Caring for pets like my own 😺💛🐶
🐾 Experienced Cat Sitter & Small Dog Care 👋 Hi! I’m Tamara—an experienced and reliable cat sitter in Calgary, specializing in in-home cat care and small dogs. I previously worked as a full-time cat sitter, ran my own in-home cat care business, and have volunteered with the Meow Foundation for over two years. I’m especially experienced with shy, anxious, energetic, and senior cats who need extra patience. 🐶 Small Dog Care Available Too! While cats are my specialty, I also happily care for small dogs and offer: 🐾 Dog walking 📍 I live very close to the Rosedale Off Leash Dog Area, making it easy to provide safe, fun walks and enriching outdoor time for dogs who enjoy being active. What you can expect from me: 💌 Reliable, loving, and attentive pet care 📷 Regular photos and text updates 🧹 Clean, calm, and pet-friendly home 🐾 Respect for your pet’s routine and personality 🌸 Extra patience for shy or nervous pets 💛 Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. As a pet parent myself, I know leaving your furry friend behind can be stressful, so I focus on keeping them loved and comfortable while building trust through gentle care and clear communication - giving you peace of mind. 🚍 Depending on the location, an extra fee may apply.

🐱 I provide care in your cat’s own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I respect their space and routine, ensuring minimal stress and a calm, familiar environment. 🐶 I offer care either in your home. Also, I live just steps from the Rosedale Off Leash Dog Area, allowing for safe, supervised outdoor exercise.
Ratings and reviews
Tamara was incredible with our two cats. She went above and beyond, bringing her own cat toys to play with our pets. She provided lots of pictures from her drop in and had great attention to detail with our requests!
Second time using Tamara and I couldn’t recommend highly enough. He spent 4 nights and 5 days at her place while I was away for work and I felt so at ease. She sends updates a few times a day, SO many photos and is such a good communicator and carer for my Murphy. 10/10. So happy that I found her :)
Absolutely over the moon with Tamara. She took the best care of my little Murphy. She sent me sooo many photos and kept me up to date the entire time. It was my first time leaving Murphy and I felt so calm and confident the whole time. Would highly recommend. So happy I found her :)
Tamara was absolutely fantastic as a cat sitter and one of my favourite sitters I’ve ever used. Would highly recommend her
I’ve had the chance to see firsthand how wonderfully Tamara cares for cats, and I can honestly say she goes above and beyond every single time. She has such a calm, playful, and loving way with animals that even the shyest cats seem to feel safe and comfortable with her almost immediately. One of the cats I’ve seen her look after, Reginaldo, absolutely adores her. It’s clear from the way he seeks her out for affection and how content he looks in her care that she has a special gift with animals. And it’s not just Reginaldo. I’ve watched her provide the same level of attention, gentleness, and genuine love to every cat she’s looked after. She always finds a way to add a little something extra, whether it’s more playtime, cuddles, or creative ways to keep them engaged, to make sure each cat feels truly happy and cared for. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets as if they were her own, I can’t recommend Tamara enough. She’s attentive, trustworthy, and has a natural connection with animals that you don’t come across often. Any cat in Tamara's care is truly in the best hands!
I follow Tamara's career as a cat sitter in Curitiba (Brazil), and I'm maybe the best person to tell that she is really great with animals, I never saw so much passion about animals before, especially with cats. If she could, I'm sure she will have like 700 cats at home (haha). She has a great touch even with the unsociable animals, making them feel comfortable and loved. She always sends a lot of good pictures and videos of the stuff she does, like a clean sandbox, food and all the kind of play around with the pets. I'll never trust anyone better to take care of my pet-babies.
