I currently work remotely and am mostly present at home. This allows me to stick to meal schedules, take walks during my luch break and be physically close to pets.

Safety, trust & environment
I work and communicate closely with the owner to be informed of the animal's specific needs. I believe that communication is extremely important and listen very closely to the owners' and pets' requirements and look to provide optimal care. Most importantly, I connect with the pet and form a bond. In that way, I can understand and sense their needs.

Information Tamara K. would like to know about your pet
Communication and providing information is crucial so please feel free to tell me as much as possible about your pets and their specific needs. I am an excellent listener and will also implement what you require. It is also important to know if there is anything that your pets typically love, or might frighten or unnerve them. Animals are as quirky as people and nuances matter.
A typical day
I love to play games and spend quality time with pets. That is the beauty of our interaction with animals. I also live in a very scenic neighborhood (right by the East River) that is perfect for walks. The waterfront and numerous green spaces offer a lot of options when outdoors. That is fun and engaging both for the pet and myself, and makes us feel close to nature. There are also a few dog runs in the vicinity, but I leave it up to the owners if they want their dogs taken there or not. Different breeds and age groups require different levels of exercise.

Pet care experience
I've loved animals and taken care of them since I was a child. My experience includes dogs, rabbits, cats and horses (with the latter being difficult to board in my apartment but I am available to assist at stables and provide exercise). I relate naturally with animals and give them highly personalized attention and care. That is why they feel comfortable with me.

Reviews

Tamara was an absolutely fantastic host for Duke. She was responsive, kind, communicative and went above and beyond throughout the process.

I ended my 12‑night booking early due to a few concerns that came up during the stay. Communication was slower than I expected at times, and there were some mixed messages about the home environment—for example, I was initially told there were no plants, but later learned my cat had gotten into some dry ones. My cat is active and likes to climb, and a few normal behaviors seemed to cause frustration. Breakable items were left out, and I was asked to cover the cost of a plate that fell during his zoomies. I was also told he would need to be confined to a bedroom for the remainder of the stay, which didn’t feel like the right environment for him for another 10 nights. Based on my experience, this sitter may be a better fit for senior or lower‑energy pets who are less active around the home.

Tamara was great! My Luca seemed to really like her and he’s a big puppy who can be difficult outside and she was able to manage him with care. She let him be on the couch with her and she took him to the dog park. She sent so many pictures and video updates. I will stay with her for my Luca for sure. Thanks again, Tamara!

Tamara took excellent care of our boy for almost 3 weeks. She was super communicative with updates, photos and videos, and it was clear that she was taking great care of him the entire time. She'll be our go-to for all future dog sitting for sure!
