Information Tamara K. would like to know about your pet

Your dog needs to get along with other dogs. Your dog needs to be spayed or neutered, use a doggy door and be potty-trained. Female dogs preferred (male dogs unfortunately want to mark)

A typical day

Our neighborhood is awesome for dog walking. We also have access to the desert trails right behind our house. We walk our own dogs daily. Our back yard is completely dog-friendly and also fenced in. Dogs truly can run and play.

Happy pets are my goal.

Pet care experience

I am a dog lover. When walking down the street, I am a dog-magnet. People have warned me that their dogs are "mean" and yet they gravitate towards me with tails wagging and face-lickers in action. I truly love having dogs around me. I have always owned dogs. Growing up on a farm I had large dogs. Now I have two small/medium dogs. I have experience with poodles, springer spaniels, golden retrievers and mutts. I am NOT comfortable with Pitbulls or pittbull mixes. Dog sitting in my home - my dogs friendly with a huge, fenced-in back yard. I live in a great neighborhood where dog-walking is a favorite hobby. My two dogs are small mixes between 10-19 pounds. I have kennels available but most of the time my dogs run freely around the house. At night they sleep next to my bed or on my bed. My husband lives with me and is also a dog lover. I work from home. My husband is retired. Drop in visits. I will gladly drop in and visit/feed/play/walk with your pet. I will also water plants, clean the litterbox, etc...

Kind, caring and understanding to my dog who's a picky eater. Tamara found a food that works, and shared with me. She lives near me, so the trip there and back was easy--5 mins. Her other dogs accedpted mine easily and my dog came home tired and happy. So grateful!

Tamara took wonderful care of my dog! She always had a human there- Tamara and/or her husband- and their 3 dogs, Angel, Griffin, and Libby. My dog loved all the human and canine attention. She usually comes back home stressed out from being boarded or with a pet sitter, but not this time! She must have had a great time. I will rebook with her for future trips!

Warm and welcoming family. Sweet Pea was leery at first but quickly became part of the "pack". Tamara is kind, caring and relaxed with dogs. Recomnend highly!

Sweet Pea loved playing hard with Tamara's dogs. Then slept on her lap! Got home relaxed and tired out (a very good thing!) And ate a big dinner! So happy to have found good doggie care nearby
