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 wonderful and worked with my sweet pup who’s had anxiety and made him so comfortable and happy in her home! We got all the updates and sweet photos and she was so wonderful daily with communication! Sam is excited to go back and hang out!! ☺️

Tamara was very accommodating to a last-minute request to extend our time due to a home inspection. We are so thankful we found her and she takes great care of our dogs.

1st time using this service and was extremely happy with the care Tamara provided. She was accommodating to a last minute booking and her communication was quick, responsive and thorough. I received multiple updates, pictures and videos. My puppy had a blast playing with her dogs and came home happy and exhausted.

House Sitting • Jul 26, 2026

This was my first time having someone from Rover do a house stay, and I'm so glad that Tamara did it! She took great care of Hailey and kept me up to date on everything going on. Tamara took great pictures as well. I'd ask her to sit Hailey again.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 19, 2026

I highly reccomend Tamara. We were first time vistors to the area, and she was very accommodating when our plans changed last minute, was helpful answering our questions about the area, and was understanding when traveling back from D.C. took longer then we anticipated. Most importantly, my nervous dog settled in very quickly and was very comfortable staying with her, and I picked him up relaxed and happy.

Tammy was so sweet and so communicative and very flexible! You can tell Ben had the best night with her, and her space is perfect for the pups! Thanks for watching Ben, Tammy! 🐶

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.

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.
