Pet care experience

Paws, Scales, and Tails—All Loved

I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—from fish and lizards to cats and dogs. My wife and I are proud cat parents to S’mores (who, despite my best efforts, isn’t too keen on training). I helped train both of my family dogs and still love visiting them at my parents’ house. After a busy year teaching high school, I’m looking forward to a summer with less talking and more time playing with pets. I’m happy to work on basic training or reinforce commands while you’re away—whatever helps keep your pet happy, safe, and loved!

Tamara and Nicholas were great with our cats, and we would highly recommend them! They took care of feedings and maintained the litter box while we were away, and they spent lots of time engaging with the cats and playing with their toys with them (even working to earn the trust of our shy kitty). They were also super helpful when things came up, like the auto feeder going offline and some electrical issues- we appreciated their willingness to drop in and help and all the photos/updates post-visit. Thank you for keeping our cats happy and healthy while we were traveling!

I couldn't and wouldn't replace these two.people. They go above and beyond. One of my two cats is sick and Tamara and Nick just stepped up and cleaned up poop and puke as needed. Otherwise, I would likely have had to board the sick cat at the vet. Tamara and Nick gave me the help I needed which gave me peace and calmness so I could go on my business trip without worrying and being upset. The cats were certainly happy that they weren't separated nor boarded at the vet. Thank you Tamara and Nick--I am sincerely grateful for you.

Tamara and Nicholas were wonderful! I felt very comfortable having them come and spend time with my cat and they clearly took excellent care of her. I’d highly recommend them; they’re a great duo who love on your pets like they’re their own.
