Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Lover

Hi! I’m Tamara, a passionate animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic dogs to independent cats and even smaller critters. Whether it’s providing belly rubs, a fun walk, or just being a comforting presence, I understand that every pet deserves attention and love, especially when their favorite human is away. As a lifelong pet owner myself, I know firsthand how important it is to feel confident about who’s caring for your furry family members. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and right at home—even when they’re not! Care Experience: Growing up, I was surrounded by pets of all types, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs. I currently have an energetic and friendly Golden Retriever called Skye and cuddle obsessed cat called Charlie, so I’m well-versed in the daily needs, quirks, and routines that make each pet unique. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for years and have built a reputation as a dependable and caring sitter. My experience includes handling puppies, senior dogs, and even pets with specific dietary or medical needs. Whether it's playtime, keeping a pet’s feeding schedule, or giving medications, I’ve got it covered! Special Skills: * Comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments * Experienced with training, feeding schedules, and special diets * Attentive to safety, particularly during walks and playtime * Able to recognise signs of anxiety or discomfort in pets and adjust my approach as needed What I Offer: * Drop-In Visits: check-ins up to an hour to ensure your pet is comfortable, fed, and happy. * Overnight Stays: I’m happy to stay over for longer trips, ensuring pets have company and consistency. Why Book Me? I’m reliable, communicative, and I genuinely care about the pets I look after. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and cared for. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet and see if I’m the right match for you and your pet!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Prioritising Your Pet’s Safety and Well-Being Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I’m comfortable handling different types of harnesses and am experienced with crate training if needed, ensuring that your pet is safe and comfortable at all times. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and needs, making any adjustments necessary to keep them relaxed and happy. With me, you can trust that your pet will be well cared for, whether it’s a walk in the park, playtime at home, or a cozy overnight stay.

Tamara was great with Buster, he was super chilled out and had clearly had a lovely day. We’ll look forward to having Tamara over again 😊

Tamara was delightful with Coco, responded to what she needed (which after a busy Christmas was space, quiet and a cuddle). Listened to everything we asked, very responsive on messages and definitely would book again!

Tamara was wonderful with Maude. I came home to a happy healthy pup who had blatantly had the best time with this lovely calm and confident young lady. Thank you so so much Tamara and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area she’s a gem !

Schedule

Flexible Availability to Suit Your Pet's Needs I work compressed hours from home, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule to accommodate your pet's routine so I can adjust to meet your pet’s needs. Plus, having my own car means I’m more than happy to reach areas that aren’t accessible by public transport, ensuring that your furry friend gets the care they need no matter where you are.

Please tell me about your pets usual routine, personality, feeding arrangements and any medication or additional needs. For cats it is also helpful to know where they may hide, whether they go outdoors, how they behave with new people and what signs might indicate that they’re worried or unwell.
