Pet care experience

Veteran | Experienced Pet Sitter

I’ve owned dogs for over 16 years. I work from home and I’m mostly a home body other than my occasional store or gym run. I would love to care for your pet! I do own my own dogs currently but they are friendly. My schedule also allows for frequent potty breaks if needed and I am able to adapt to their feeding schedule and they will rarely be caged unless it is needed. Please do not submit a pick-up and drop off window that exceeds 30 minutes. My earliest drop off/pickup time is 6am and the latest drop off/pick up time is 9pm. I also believe in convenience so you only need to bring your dog, their food, and any specialized treats. I already have cages, bowls, beds, and toys. I also have extra leashes, harnesses, collars rain/winter coats if something were to happen to your pet’s belongings. I am also able to provide location tracking via AirTags if needed. I will also bath and brush your dog if needed at no additional cost. I am registered with Petsitters International, I have a pet first aid kit in case of emergencies and I am pet CPR certified. Please note, I do typically accept multiple bookings but, your pet will never be left alone with another dog unsupervised . If you would like to book me and would not like your animal to be around other dogs, please let me know and I can make accommodations. *There will be a surcharge for unneutered male dogs due to their nature to territory mark. There will also be a surcharge for non-house broken pets.

Tamara was incredibly attentive and understanding throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Nina was happy and well cared for. Nina got plenty of time at the park, socialized a lot, and was always in great company with Tamara and her pups. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
