Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard that pups can run around in. I am liberal with giving treats, but will absolutely respect and follow what your dog’s feeding and treat needs are. I love engaging with pups and learning their personalities, so they won’t be ignored in any way while they are with me. Senior dogs are welcome.

Information Tamara M. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has special needs like medications, let me know. I had a lovely chihuahua with collapsing trachea who needed lots of daily meds for years before she passed, so I am comfortable with that.

A typical day

Bring your pup’s favorite toys so we can play. We’ll also explore the back yard and have plenty of one-on-one time. Free cuddles are always guaranteed (unless your pup prefers otherwise).

Animal lover to pamper your baby

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of pets my entire adulthood. Animals are angels on earth and truly part of what makes life so special. I don’t trust just anyone with my own fur baby, so I understand how stressful it can be to find someone to care for them when you need to travel or work extended hours. My entire family has dogs and I occasionally pet sit for relatives or friends who need it, so I figured I could do that more consistently to help others as well.

Tamara is the IDEAL person to watch your dog. She's a lifelong dog owner / lover, dogs adore and gravitate towards her. Tamara is very kind and empathetic and I would trust her with my fur baby any day of the week. Shes watched my dog many times, and every time my dog sees her he goes absolutely nuts because he loves spending time with her. If you want a loving, responsible dog owner to look after your dog, she is a great choice. She also has a large fenced in yard that any dog would love.

Tamara is an amazing pet sitter and caregiver. She took wonderful care of my dog Ruth for several years. Ruth absolutely loved spending time with Tamara and her pups (2 at that time). Ruth would jump about with excitement every time I got her ready to go to Tamara’s—it was clear she felt like part of Tamara’s pet family. I couldn’t be more grateful for the love and care Tamara gave to Ruth. She really is the best.

Tamara is reliable and responsible, and she loves animals! I can't think of anyone else I would trust with my sweet hound mix Abbey. Abbey adores her and I know that she is safe and well cared for.
