Hi there! My name is Tamara, I am 31 years old. I've spent my whole life around dogs and I am very reliable and caring. I will treat your dog with the love and playfulness they deserve! I work from home so they will get all the attention they need plus more. I can easily be contacted at anytime for updates and reassurance of your pups welfare! My husband and I have a chocolate lab who love visitors, so your pup will have a friend. So come let them play together! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have! You won't regret it!

Tamara was willing to take our dog for the night on short notice and was very accommodating. She sent a picture and updates to us, which we appreciated. I certainly felt comfortable with him at her house and would book again in the future. Thank you!

Tamara and her family were great with Otis - he seemed to really enjoy his time there. Tamara was also flexible, agreeing to watch Otis an extra day. We will not hesitate to book Tamara again.
