Pet care experience

Friendly, Dog loving Couple

Hi, we are Tamara &Mike! We have experience caring for dogs large and small, some of the breeds I have cared for include German Shepards, Pit Bulls, Dobermans, and mixed breeds. We've aided in the rescue and rehabilitation of abused animals, and have a huge capacity to lend emotional support. We are able to give attention to hyper-active dogs. We have experience with territorial dogs and currently house two rescue dogs (Berneese Mountain Dog &Havaneese). We understand the unique dietary restrictions that dogs have, can administer medication successfully to special needs dogs and have experience with geriatric dogs. We are knowledgeable of dog friendly places in the Inland Empire area, we are punctual and respectful of peoples time. We treat animals as humans and are very respectful to them, Tamara likes sing to dogs to help them feel comfortable around her, we feel all dogs deserve unconditional love and affection. Thanks for taking the time to consider us, and hope to book your pups soon :)

I cannot recommend this sitter. A scheduled visit did not occur, and the sitter’s partner later stated the visit was completed despite no Rover check-in, no door access record, and no camera activity. A friend went immediately and confirmed my dog had not been fed or taken out. This was the second reliability issue involving the same person. On a prior booking, the sitter reported oversleeping and did not arrive on time, and I had to arrange alternate care. Due to these trust and reliability concerns, I canceled the remaining bookings and would not book again

Dakota was well cared for during visits, and the sitter stayed the full 30 minutes even when arriving a few minutes late. There were some hiccups in the beginning but has been consistent afterwards.

Second week of having Mike and Tamara drop in and couldn’t be happier with the time and effort to making sure my boy is taken care of!

Tamara and Mike were absolutely amazing! I scheduled them for drop in visits during the day for my large senior dog and they were wonderful! My dog usually greets me at the door very energetic and impatient and now coming home after they have taken care of him he is so calm and so content. Even though it’s only an hour drop in they are so good at giving updates throughout the visit I would highly recommend booking with them!

Tamara has watched my dogs a few times and has done an outstanding job. I don't have to worry when I go out of town because she is very reliable and I know my girls are in great hands. She texts me with updates and sends pictures. Couldn't be more pleased with the job she has done. I highly recommend Tamara!

Tamara watched my dogs for one week at my house while I was away on vacation. Both of my dogs are rescues and extremely nervous around other people. Tamara was very patient and understanding of their needs. By the time I came back from my trip, they fully trusted her! You can tell that she truly loves animals. I would recommend Tamara to anyone. She did an amazing job watching my dogs and taking care of my house.
