Pet care experience

I lived in Nicaragua most of my life and always had pets in our home (Pique, Lily 🐶 and 🐱Michi our cat!). I moved from Austin to Philadelphia about a month ago and work from home, so I love having furry company 🙂 I don’t currently have pets, so it’ll just be me and your pup or cat. I only take one guest at a time.

Tamara was so great with our nervous pup! She made him so cozy in her home and sent the cutest updates through the day. She was always ready to pick him up in the morning right when we would drop him off! We used her for multiple days and can’t recommend her enough!

Tamara did a great job taking care of Abbey. It was easy communicating and coordinating with her. We would definitely have Tamara take care of Abbey in the future.

Milo had a great time with Tamara this weekend! Tamara was very communicative and sent pictures/videos throughout the day of how he was doing which I appreciated. He seemed to be enjoying himself and getting lots of time outside. Would definitely board with Tamara again!

Generally, I’d feel nervous leaving my dog with someone; however, as soon as we met Tamara all the nerves went away! Koda had such a great time! She was very communicative throughout and tried sticking to his normal routine. She’s caring, knowledgeable about dogs, and so loving with my Koda. We will certainly be booking with Tamara in the future.

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.
