About Tamara A.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will provide your pet with the highest level of care, ensuring they are safe, well-cared-for, and loved at all times. I am committed to following your instructions precisely, maintaining their routine and meeting their needs without deviation. With that said, unless I am explicitly instructed to not provide a type of physical activity (walking, playing, tug o war etc) due to medical conditions, I will prioritize regular walks as I strongly believe mental stimulation is a key to your dogs happiness’ health and longevity.
Information Tamara A. would like to know about your pet
If your dog is territorial or reactive, it’s important to share that information ahead of time. Let me know if they benefit from anti-anxiety medications, calming treats, or collars, or if they prefer specific high-value treats. It’s also helpful to understand any behaviors they exhibit when stressed or acting out, as well as any food allergies they may have. Essentially, anything that someone unfamiliar with your dog should know to provide the best care is greatly appreciated!
A typical day
A typical day would vary depending on your dog’s personality, breed, and age. To share an example, with my own dog, I ensure plenty of mental and physical stimulation. We go on multiple daily walks, allowing her to sniff and explore, which helps engage her mind. At home, we enjoy puzzle games and enrichment activities. I also prepare frozen Kongs filled with yogurt, blueberries, and pumpkin, and on high-energy days, I serve her meals in interactive feeders to keep her engaged and happy. If your dog prefers a more relaxed schedule, I’ll happily accommodate. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel as if you never left.

Reliable and Experienced Sitter
Pet care experience
As a lifelong pet owner, I have cared for both dogs and cats, gaining valuable experience along the way. Currently, I have a rescue dog who requires specialized training and attention due to her anxiety and reactivity. Caring for her has taught me patience and equipped me with skills to work effectively with high-anxiety dogs. Before her, I had the joy of raising an easygoing pup who lived a long and happy life. These experiences have given me insight into the full spectrum of pet parenting. My background enables me to provide your pet with the utmost care and attention, ensuring their safety, happiness, and comfort while you’re away. I’m committed to creating a stress-free and nurturing environment for your beloved companion.
Reviews
Tamara was amazing with my often difficult pups. She was competent, caring, and kept me informed of everything going on with my dogs. She really went above and beyond for us and I am so appreciative. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone!
Tamara did a great job checking in on our kitties and making sure our diabetic cat got her insulin after she ate. It was such a relief to leave and know they were taken care of!
Tamara is excellent! Very easy going, diligent, and considerate. She did so well with my awkward little boy and he warmed up to her overnight (which is fast for him)! Highly recommend her for anyone who has an anxious fur baby like me.
