Teacher by day pet-sitter by night.

Pet care experience

As a nanny for many years, I have looked after many pets not my own. Since becoming a teacher, I miss walking and caring for animals. I'd like to do that again.

Tamela did a great job taking care of our hounds. We came back to happy dogs who were well taken care of.

Tamela is my sister and roommate, she's a kind, dependable, and gentle soul who loves animals. She helps care for my two dogs on a regular basis, making sure they feel safe and loved, and regularly takes them on walks, just because. She’s the kind of person who thinks about their needs even when she’s out running errands - picking up treats or toys she knows they’ll enjoy. Her calm, nurturing presence puts both pets and people at ease, and her attention to detail makes her incredibly trustworthy. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care!

Safety, trust & environment

I let the client's needs dictate how I provide care for their pets. Every animal is different and each client has different expectations. I strive to meet those needs and exceed those expectations.

Information Tamela R. would like to know about your pet

I would very much like to meet with your dog before I'm responsible for walking or caring for them. I get along with most breeds, but every dog has their own quirks that are best to know going in.

A typical day

I like to hike, swim and walk and would love a buddy for these activities. I'm up for any shenanigans your pup likes to get up to during their day.

I am a teacher, so I have limited time during the week, but am free nights, weekends and during the summer. I can pet sit during the week if you are close to my school (south hill) and only need short, infrequent walks during the school day. Other than that, my schedule is wide open.
