Vet Tech Care: Reliable Drop-Ins
Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom of three with a background as a Registered Veterinary Technician. While I’ve spent time working in a clinical hospital setting, my true passion is providing personalized, one-on-one care through drop-in visits. I understand that your pets are family, and leaving them can be stressful. My goal is to make sure their routine stays exactly as it should be. Because of my professional training, I’m naturally observant of pet behavior and health, giving you an extra layer of security while you’re away. What I offer during drop-ins: • Reliable Routine: Fresh food, water, and potty breaks exactly on schedule. • Medication Support: I am very comfortable administering oral or topical medications if needed. • All-Species Welcome: I have experience with everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to cats, bunnies, and reptiles. • Total Communication: You’ll get detailed updates and photos after every visit so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m highly responsible, punctual, and dedicated to making sure your pets feel loved and safe in their own space!

Ratings and reviews
Tamara did a great job watching my two cats, Scully and Tex. She made sure they were fed and had water, kept everything clean, and stayed on top of the litter box. It was a huge relief knowing they were taken care of, and I came home to happy cats and a clean place. I’d definitely recommend her and would book her again!
Tamara took care of everything I needed with Wrigley.
Tamara was amazing with our two dogs. We got updates every time she checked in on them, and they seemed to do great under her care.
Tamara was very accommodating when it came to house sitting for me. She sent photos and updates everyday. I would recommend her to anyone and I will be using her again in the future.

Schedule
As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very consistent daily routine which allows me to offer highly reliable drop-in windows. I am typically available for morning, midday, and early afternoon visits.

- Before our first visit, it is helpful for me to know: • Behavioral Needs: Does your pet have any "triggers" (like the mail carrier or other dogs walking by), or are they prone to door-bolting? • Medical History: Please share any current health conditions or medication schedules. Even with my veterinary technician background, I want to ensure I’m following your specific vet's protocols. • Home Access: I’ll need clear instructions for entry (key location, alarm codes, or gated access) and where you keep your cleaning supplies, just in case of any accidents. • Dietary Restrictions: Specific details on food portions and where treats are kept, as well as any known allergies. • Pet Personalities: Do they have a favorite toy or a "no-go" spot for pets? Knowing if your pet is shy or high-energy helps me tailor our playtime perfectly!
