis club and even Freddy’s! Dogs are family and I will treat yours like mine! I’m available to board pets from Friday afternoon through Sunday nights or early pick up on Monday am. I provide Daycare on Tuesdays. I can often be flexible with individual needs. I have a very nice one story home in beautiful, safe neighborhood. My Frenchie welcomes your pet so he has a playmate or resting buddy. We take walks at least twice daily. House is open floor plan for plenty space to play. We spend time on my large enclosed patio to toss the ball and plenty sitting and relaxing areas. I will always be on patio with pets. They will never be left out without me as my own practice with my Frenchie. Free feeding and water all day unless you requests different. When I leave house the pets will be gated in room separated unless you request your pet crated. My frenchie will also be in separate room. Your pet will love it here with me and Beau!

About: I am a work from home RN which allows me to be present with your babies and give them all the snuggles, treats, walks and play time they could want. My husband and I both have had dogs all of our lives and feel completely comfortable around all types of breeds. We have two dogs of our own and they are so incredibly loved and cared for. We will give you the peace of mind while you are away that your babies are cared for as you would. Since I am home all day, there's very little time your pup will be left alone. I can provide frequent potty breaks, play time and walks. ​We live on a peaceful 1.3-acre property and are one of only three houses on a long, quiet dead-end street with virtually no traffic. We have a massive backyard surrounded by nature with endless room for pups to run and play! ​A quick note on safety: While our large yard is unfenced, your dog's safety is our absolute top priority. If your pup is a wanderer or loves to roam, we are fully prepared to take extra measures—such as using long training lines, continuous supervision, or structured outdoor play—to ensure they get plenty of freedom and exercise without compromising their safety. ​As the proud owner of two dogs myself, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your furry family members. I treat every guest like my own and promise to keep your babies safe, happy, and loved in your absence!

My entire schedule is strictly structured around high performance exercise, advanced handling, and pack management. Whether training or boarding, dogs are fully integrated into my disciplined daily lifestyle from morning until night. When your dog steps into my care, they are entering a structured environment built for engagement, confidence, and high-energy fun! Rain, snow, or heat—weather is never an issue. I utilize controlled indoor exercise equipment, including a dedicated dog treadmill, to maintain physical conditioning year round. ​Safety and trust are my highest priorities. To build real-world focus and reliable obedience, I introduce structured outings to local, dog-friendly spots and high-distraction environments to keep their mental skills sharp as a tack. Whether working on precision focus, brain games, or physical fitness, your dog gets an ideal mix of clear discipline, high-reward fun, and deep relaxation. I respect your home, enforce your precise house rules, and deliver daily updates so you always have complete peace of mind!

Tammy and her husband are fantastic. They have a great set up for the dogs and they obviously care about the dogs they watch. This was my second time having them watch Bayer and he was so comfortable going over there that it really took all the worrying out of boarding him. Tammy responds quickly and communicates well and that really offers peace of mind during the whole process.

Tammy watched our English mastiff over the weekend and it seems to have went really well. He came back exhausted from getting to play with some of the other dogs. We have taken him to overnight kennels before and he comes back home and just seems sad like he was locked in a cage all weekend. Tammy allowed him to be out and get to enjoy playing and being around other dogs. We will definitely be contacting her again when we need him to be watched again. Thank you Tammy.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
