I am available evenings and weekends for house/petsitting. I am a graduate student so have classes/work during the day from 8:30-4:30. With my schedule I will care for/walk/feed your pets in the morning before I go to work and in the evening when I get home. However, my schedule is somewhat flexible and I can check in on your pets during the day if needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I will take your dog on a multitude of potty breaks and give at least two solid walks during the day for overnight care. I will follow any specific instructions to a t, as I am very detail oriented. My home is an apartment which does not have a fenced in yard, however I would be able to take your pet for frequent walks. I also have a dog in my home which is friendly to other dogs and cats.

Information Tamara R. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet need to be with someone throughout the day or only at certain times? Let me know how comfortable your dog is with other dogs/people/pets and if there is anything I should be aware of concerning their response to other animals. Let me know any special preferences your dog has.

A typical day

I love getting active and being outdoors so would be happy to take your dog on hikes or runs especially if they are high energy. I love going to the beach or checking out different parks in town. If your dog is very social I would love to take them to the dog park. I usually wake up early and do an outdoor activity (which your pet would join me on). I like to relax in the afternoons after work and typically go to sleep early.

Wildlife biologist and pet lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of a wide range of animals, including my own cats and dogs. I am happy to take care of dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I will provide the highest level of care and tailor my care to meet your pet’s needs. I love going for runs and hikes so would be happy to give your dog an energizing workout. If your pet is nervous or shy I am very patient and will make sure they are comfortable. I have always loved all animals, so much so that I became a wildlife biologist and have studied/worked with everything from birds to bats to desert tortoises and other reptiles. I currently live with an especially cute dog who I care for whenever I am needed. I so look forward to taking care of your treasured pets and will treat them as my own

Tamara was great with the dogs. Communication was easy and quick. Sent pictures of the dogs. When we got home, you could tell the dogs were looking for her. Awesome job!

Tamara did such a great job with our two dogs. We loved getting all the updates and pictures. We would for sure have her watch them again.

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.
