Highlights
Pet care experience
Fellow Canine Enthusiast
With six years of experience in dog/house sitting and dog walking, I have cultivated a strong rapport with both pets and their owners. My journey began with a genuine love for animals and a commitment to providing them with the care and attention they deserve while their owners are away. Dog Walking: As a dog walker, I prioritize the physical and emotional well-being of each dog I care for. I understand the importance of regular exercise and socialization for dogs, and I tailor each walk to meet their individual needs. My approach includes: • Ensuring safety during walks by using appropriate leashes and harnesses. • Adapting routes to accommodate the dog’s energy level and preferences. • Providing companionship and engagement, making walks enjoyable and stimulating. House Sitting: In my role as a house sitter, I take on the responsibility of maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for pets and their homes. My services include: • Feeding, grooming, and administering medication as needed. • Maintaining daily routines to reduce stress for pets. • Keeping the home secure and tidy, including watering plants and collecting mail. • Regular updates for pet owners, ensuring peace of mind while they’re away. Commitment to Care: I am dedicated to fostering a loving and safe environment for pets in my care. My goal is to provide not only a service but also companionship, ensuring that each pet feels comfortable and valued during their owner’s absence. My experience allows me to handle various breeds and temperaments with confidence and care.

Ratings and reviews
Amazing as always. Very thankful for this sitter
Tamara was very easy to work with. My trip was a bit last minute but we were able to schedule a meet and greet soon after confirming the stay. She stayed in my home with my dog and was very respectful of my space. I was thankful to come home to a clean house, she really went above and beyond there. My dog is aggressive with other dogs, this is always my worry when leaving him alone with a new person but Tamara assured me she understood and I am thankful that there were no issues with that. Tamara was sure to do daily check ins and send photos, she was quick to respond before and during the stay as well. I would for sure work with Tamara again.
We love this sitter so much! She’s so attentive, kind, and sweet! And my pup is always excited to see her. Can’t recommend her enough!
Super happy with Tamara’s services!! She follows instructions carefully, is respectful of my home, and asks questions to make sure she’s giving my pup the care I want for her! Can’t recommend her enough. Amazing communication! And I love the picture updates!! Will definitely book her again.
My husband and I recently hired Tamara to watch our dogs over Christmas, and while there were several positive aspects of her service, a few issues arose that we feel are important to mention. On the plus side, she was very friendly, our dogs seemed to like her, and she sent daily photo updates, which we really appreciated. She also vacuumed, took out the trash, and cleaned the surfaces in the house before leaving. However, we did encounter some communication problems. One of our dogs got into a bottle of supplements for our other dog (totally not Tamara's fault) and it seemed likely that she ate the cap of the bottle. I had asked her to monitor the dog closely and let me know how she was doing. That dog ended up throwing up on the carpet downstairs, but we only learned about it after noticing the stains ourselves when we returned home. This seems like something we should have been notified of ASAP considering the incident with the supplement bottle. We also could have told Tamara where the carpet cleaner was and possibly avoided the lasting stains that will now need professional cleaning to remove. We also discovered multiple different stains on our comforter after she had washed and dried it, but again, this was never brought to our attention. Overall, we appreciated her kindness and the care she showed our pets, but better and more timely communication would have greatly improved our experience. We hope this feedback is helpful for anyone considering her services.
Tamara was fantastic, so communicative and attentive to our dogs and took great care of our house! Highly recommend!!
