Pet care experience

Caring & Reliable Pet Sitter

I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I regularly pet-sit my teacher’s two Maltese dogs, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. I’ve also helped care for a Great Pyrenees, which gave me experience handling large breeds that need confidence, patience, and attentive care. In addition, I’ve spent time around and built great relationships with my neighbors’ dogs, including a Corgi, an Australian Shepherd, and a Border Collie, which has helped me become comfortable with both playful companion breeds and highly active working dogs. Caring for my own rescue cats, Lily and Sky, has also taught me the importance of routine, gentle handling, and paying close attention to animal behavior. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and the same level of care I would want for my own.

Tamara was so great with Paloma, very communicative and accommodating with changes we needed to make. We’d definitely recommend her in the future!

My dog stayed for an evening and a day- Tamara was so prepared in managing my dog! I received regular updates and he came back just as excited and healthy as when we arrived! Huge thank you! :)

Tamara was great with blue! I felt super comfortable with blue under her care. She was very communicative and sent many pictures throughout his stay. I would definitely want Tamara to watch blue again

Tamara was great with communication and pictures! The other dogs seemed to love hanging out with Luna after she got comfortable.

I’m flexible and able to provide attentive care throughout the day, especially during weekends and most weekdays. Since I’m local to Burke and nearby areas, I can reliably maintain your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and companionship. I’ll make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions. I’m patient and attentive with animals of different temperaments, and I always prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment. I also have experience caring for my two rescue cats, Lily and Sky, which has taught me the importance of gentle care, consistency, and paying attention to subtle behavioral changes.
