The best part of life....

Pet care experience

Let's start with the most important, my love for animals is abundant and infinite. I wanted to be a wildlife biologist, but school wasn't my jam. I've volunteered for Willowbrook Wildlife Center, mainly on the resident side. I like to establish a connection, gain trust, and be consistent. Consistency is vital for any form of life. I've worked at dog patch in Naperville in my younger years. Generally, my passion is animals. I have cared for, within my sanctuary, felines, canines, vertebrates, rodents, reptile, aquatic. All likes of life. The best kinds of life. Any animal is immediately my child whom I'll protect, care for, nurture and love each and every time.

Tamara was very communicative and trustworthy. My dog had some stomach issues while I was away and she kept me updated and took really good care of her! I’m grateful she was here and I knew Pearly was in good hands when she wasn’t feeling well. Thank you again!

Tamara was great! She was very reliable, kept us infirmed with messages & pictures, and even cleaned up the house & did guest bed laundry before she left. I highly recommend Tamara and will call her next time we need a pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I will honor all rules with integrity. I am vigilant, detailed and passionately dedicated. Which is truly a dying work ethic, not to mention I'm quite selfless. I accommodate most needs and not afraid to get dirty. I have a level of assertiveness and immense patience that boasts well with the younger/in training pets. At home, I have the most perfect 13 year old beagle, Lucky. My lil'ol'lady has numerous managed illnesses, none of which are viral. But all managed with, daily medications, home cooked meals, supplements and exercises. I am a very devoted mother. As is how I would be with any living creature of preciousness within my sanctuary.

I work intermittent with the Forest Preserve, making my schedule fluctuate. Busy season has started, so my schedule is picking up again. My schedule comes out monthly where I'm scheduled to work 3-4 days a week. Hours each shift can reflect times from 5:30am-1:30pm, 10am-6pm, 10:30am-6:30pm, 11am-7pm, 12pm-8pm. As the sunset times shift our closing shifts do as well. I have no other obligations, except to my future clients and daughter beagle, Lucky. 🙂
