Natural Born Pet Care-Taker
Pet care experience
I grew up caring for my family’s Siberian Husky since I was ten years old until I left for college. During high school, I was fortunate enough to be selected for a program called “Animal Science,” where I learned how to take care of all sorts of animals from fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, rodents, rabbits, to cats and dogs. We even groomed many pets for a low cost at the high school! As a teen, I also worked nearly a year at a veterinary clinic specifically for cats. I also cared for my relatives three cats at their home when they went on vacations. I served my country for six years in the US Army and since I couldn’t own a pet during those years, I got my own yellow Labrador puppy when my service was done. I took care of her and learned how to train her using PetSmart’s puppy-owner training services. Sonnie was so smart and I learned a lot. Since then, I have cared for a variety of breeds in all shapes and sizes from tiny a Papillon to German Shepherds. I love dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. I eventually finished a Bachelors degree of Science in Biology with the intention of continuing on to a Veterinary Program. During my journey to finish my degree I was lucky to find a couple that needed to re-home their 6-month Shiba Inu puppy, and I gladly welcomed him into my home as my forever fur-baby. He is now seven human years young and still going strong with me and my two older kids.

Safety, trust & environment
I currently reside at a pet-friendly apartment complex with my Shiba-Inu, “Tune,” new to Pennsylvania. My kids will join me soon. This apartment complex offers a nature walking trail, is joined with a public park and also has its own fenced in dog park. There are plenty of dog waste disposal stations around the complex. Also, there is a Veterinarian clinic/Emergency Veterinarian immediately to the right of the complex entrance. I intend on doing whatever it takes to expand my services as a Professional pet caretaker, including the development of values such as trust and loyalty, to meet the many needs of my clients and their fur-babies.
Information Tamara T. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special, or specific needs or behaviors that I can account for. Please be sure to include any known allergies or dietary needs as well.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We will play games, explore all the new smells around the neighborhood, and check out the large, shaded bark park my complex has to offer.

Availability
Currently, I am available on Weekends and holidays. I am employed Mon-Friday at a hospital until November 15th, 2021. It is a second shift position from 2:30-11:00 pm, so my hours of sleep are slightly different than most. On the weekends and holidays I have the most flexibility.
