Loving care when your not there

Pet care experience

I specialize in special needs cats. I have three cats that are physically disabled. They require require specific preparation of food and sometimes medication. I started caring for stray and special needs cats when I was 23 years old. I also have two little dogs that love cats.

Tamara became their second mama. She loved on them, spent time, sent a gazillion pictures, knew how to space out food so they didn't get sick, and catered to some odd peculiarities, like laundry basket rides for Max. I think they missed her when we came home!

Tamara was an outstanding caregiver to our cats while we were away for many days. She followed our instructions and went above and beyond our expectations. Tamara was prompt each day. She also brought extra cat toys and played with our cats. She sent a detailed account for each visit, along with photos. Our cats were happy when we returned home and our house was spotless. I highly recommend Tamara.

We were in town for my Grandpa's funeral. He died tragically on Christmas day. We had no idea Grandma was allergic to dogs, so we had to find a sitter. It was short notice and nearly impossible to find anyone to care for our sweet dog Daisy. We were able to get in touch with Tamara. She was fantastic! When we arrived she invited us into her home and took the time to let Daisy explore her surroundings. My wife and I had an awesome conversation with her and her husband. We felt so welcome that it was tough to pull away. She was kind enough to send us pictures during our dogs stay and she included a card to thank us for choosing her and also welcomed Daisy back should we need her services again. Very professional and all around great person! We will definitely take our Daisy there again should the need arise!
