Pet care experience

A pawsitive experience 🐶

Hi, I’m Tamara! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I was lucky enough to turn that passion into a career as a veterinary technician of 7 years. Now, as a stay-at-home mom, I’m able to blend my nurturing nature with my professional experience by offering dog walking/boarding and drop ins. Working in the veterinary field gave me the skills and confidence to care for pets with all kinds of needs—from playful puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra TLC. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or making sure medications are given on schedule, I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my family. My goal is to keep tails wagging and give you peace of mind knowing your furry loved ones are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

Boarding • Dec 28, 2025

My furbaby was well taken care of!! We received pictures and videos that definitely helped ease our anxiety about being separated from our fur baby. Tamara was incredibly patient and flexible with our last minute booking for our 2 yr old German Shepherd! Our big girl has big pup energy and we are incredibly fortunate to have come across Tamara and her family ! Her care with our pup is appreciated!!!

Tamara took good care of my dog! She provided me with updates on how my dog was doing while I was gone, and let me know of any issues. She sent pictures and videos as well. My dog loved all the attention she got and was happy after staying there.

Tamara is highly compassionate when it comes to animals. She would make an amazing pet sitter. Outside of her compassion, Tamara worked as a VetTech, so she is highly skilled with handling multiple breeds/species, understanding different temperaments, and understanding their needs. I highly recommend Tamara for a Rover pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

For everyone’s safety and comfort, please note that pets boarding in my home must be: Comfortable being around children (as I have kids in the household). Friendly with or tolerant of other dogs (as I have a resident dog). This helps ensure a safe, happy, and stress-free stay for your pet, mine, and my family. Thank you for understanding and helping us create a positive environment for all!

Pets

A typical day

day with your pup is all about keeping them happy and comfy. We’ll start with a nice walk to get some wiggles out, then breakfast and fresh water before settling in for playtime or a cozy nap. Throughout the day, I’ll mix in potty breaks, cuddles, and a little extra fun—like fetch or just hanging out together. In the evening, it’s dinner, another walk, and winding down with plenty of love and snuggles.
