Pet care experience

Loving, reliable care for your pet

What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attentiveness, patience, and genuine care I bring to every pet I work with. I don’t just “watch” pets — I learn their routines, quirks, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I have extensive experience with small and senior dogs, including my own 12-year-old mini poodle, so I’m very comfortable with gentle handling, medication routines, mobility support, and calming anxious pups. I understand that older dogs and shy pets need a slower pace, consistency, and lots of reassurance — and that’s exactly what I provide. I’m also reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in calm, capable hands. Whether your dog is playful, timid, energetic, or just wants to nap next to someone kind, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel right at home. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. 🐾

Tamara takes amazing care of my Trevor, and she always leaves my home cleaner than she found it! She has been my go-to sitter for the last 2 years. It warms my heart to see how excited Trevor gets to see her! Highly recommend her!

Schedule

I work from home and keep a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, medication, and potty breaks on a consistent routine. Whether it's early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening care, I plan my time so your pet's needs always come first.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and needs so I can provide calm, consistent care. In your home, I follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and double-check doors, gates, and leashes to keep everything secure. In my home, pets are treated like family in a safe, cozy, and supervised environment with plenty of structure, play, rest, and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you always feel confident and connected while you're away.

Pets

A typical day

Each furbaby has a different personality and I try to determine what their idea of fun is and play with them the way they prefer. Some like to play with toys, some like to chase around or just tease with their toys without you actually ever tossing it to fetch. Some enjoy just sitting and cuddling on the couch or getting pets. I try to be really flexible and do what they prefer ☺️

Please tell me what commands they know! This is super helpful especially if they are boarding with me. I want to speak the language they understand :) also please tell me any habits they have so I can keep an eye out for any irregularities. Lastly please tell me about any medical conditions if they have any and what medications they are on.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
