Preferred activities, health, behaviors, past history, how they are with other pets and kids: all these details would help me care for your babies better

A typical day

We live next to a park and I like walking, so we take 3-4 walks a day. We play also in our backyard with balls and sticks. At home dogs and cats get belly rubs and approved by owner treats. We also watch true crime shows together. Pets are cleaned after their visits to the park every day. Other grooming services can be provided as well.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Tamara, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life 🐾 I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—their personalities, their quirks, and just making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I always try to tailor care to each pet’s needs. Whether that’s long walks, playtime, sticking to a specific routine, or just keeping them company and giving lots of attention, I’m happy to adjust. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and stress-free. I’ve had experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, temperaments, and needs, and I’m very attentive to details like feeding routines, medications (if needed), and behavior changes. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I work in a way that allows me to spend quality time with the pets I care for. I’m reliable, responsive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member 💛

Tamara was a great sitter and took such wonderful care of Mickie. She sent videos and pictures all day long and we could tell Mickie was truly happy with them.

Nice mother and family to take care of my pup with constant updates being given, allowing me time for long activities without much worry for her.

Tamara watched our 3 cats with great care, and she provided photos and updates, and was checking in with us every time there was any concerns. She clearly likes cats in general and likes playing with them, so our babies had a good time. Definitely recommend!
