There when you can’t be. 🥰

I’ve been a long time caregiver of many animals, not only my own but also for friends and family. I’d be happy to keep your pets happy and safe during your time away or walk and spoil them when you‘re home but need an extra hand.

Tamara accepted the last moment visit to my cat while I was in the hospital, letting me know she was well and feeding her. She thought of many extras.

My dogs love Tamara! Having her care for my dogs when I’m gone gives me peace of mind. Best sitter ever.

Tamara was just the best! All three of our dogs warmed up to her right away and we knew that was a great start. She took wonderful care of all of them and gave them lots of love, treats, and attention over the week. She sent us lots of pictures which was really great too. We will definitely book future visits with her.

Schedule

I’m currently working an accommodating part time position at our local bowling alley so I have open availability. Please allow plenty of time before your request to have a meeting to see if I’d be a good fit for your family. I generally ask for two weeks in case I need to do more than one meeting before the scheduled visits.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Tamara can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your dog is an escape artist, food aggressive toward your other animals or has any special needs that need to be addressed. I’d like to know their favorite activities and also their least favorite.
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.
