Pet care experience

A loving cozy apartment

Our pets give nothing but unconditional love and that is what I give back as well. Coming home to my pets was the best part of my day. I have a one floor townhome and a fenced backyard for your dog to roam in. I live in a quiet and safe area with places to explore. I typically walk dogs twice a day before and after work. I always make sure their needs come first and will make sure that yours do to. I am a very relaxed dog owner and can ensure you that your pets will be well loved while in my home or at yours. I have owned 2 cats and 3 dogs that are no longer with me and want to fill that void again. All sizes of dogs are welcome in my home but I prefer to take non aggressive pets or un-neutered ones. I am very experienced with dogs of many ages and breeds, I can administer medications and assist with kennel training if needed. I do work full time days, but pets are never home alone for more than 8 hours during the week and on the weekends I spend as much time with them as possible. I am available during the week as well as weekends. I’d be honoured if you chose me for a temp home for your pets as I know how difficult it can be to go away. Before drop off I would like to do a meet and greet to ensure your comfortability and theirs.

Tamara is a great pet sitter. Ava is always so calm after coming up from a stay with her!

Tamara was amazing with Ava! She took such great care of her and kept me updated with tons of adorable photos, which I really appreciated. Ava looked so happy and relaxed the whole time. We will definitely be booking with Tamara again. Ava is already looking forward to her next visit! 🐾

Late notice and was able to find Tamara. Our beagle was safe and sound the whole time with lots of walks! Will use again and would recommend!

Tamara is a warm-hearted, compassionate animal lover. Tamara has a natural aptitude for animals - they gravitate toward her! She is kind and spoils her own fur babies. She takes great pride in their well-being and puts their needs first. Having spent time with Tamara and her dogs, it is easy to see how seriously she takes the responsibility of pet ownership. They are very happy. I have also seen Tamara interacting with many different types of dogs in many different settings. It's clear to see the bond she shares with dogs. Tamara's home is beautiful, safe, and well-kept. It is the perfect setting for hosting friends (including furry ones). I would trust any pet with Tamara and would recommend her to any friend looking for a responsible, caring, loving "home away from home" for their dogs.

Caring, trustworthy and a friendly personality. Tamara has 2 dogs of her own. She has cared for the poor, addicted and homeless people of Kelowna so to say the least she is without a doubt responsible. If you are fortunate enough to have Tamara care for our pets you will have the best sitter Kelowna has to offer. Don't just take my word for it ask her Pug KIA, and her American Eskimo BELLA.

I would like to know everything about your pets, from what they like to what they don’t like. Whether that’s being scratched behind their ears or just enjoying peace and quiet. I want to ensure that your pets are happy in my home and yours. I’d also like to know of any health concerns and your favoured vet and their wants and needs.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
