Availability

I work from home which lends flexibility to my weekday care schedule. While I prefer if visits were completed before 9AM, during the noon lunch hour, or after 5PM, I can accommodate other requests as long as I don't have a meeting that requires me to be at my computer. I have no time constraints on the weekends.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not offer care services out of my home. I would love to stop by and meet your pets to learn their routine prior to taking care of them in your stead.

Information Tamara M. would like to know about your pet

Prior to caring for your animal, I would like to know of any dietary restrictions, medications, behavioral issues, and associated triggers such as loud noises, not liking their ears touched, wearing hats, etc.

A typical day

After a sufficient walk, multiple rounds of fetch in a safe place, or play time with toys, I would love to give your pet some affectionate scratches. If available, I can set them up with a licky mat or treat puzzle to pass some time until your return.

Pet care experience

When I travel, nothing gives me more anxiety than having to leave my fur babies! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help give others peace of mind that their pets are receiving quality care and are in trustworthy hands. Throughout my entire life, I have never been without pets. Growing up, we always had Lab's and Weimaraner's. Rescuing Weimaraner's has taught me how to interact with dogs that have behavioral issues. I have been a part of raising and caring for multiple dogs from puppy years until the age of 16. Currently, I have (2) 7 year old domestic short hair cats that I adopted as kittens. I know how to pill a cat, administer liquid medicine, and am aware of litter box habits to look out for. In addition to personal pets, I have regularly pet sat for neighbors and friends since high school.

Tamara is outstanding! She is very thorough, dependable, and communicative. She also has a deep knowledge about dogs. I feel so fortunate to have found her and I will ask her to take care of my dog and cat again in the future.

Tamara is an amazing pet sitter! We ended up having to hospitalize our cat for a urinary blockage while we were out of town and Tamara immediately stepped in to support, dropping off and picking up our cat from the hospital and helping with his medications once he was back home. She truly went above and beyond to be kind and communicative, and I’m so thankful for her!

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.
