Doggie Boarding & Daycare with Love

Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years, starting with dogs as a child and now raising a full house of furry family members—3 cats (Buddy, Dash, and Little Girl), 2 dogs (Bingo and Cooper), and a boarded horse named Hendrix. My love for animals has driven me to provide personalized care, from playtime and cuddles to ensuring their health and happiness. As someone who works remotely, I can provide 24/7 care, offering constant supervision and companionship for your pets. I specialize in boarding and daycare, ensuring a safe, loving environment where pets are treated like family. Whether it’s young, energetic puppies or senior pets needing extra attention, I have the experience and heart to meet their unique needs. My goal is to make every pet feel at home while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in caring hands. I can’t wait to meet and spoil your beloved pets with all the love and attention they deserve!

Tamara really helped me feel at ease leaving our puppy with her on our first trip away without him. She sent lots of updates, pictures, and even a video of him having a great time.

Tamara took excellent care of our dog, Biscuit. She even made him chicken and rice when he had an upset tummy! Thank you so much, Tamara!

Tamara and her crew (daughters & 2 fur boys) took great care of Tiggie. I have been reluctant about leaving Tiggie with sitters as I have had a few negative experiences. Tara was very attentive, gave Tiggie her meds, sent great pictures and was easy to talk with. I could see that Tiggie was made a part of her family and was having as wonderful vacation as I was.

Our first time leaving our puppy with anyone, Tamara was AWESOME! She sent pics, videos daily, communicated quickly when I sent her messages. She made all my concerns go away! All in all he was in such great hands and I will definitely book with Tamara again!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets will feel right at home, and you’ll always know how they’re doing!

Pets

A typical day

A typical day in my care is full of love, play, and personalized attention to keep your pet happy and healthy. The day starts with a morning routine that includes feeding, fresh water, and a nice walk or outdoor play session to get some energy out. Throughout the day, I keep pets engaged with activities tailored to their needs, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys for mental stimulation. For pets who enjoy socialization, there’s plenty of supervised interaction and playtime with other furry friends. If your pet prefers a quieter environment, we’ll have one-on-one snuggles, gentle walks, or relaxation time in their favorite cozy spot. Midday includes another walk or play session, followed by some downtime for pets to rest and recharge. I provide lots of love, belly rubs, and companionship to ensure they feel safe and at home. In the evening, we wind down with another round of outdoor time, dinner, and snuggles before bedtime. Every day is designed to keep your pet entertained, cared for, and feeling like part of the family!

To provide the best care for your pet, it’s important to know a few key details ahead of time: Temperament and Behavior: Is your pet social or shy? Are there any specific triggers, fears, or concerning behaviors I should be aware of? Daily Routine: What is your pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, and typical routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease? Health Information: Does your pet have any medical conditions, allergies, or dietary restrictions? Are they on any medications? Special Needs: Do they require extra attention, such as senior care, puppy training, or help with mobility? Preferences: What are their favorite toys, activities, or comfort items? What helps them feel safe and happy in new environments? Emergency Contacts: Your preferred vet information and emergency contact details, just in case. The more I know about your pet, the more I can tailor my care to ensure they have a safe, happy, and stress-free experience!
