Information Tamara J. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I like to walk and hike which I can do right out my door here in Penticton. I love taking our fur babies for a swim or to local dog parks for exercise and social time. I always ensure that there are a lot of toys to play with at home and good games of tug of war are to be had! I do also love to give lots of attention and lap time.

A loving cozy apartment

Pet care experience

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!

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.
