New to Rover? Use this Promo Code $20 Off for New Rover Clients: https://www.rover.com/sit/tamarl95368 I have over 20 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I understand their need for routine, exercise, and companionship. I currently share my home with two small dogs who are gentle, well socialized, and love other pets. Alongside my lifelong love of dogs, I also specialize in caring for cats, including those with special needs. I have three cats who are physically disabled, so I’m experienced with preparing special diets, giving medication, and creating a safe and stress free environment. My time working part-time at a veterinary clinic gave me even more hands on experience supporting pets with a wide range of needs. For all new clients, I schedule a quick meet-and-greet before accepting a booking. It helps us make sure I’m the right fit for your home, your routine, and your pet’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In your home, I follow your routines closely so your dog or cat feels secure and stress-free. I take time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. For dogs, that means regular walks, playtime, and keeping them on their normal feeding and potty schedule. For cats, it may mean quiet companionship, play sessions, or specialized care if they have unique needs. I’m also experienced with administering medications and preparing special diets when needed. After each visit, I provide updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for.
Ratings and reviews
We love Tamara. She has been scheduled for drop ins multiple times and always goes above and beyond for our animals and house while we are away. She’s great at sending updates and pictures so we never have to worry. Definitely the best sitter we have found and will continue to use her for any pet needs. Thank you girl❤️
I could not have been happier with the care that Tamara provided my dog Harvey. I found myself in a bit of a bind, but Tamara was accommodating even on short notice. Also, she was able to stop by prior to meet Harvey, which I definitely appreciated!
Tamara is our Angel!! She's always looking out for my furbaby's best interest. I cant say enough good things... im truly so happy & relieved to have her in our corner. Extremely competent, dependable, thoughtful, & caring!!!
Tamara is just AMAZING! Not only is she super skilled & knowledgeable, but has a great Love for animals..that's clear for miles! My "complicated" fur baby was cared for with such love & understanding. Communication is EXCELLENT, she's very articulate & intentional. We're blessed to have found her & cant wait to book again. A+++ Paula
Went way above and beyond our requests and never made me doubt that my animals would be taken care of. also very reassuring with leaving pictures and detailed descriptions of the visits.
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!

- I have experience providing care for senior and special needs dogs and cats. I can administer medication and prepare specialized meals per your instruction. Before caring for your pets, I like to meet with families to make sure I’m a good fit for your home and your pets. During that time, I log all of your expectations and routines in a notebook, so your pet’s care stays consistent. I also request emergency contact information to ensure your pet’s safety at all times.
