Pet care experience

Welcome to our FUN VACATION HOME! WE PLAY AND CUDDLE ALL DAY! Two locations! You can choose whichever: Glendale (mom dad sister who work from home ) and Sunland (where I live with my husband and one baby girl. I come and go between the two locations) *Please note, We do not take dogs that tend to *mark* because my dog la will start marking as well :( I will ask about your dog's routine so that we keep it like home :) * I have a Boston Terrier at the Sunland location who is wonderful with dogs, people and little kids. He used to be one of my client's pets but she was not able to care for him so He became a part of our family. :) Please learn about my baby in the 'pets' section of my profile or check out Spot's Instagram to learn about him and see his interactions with his friends :) @puppyparadisewithspot *we also have a two year old corgi mixed dog that we found in the park and became part of our family at the Glendale location. He is trained and such a cutie! You can read about both our pets on @puppyparadisewithspot My name is Tamar. I love to play and cuddle with dogs !! How Does Booking With Rover Works? you simply contact me and I send you a list of questions that you can copy and  paste into your message box and fill in the answers. These questions are about your baby's personality, routine, meals and much more :) We can set up a optional meeting afterwards too if you would like :) How Much Time I Will Be Spending With Your Pooch? Simply put, all the time! I am home all day and my husband is home during the afternoon so we will be spending a lot of time together. Your pooch will get love, care, attention as they do at home, if not even more! :) I do what I love. I do not have any kids so I will be engaging with your baby all the time. Your pooch will be with other doggie friends and together we walk, play and cuddle all day. How Often Can I Take Your Dog For a Walk? I can take your pooch out every two hours :) - or more If your dog cannot hold for more than 2 hours. I will be asking you this question so please be honest. I can take your dog out every half an hour as well as long as I know this is required. This can help your dog and I avoid pee pee accidents and be comfortable :) after all, I want your dog to be happy and healthy. About My Home? Safety and Cleanliness: We moved to Sunland two years ago from La Canada. Our condo community has mini dog parks connected together via long hallways full of green trees and bushes. Perfect for snigging and exercise. The pool is gated :) The neighborhood is safe and beautiful to walk and get some fresh air. SO MUCH GRASS TO SNIFF :) I clean my home often and vacuum my home everyday since my dog sheds a lot. I make sure their is nothing on the floor that they can chew or eat :) All wires are put away (my husband has obsession about this) , and trash is not reachable (inside a sliding cabinet). Doggie-proof home ! with a gated metal door outside my front door, and another doggie door inside to keep dogs away from my front door. 3 doors in total -counting the wooden door) that are locked. My balcony is also secured with high walls-no spaces in the fence. My Boarding and Sitting Style? Your pooch is allowed to walk, run around, play and be themselves. I want them to be safe and happy at all times :) I do not have crates and will not put them in one ;) only if it is a part of their routine. please provide the crate :) Your pooch will be treated just like home so don't forget to send me your dog's usual routine. :) Routine: Your pooch will keep her daily routine that she has at home so her daily schedule is not thrown off when she goes back home. For example, walk, sleep and meal time :) Exercise: I like to walk and run so if your pooch likes walking or running, we can be best buddies! If a short walk is required only, we can do that too ;) I have toys at home so my husband and I will be playing with your pooch as much as they want to :) Spot plays with toys if toys are introduced and will play with dogs (run around with your dog/ jump around) If a dog invites him too. Otherwise, he respects personal space and would sit or walk after me :) Sitting and Sleeping Arrangement: your pooch is allowed on my bed and furniture :) If you have any furniture rules you would like us to follow, please let us know. If your pooch is used to sleeping in their own crate or bed, you can provide the crate or bed. I have an extra bed just in case :) Please let me know which room your pet sleeps in. Do you put her bed near your bed? DOGGIE BATHS I provide free baths. Your pooch will defiantly get one if they are staying for 4 days and more so that they are clean and ready to jump on your bed and play with you when they are back home :) I use a very gentle dog shampoo that keeps the skin and hair moisturized. If you do not want me to give your baby a shower, please let me know :) I also keep the water out of the ears and clean them after. If you have a towel, please provide one, otherwise I would use an extra one that I have. Drop Off and Pick up time: There are no additional charges with early or late pickups or dropoffs. Please let me know in advance time of drop off or pick up so that I do not step out. Communication: I’ll be updating you throughout the day. If you have specific times for communication let me know :) Doggy friends: (as of 8.30.22) - I am taking one dog at a time. Your pooch might be with other dogs during his stay. I keep my doggy friends separated during meal time. If your doggy friend is used to being free fed, I can designate an area for his food :) If your dog does not do well with other doggies please book with another sitter. Spot, my dog, is trained to eat from his plate only. Hygiene: Aside from giving showers, I make sure your dog's paws and sensitive areas are clean if they get dirty after our walks. I simply wet a piece of paper towel and use it. Meal Preparation: please let me know how much and how frequently you would like me to feed your pooch and if their is any special meal preparations like adding boiled unseasoned chicken to the food. Please provide the chicken and I am happy to cook it for long stays :) I like giving some veggies fruits to Spot and his friends, please let me know if your dog likes any and I am happy to provide. Treats: I love my doggies so I will be giving them treats every now and then. If you would like me not to give them any because of allergies, please let me know. Please provide your doggies favorite treats if they have allergies :) Please provide: -clean dog with no fleas or skin conditions. -dog food and treats. Having something positively associated with home will be helpful for your dog to adjust. -leash. (I have one extra just in case) -bowl.(I have one extra please ask if available) -bed. (I have one extra please ask if available) -potty bag? I have ;) What I provide: -Wipes, napkins for potty time. -exercise -play time all day long !! -walks -bath -meal preparation if special preparation is needed -medical administration if your dog has meds to take (orally or applied on body) -full time LOVE, CARE, ATTENTION, and more LOVE :D Thank you for reading!

I have never seen more joy in a dogs face in my life. He had a ball. Tamar went above and beyond followed his complicated feeding instructions and let me know anything that was going on with him. I’m happy Fendi found a new friend in Spot and I’ll definitely be bringing him back.

Goldie always has the best time with Tamar, Armen, spot, and any other doggy pals that are lucky enough to be there! She sends constant updates so I always know what they’re up to. She plays with them to their hearts content and takes them for walks. They get love and attention nonstop. Can’t recommend her enough!
