Pet care experience

I will treat your pets as my own!

I'm what my friends call the "crazy animal person". Dogs, cats, horses, snakes... You name it, I love it and love to care for them. I adore every breed, age, and size of dog. But I have a soft spot for the ones who are a handful or get a bad rap, such as herding breeds, bully breeds, Chihuahuas, etc. I took a veterinary assistant course at a tech center in high school, where I learned much about the care of small mammals, birds, and exotic pets. I have both personally and professionally cared for a variety of pets for many years, and have loved every second of it! I've worked in two boarding facilities, mostly caring for dogs and cats. I volunteered at a sanctuary farm for years, working with any and every farm animal you can think of. I am trained in administering oral medications as well as injections, insulin included. I currently have 2 dogs and a gaggle of cats and ducks of my own who are my entire world. I treat every pet the way I want mine to be treated, with all the love and care I have to give.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have years of experience both personally and professionally caring for animals of all kinds, in a variety of environments. I always make sure gates and doors are closed to avoid someone getting loose or going somewhere the owners don't want them to go. On walks I am very observant of my surroundings and take every precaution to ensure your animals are safe and have a great time. At home I love to know where their toys or favorite snuggle spots are so we can make the most of the time I'm caring for them.

Tamara has been taking our dog out every day for 2 years. She is very reliable and Sisko loves her more than anything. We are very happy to have found her. We are looking forward to the next few years with her.

Tammy is the kindest, most compassionate pet sitter you will ever find. She goes above and beyond while taking care of my two cats. She treats my pets with tenderness as if they were her own.

Tammy is an absolute angel. My kitty was grumpy, hissy & growly, but Tammy’s kindness and care got her turned around to purrs and head butts. Tammy went above and beyond to care for my pet.

Tamara was wonderful with my two cats. She administered their medications and kept their food, water, and boxes perfectly. Tamara went above and beyond to establish a bond with my fussy cat and gave both cats plenty of love and attention. She is reliable and dependable and I will definitely reschedule with Tamara in the future to look after my cats.

I love to know the dog's routine, what he/she enjoys and also the things they don't appreciate. Some dogs want to play fetch or run or walk or wrestle for hours, others want to just relax :) I like to know what the dog wants and needs, along with their parents. I love every breed and size of dog equally, they're all individuals with their own unique personality and quirks.
