Cats! Cats! Cats! Life Long Love!

Pet care experience

Have you booked with an awesome pet sitter who will lovingly care for your pets during your vacation, holiday, or anytime travels? Certification: CPR/First Aid for Pets Certificate: Professional Pet Sitting Member: Pet Sitters International Senior Care/Special Needs/Kitten/Oral and Transdermal Medication Administration Hi, I’m Tamara offering the following service: 🐈‍⬛Cat/Kitten Drop-In Visits - 30 or 60 minute visit option, while you are away, to feed, refresh water, facilitate playtime, conduct a head-to-toe wellness check, and be the scooper of your cats pooper. I think like a cat and will quickly scan the environment looking for potential safety hazards. Read on for additional details: My love affair with animals began in childhood when, at a very young age, my first cat named Bootsie (after Puss ‘n’ Boots) was given to me. I became part of the Rover family in August of 2019, and have enjoyed the privilege of meeting and caring for many cats and dogs since then. It’s so much fun discovering all of their cute little cat and dog personalities. All pets are treated as if they were my own as I fall in love with each and every one of them. Since becoming a Rover sitter, my knowledge has broadened in discovering the best practices to help our pets live long, happy, and healthy lives. Felines, independent, even aloof at times, give the misconception they can be left home alone for long periods of time without someone checking in on them. But cats do get lonely, and when boredom sets in, a curious cat will venture where she has never ventured before. To ensure the safety of your cat, please hire a knowledgeable cat sitter (such as myself) to go to your home and check on kitty at least every 24 hours, or more often if possible. I Do Not Accept every other day visits as this infrequency is never a good idea. As mentioned above, I will feed kitty, following your instructions exactly, refresh water checking beforehand if tap, or bottled, and if using a pet fountain, will check level, adding water as needed. The litter box will be scooped at each visit, important in assessing the health status of your cat, and as much play as time permits. For very young cats that need extra playtime, multiple cat households, special needs and/or medication administration, I recommend booking a 60 minute visit which will greatly benefit your cat. Discounts for the extra $$ a 60 minute visit may cost are negotiable. A digital rover card, which will include a photo, sent at the end of each visit, will summarize visit details and wellness of your pet. However, any issues requiring your immediate attention, or any questions about the care, I will notify you immediately. 🏡 HOUSE SITTING - I use your home as my home base for the duration, staying overnight with your pet(s), leaving during the day only if I am booked for drop in visits. I will walk your dog as many times as you specify, or as your dog’s energy level allows. I will retrieve mail, water plants, and take bins to curb. You will come home to a clean home and a happy pet. Additional Information - Before I accept any booking request, I always meet the pet (s) and their owner first, to make sure it will be a good fit. Keeping your pets Happy and Safe while you are away, is my #1 priority. Currently, I am available to pamper your pets on a full-time basis. Go ahead, plan that Spring vacation and those Summer rendezvous with friends and family. Relax and enjoy with the peace of mind knowing that you have found a caring, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter. Testimonial ( from a long time friend ) “I've known Tamara for about ten years. She is very good with dogs and cats. She walks my "Grand dog" when he's here and he excitedly loves her. She's responsible, punctual, pleasant, clean, careful etc. I wouldn't have any concerns having her in my home. “ Kathryn I am free to pamper your pets from morning until nighttime. When house sitting, your home is my home base 90% of the time and certainly overnight. The other 10% I am traveling short distances to see other pets with visits lengths of 30 or 60 minutes. I limit the number of outside visits depending on the amount of care the pet I am house sitting with needs. In the clients home it’s plain snd simple - I treat each and every pet as if they were my own. Your pets will receive lots of love and attention, and they will be kept out of harms way at all times. Drop in visits I am with the pet for a shorter length of time but the love and attention I give will be no less.

Tammy was great! She is kind, consistent, dependable, and exactly what you need in a pet sitter. Our cats were timid so she made sure to go find and take pictures of them so we knew they were ok. Every daily update was thorough and detailed. Thank you for everything!

Tamara housesat and watched our indoor/outdoor cat for the summer while we were away. She did a wonderful job and was very responsible, organized, communicative, and caring. As it was my first time using Rover, I appreciated her patience as I was learning how everything worked in the beginning, and her willingness to answer all my questions. While we were away, she sent pictures and updates almost daily of our kitty, and let us know if she noticed anything unusual or if she needed clarification on anything. When our cat got a little cut while outdoors one day, she brought him to our vet (after checking with us about what we wanted to do), and took very good care of him afterwards. When we got home from our trip, our house was clean and our kitty was happy, as if we never left. We definitely recommend her and wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.

It’s clear Tamara will care for your pet as if it’s her own. She watched our cat Teddy while we were away for 2 weeks and she did a great job. She made the extra effort to keep our place tidy by sweeping around the litter box and by cleaning his food and water bowls whenever necessary. Unfortunately Teddy wasn’t as social with her as we would have hoped for, but I’m sure he was just stressed from his owners being away for so long. Hopefully over time Teddy with continue to warm up to other people who care for him while we’re away. We would definitely hire Tamara again for future visits.
