Pet care experience
Experienced. Calm. Affectionate.
Hello! ****Please read my ENTIRE profile before sending me a message! Thank you for your interest in The RuffHouse - Richmond. We hare a husband and wife team. I have worked in a veterinary hospital and my husband worked at a commercial doggy daycare where he was responsible for 50-100 dogs at a time. We have also been pet sitting for the Rover Community for almost 10 years. I also have my own dogs and cats and have fostered multiple pets. I have a bachelors of science degree in biology. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, in addition to cats, reptiles, and some caged animals. Your pet will be treated as a member of our family during their stay. Please look further down the page for more details about my home and requirements for your pet's stay.

Ratings and reviews
Tamara took excellent care of Apollo while we were away on vacation. We gots updates daily and photos of him enjoying his stay! It was his first time cohabitating with cats and she was great at managing his interactions and slowly letting him get used to them. We will certainly be booking again. Thanks so much!
Tamara took exceptional care of our dog and sent photos/videos of him playing and having a good time while I was out of town. Would highly recommend her for all dog sitting needs
Coco enjoyed her time with you. She must have had a great time because she’s been lazy and sleeping since she got home! Thank you again for loving our baby while we were away.
Thank you very much taking such good care of our babies. Would recommend you to my friends and family. Would hire your services in future too.
One of the highlights of Tamara's service was her thoughtful gesture of sending us daily photos of our corgis. Tamara went above and beyond, ensuring their basic needs were met and showering them with affection and companionship. We are grateful for your kindness and look forward to entrusting our furry family members to you in the future.
I will definitely use Tamara again. She was responsive and wonderful! Our pup had a great time and made new friends. 😍
