Loving, Caring, and Loyal Pet Lover

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Tamara and I'm a recent medical graduate. I love dogs, and am never able to resist going up and petting dogs when I see them out and about! I had a little dog when I was growing up and he's back home with my parents. I've watched friends pets over the past few years, everything from Boston terriers to tiny t-cup poodles! I don't mind administrating medications and injections and love taking dogs on walks/runs! I would love to get to know you and your fur babies soon!

Definitely disappointed. We explained quite clearly where the dogs in the alley were that should be avoided. Somehow she and our dog ended up right by one of the said fences and got her face bit. When she reported the issue to us, I questioned how she was over there in the first place. She first blamed the ice, then got really snippy with me and suggested she had a lawsuit on her hands about our dog tugging her on the ice. If she was not strong enough to handle a 55-pound dog, then she should not have considered taking the job. Also, the idea that she was going to threaten us for her "possible" shoulder injury when our dog's face had teeth marks and was bleeding was both insulting and infuriating. This happened several years ago and I am finally calm enough to write this review.

Unfortunately I didn't like the service. I needed to ask her about my cat and if she came everyday. She took just 3 pictures and didn't say enough about the visit. I was expecting more.

This was our first time using a pet/house sitter and we couldn't have been luckier than to have found Tamara on Rover. Tamara took care of our rambunctious 8 month old goldendoodle & 2 cats. After our first meeting & seeing how she interacted with our pup you could tell she is an animal lover and we were very confident leaving our fur babies in her care. She kept us updated with texts & photos when we were away, & when our sneaky pup got hold of his eyedrops she handled it like a pro getting straight onto the vet (who told her everything was ok). I would not hesitate to recommend Tamara & I hope she will be able to come stay with my babies again sometime!
