Pet care experience

Law Student and Devoted Dog Mom <3

I've spent most of my life caring for my own senior dog, so I understand how important patience, routine, and gentle attention are for every pup. From long walks to cozy naps, I make sure every pet gets the same care, comfort, and attention I'd want for my own dog.

Knocked it out of the park again! Tamara was very attentive to my little guy and would send photo updates throughout boarding. Very communicative and very accommodating - 10/10!

We booked somewhat last minute for our dog Shiloh. She was still able to accommodate a meet and greet. When we were gone she provided lots of updates on how he was doing. He had way more fun than the alternative of boarding at a pet spa. Would recommend.

Tamara was amazing! With daily photos and updates in my little guy, it seemed like he had a great time with her and Vader. Very kind and communicative - 10s all across the board!

Schedule

As a law student who studies from home, I have a schedule that lets me give dogs consistent attention, long walks, and lots of love throughout the day! I am only away from home when I am in class Monday-Thursday until 3:30 pm at the latest. I take my own dog out every six hours or so.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog in someone else's care, so I treat every dog with the same care and attention I give my own senior pup, making sure they are comfortable, secure, and happy in a calm, loving environment.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day starts with a walk around Findlay Market or Washington Park with my senior dog, Vader. After class, I spend a few hours studying from home, which means I am here for regular potty breaks, playtime, and belly rubs!

Before caring for your dog, I like to learn about their daily routine, personality, and comfort needs so I can make them feel right at home. Please let me know: - Feeding and potty schedules - Energy level and favorite activities - How they do around other dogs and on walks - Any medical needs, allergies, or mobility issues - Any comfort items - Any house rules you'd like me to abide by
