The dog days aren't over.
Pet care experience
My name is Tamara. I work in research for the University. I grew up with pets and have always managed to have or foster animals throughout the years. Currently, I have a English pointer/cattle dog mix named Riot who is a ball of energy. Riot and I use positive reinforcement training. In addition, Riot and I do quite a bit of walking around our part of town. Riot is on a feeding schedule and does receive several treats throughout the day. To ensure no issues arise, dogs on feeding schedules are ideal for us. Lastly, I have experience with epileptic animals and administering medication. I would be comfortable in caring for a more difficult pet while you are away! Please message me directly if you have additional questions.
Reviews
We have used Tamara many times and this last visit was Alta's longest stay with her (1 week). She is fabulous and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter. Her dog, Riot, is also adorable. Know your dog is in safe, caring hands with Tamara. She is flexible and communicative, which is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tamara!!!!!
She was wonderful! Sent pictures and videos and check absolutely loved it. Somehow he is completely over his fear of other dogs and has become obsessed with the outdoors! She was so far above our expectations! Will definitely be using again!
Tamara is a great sitter! Extremely patient and flexible to work with. She sent great updates and pictures that made me feel comfortable being away from my dog for 4 days. He was worn out from playing with his new friends and didn't want to leave. Will definitely use again in the future!
Update Review: Tamara continues to be awesome sitting the dog, and on our last two trips she also did house visits to check on the kitties. She does a great job with them, giving them attention and us proof of life. :) Highly recommend.

Please let us know if your dog has special needs that we should be aware of/ or need to accommodate. We have experience with neurological dogs and are comfortable caring for neurological pups.

Pups with me will enjoy attention, cuddles, plenty of walks, and the occasional trip to the dog park or neighborhood puppy play date. I have taken pups hiking with permission of parents.

I am a full time remote employee. We walk AM, lunch and PM. Your pups will hardly ever be alone. My husband is also a remote employee. With 2700 square feet of space, 5 dog beds and a guest bedroom the dogs have claimed, it's a pretty cushy space.
