Safety, trust & environment

I try to combine their routine with a little added fun. Like when Grandma comes to visit. Some dogs enjoy doing different things like: tricks for treats, treat puzzles, play dates, joy rides...

Information Tamara C. would like to know about your pet

Aside from the care routine for the dog, their personality, temperament, socialization level, training. What makes the dog happy. What are their favorite toys. Do they get along with other dogs.

A typical day

Walks in the neighborhood, local parks. If the dog is social perhaps visit to a dog friendly place. I will play fetch. Anything the dog loves to do I would hope to share with them.

Pet care experience

The contentment of your pet is my priority. My purpose in providing care is to perform the service but in a manner that I connect with the dog/cat and help them be at ease and relaxed. I enjoy play time and walks in the park as much as they do. It is important to me the dog feels cared for and I will do light massage (it is free) if they like it. Sometimes just hanging out with them is what they want. I have years of experience and my clients have been primarily dogs. I have had pets my entire life. I most recently had a Cairn Terrier/Yorkie Mix. In the past I have had a Doberman, an Airedale, and a Miniature Schnauzer. I have been a pet sitter for Teacup Chihuahuas and Tibetan Mastiffs and many breeds in between. And I have cared for many feline friends.

Tamara is simply amazing! She took care of our girls for two nights and three days. She communicated frequently, sent updates and pictures of how our girls were doing and left our home cleaner than when she came. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girls, Tamara! ❤️

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
