Dog Mom of an older gentleman

Pet care experience

I've been an animal lover from a very young age and raised my own eighteen year-old sheltie, Cohen, (recently passed 2/6/23) from when he was a puppy. I spent my quarantine days volunteering to walk rescue dogs which led to me falling in love with my second dog, Jackson. He is also a senior and we couldn't be happier together. I have experience with puppies to seniors, both big and small. I'm happy to help with administering medication and any other unique needs your pet may have. My promise to you: -I take time to meet with you and your fur family member beforehand -I read care instructions and ask follow-up questions to confirm -I'll take notes on any additional information you provide -I adapt my care to each client's needs -I promise not to just provide the basics. I absolutely love spending time with any animal and they will be treated as my own during my visits (and mine are very spoiled!). -I LOVE taking photos of pets. I carefully select and edit which photos to send so you'll enjoy looking at them and want to share them with others. Drop-in visits vs. Walks: A drop-in visit includes a walk (for dogs) as well as feedings, administering medications, and possible indoor/yard play. For a walking service I’ll simply leash up your pup, walk for the entirety of the time booked, and drop them off when finished. Consider booking a full hour visit for your longer days away or more energetic pups who need worn out!

Omgosh Tamara is the best! She dealt with my finicky 14 year old mini golden doodle! She knew just what to do to entice her to go for a walk! She’s a natural! I am blessed to have her care and her love for Amber!

Tamara was great with Clarence! I needed a sitter last minute, and she responded promptly. She followed the care instructions so well, and sent me adorable pictures!

I am happy to adapt my walks to your pup's needs. Do they like to slowly sniff or would you prefer I push them to do a bit more higher intensity walks? Let me know and I'll be sure to oblige!

Back when I was working towards my Masters degree while teaching full-time, I used many dog walking/doggie daycare services for my own two boys. I understand the importance in having full trust in the person you choose to leave your family member with. Now that life has slowed down significantly for me, I'm happy to have the opportunity to be that person for others.
