Highlights
Pet care experience
Previous dog rescuer & foster home
I used to volunteer in the kennels at West Suburban Humane Society in Downers Grove. I have fostered over 80 dogs and puppies from area rescues including Peace for Pits, Chicagoland Bully Breed, Forget Me Not Rescue and Magnificent Mutts. Your dog will be treated like a member of my family. I have a 5 ft and 6 ft cedar fenced in double lot in Brookfield. Please contact me for more information! **PLEASE NOTE, DUE TO SAFETY AND INSURANCE LIABILITY, I CAN NO LONGER ALLOW CLIENTS IN MY HOME** If meet & greets are required, they will be done outside in my backyard or at local park. I am willing to come by your home in advance to introduce myself and meet your dog(s) prior to boarding. Thank you for understanding.

Ratings and reviews
Tamara was very kind and welcoming. Happy dog Happy place. Highly recommended. Thank you
She is Wonderful!!!!! Takes great care of the animals and she works with you by any means! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
Tamara took excellent care of our dog River for a dog sitting session! She was flexible and very kind! River can’t wait to visit her again!
So grateful for Tamara and her pups! It’s a fun vacation for Wiggles every time she stays with them. Wiggles, unfortunately, wore a cone and itchy paws when we dropped her off and Tamara was so helpful making sure she had her medicine 2x a day and topical on Wiggles. When we returned, Wiggles was feeling so much better! 💖
Tamara is great! Very accommodating and flexible. She stayed in communication the whole time, which was very nice for my first time using Rover. You can tell she really loves and cares about your pets.
Willy had a great stay with Tamara and the other dogs. We received cute photos while we were away and Willy seemed like he enjoyed his stay.

Schedule
**PLEASE NOTE, DUE TO SAFETY AND INSURANCE LIABILITY, I CAN NO LONGER ALLOW CLIENTS IN MY HOME** If meet & greets are required, they will be done outside in my backyard or at local park. I am willing to come by your home in advance to introduce myself and meet your dog(s) prior to boarding. Thank you for understanding. I am a disabled / former police officer. Since I am disabled, I work from home part time (self employed / entrepreneur). I am home a majority of the time with my 2 adult dogs. If I needed to be gone for a long amount of time, my fiancé is home for potty breaks and meal breaks. Daily walks given.

- Please no destructive dogs. I’ve had so many rescue dogs in my home, I understand some damage comes with the territory but excessive damage isn’t ideal. Please provide any information about your dog so I can make sure he or she gets the proper care they deserve!
