Pet care experience

Owner away? We’ll sit and stay!

I’ve worked at the Brooklyn zoo and aquarium in Brooklyn as a teen. Then worked my way to volunteering at my local animal shelter. I’ve always had a love for animals. Now I foster dogs and cats till they find their forever homes. Even family and friends ask me to watch their pets on occasion. I’ve done dog walking and boarding for many years now as well and I would love to continue to provide for animals rain or shine.

She took good care of my dog and was very helpful and understanding. Made sure he was comfortable and would keep me updated and informed at all times with plenty pictures. Definitely would recommend her and would return.

Tamara has been a great help in the care of my dog Milo. He’s always excited to see her and she always takes great care of him when he’s in her care. Our family really appreciates all she does for Milo

One of the most reliable and accommodating person I know. Took amazing care of my dog when I went out of town last minute and was very helpful when needed. Would be sending my dog anytime I need a responsible pet caregiver!!

I highly recommend Tamara as a pet sitter and walker for your beloved dog, Luna. She has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure my dog's well-being and happiness while I was away on vacation. Tamara's deep understanding of my dog's needs, including his sensitive stomach, gave me peace of mind. Her energy and enthusiasm in engaging my energetic dog with various activities were remarkable. Most importantly, her genuine love and compassion for animals created a special bond between her and my dog. Tamara is a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter and walker who treats your pet as if they were her own.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a gated yard around my apartment. There grass and all the other animals in the building run around and use the property. I provide at least three walks/potty breaks a day, take time to train and reward. I’ve giving medication and baths on request as well.

A typical day

Usually I’d either go to the dog park that’s 10-15 mins from me so they could run around and get energy out. Or beach day on leash. Or bike ride/run since I’m trying to get more active anyway. Or simple just relax and watch tv. It all depends on the dog.

I would like to know as much as possible about the dogs behavior and temperament ESP around strangers. Need to know if they have allergies or reactive to other dogs. Anything the owner can think of.
