The Leash Resort: Retire Teacher.

Pet care experience

I’m a retired teacher and I love dogs. I have had dogs my entire life and understand the need of knowing you are leaving your babies in good care! I was trusted with students for 25 years. I promise to love your fur babies like my own. Im older, and I have a full free schedule. I’ve been vetted by the state for teaching and I’m trustworthy. I am a Casa volunteer and work within the foster system. I am most likely the only sitter vetted by the FBI and homeland security. I have one dog Wrigley (Chi) and a grand dog Jax, the husky, They are my life. My kids are grown , and I wish to put my caring heart back to work. I would have a hundred dogs if my husband would agree. I have all the time to devote to your pet while you are away. As I did my students, I will love them as my own. Thanks for considering me ! Please know: If you do a meet and greet at my home, we will visit outside due to Covid and safety. I can show you pictures of the home for your consideration. I’m just trying to protect my elderly parents and my family. If you wish for me to walk your fur baby, please provide a harness for his or her safety.

Tamara has watched our Doberman a few times now and it’s always been a wonderful experience! Excited to use her again! We love that she sends pictures and updates!

I was very comfortable from the minute I dropped him off. Tammy made Magic her own. He was so happy.

Harper had an amazing stay with Tamara! From the moment we met, I could tell Tamara truly loves animals and is incredibly responsible and kind. She welcomed Harper into her home like family, and I felt completely at ease leaving her in such caring hands. Tamara kept me updated throughout the stay with sweet messages and photos that showed Harper relaxing, playing, and clearly feeling at home. It meant the world to see her happy and well cared for—especially since Harper can be a bit shy in new environments. Her home is clean, safe, and pet-friendly, with a great outdoor space and cozy indoor areas. I could tell Harper was treated like one of her own and got plenty of attention, exercise, and snuggles.
