HUGE ANIMAL LOVER :)

Pet care experience

I've owned dogs for as long as I can remember. All but one dog I've had, I've rescued. I'm an extreme animal lover therefore I truly believe that your dog in a big part of your family, someone you may consider your child. I currently own 2 cats and 2 dogs Lab mixes. I've pet-sat for many friends. I've even pet-sat a friends Lab and they no longer want anyone but me to care for their baby. I can provide you with great recommendations and highly encourage you to try me out. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Why I love pet sitting: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I've owned many animals over the past 20 years or so and I've only actually paid for one...All others I have rescued. My current babies include 2 dogs and 2 cats and believe me, they are spoiled!! I've pet sat for several dogs over the years and each person continued/continues to use my services whenever they need me. When I've pet-sat in my home, the owners always "complained" that their dogs came back spoiled. My boss at my old job once told me that when he died he wanted to come back as one of my animals. I've also been pet-sitting 2 dogs since the Thanksgiving holiday, on a constant basis, whenever the owner needs me. I can't see my life without those 2. He also has an outdoor stray cat that he feeds, so of course I take care of the cat, as well. By the way, when hired to go to a customers home to feed and let their dogs out, I don't just do that and leave. Honestly, I usually play with the animals (dogs) and simply love on them for at least an hour each time I go. I take care of others babies as I would my own. My experience administering medication: Yes I am comfortable administering medications.

Tamara is great! She takes her time to introduce herself to your pet, and makes sure they’re comfortable with her entering your home. She’s always on time and responsive to calls/texts! My pup loves her and the massages he gets during each drop-in visit! I would recommend Tamara to everyone, and will only be asking her for help on the future.

Tamara was great! Had something come up last minute and saw that she lived close by. She contacted me within minutes and we met later that day. The following day she came to check up on our 3 dogs and gave us updates with pictures. Will definitely use her again. Thanks again Tamara!

Tamara has dog sat my Maltese-Yorkshire Terrier Jojo on several occasions and is one of the few people I genuinely trust leaving him with because I know she takes such good care of him! Jojo isn't just another dog when he's with her, he's one of her children and she treats him as such! Meals are given on schedule, she makes sure he gets plenty of exercise and has in the process and has always kept him safe and happy while we were away! There have been times when Jojo obviously had so much fun he wasn't ready to come home just yet! she will continue to be the first person we contact if we cannot bring Jojo out of town with us because I know I don't have to worry about him one bit, he's in great hands!

Tamara is great!!! I have used her twice and she is very quick to reply, friendly and most importantly is great with my dogs. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.

Information Tamara G. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. The only thing I like to know ahead of time, is whether someone's dog gets aggressive if they smell the scent of another dog and/or cat on me. As previously stated, I own 2 dogs and 2 cats and I know how dogs usually act when they smell the scent of other animals on me. Since that obviously can't be avoided, I just like to know or see how a customers animal would respond. To date, it has never caused any issues.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog: That all depends on how close you live to me and how often you want me to come by. Usually I like to spend 30 minutes to an hour with a customers dog, whenever I visit. I can never really see myself just going to someone's house and only feeding and letting their dogs out and then leaving. Dogs need to be loved on as much as possible, especially when their owner is away. Extra house-sitting services: Yes I am willing to do additional tasks while at your home. I usually do so without having to be asked, anyway. I've had customers pay me extra to do some light housework while there.
