Safety, trust & environment

I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel secure and happy.

Reliable Dog Sitter & Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Currently, I have a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix and a 4-month-old Jack Russell Terrier. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Beagles, Pit Bulls, Jack Russells, Labradors, and Schnauzers, and at one point had as many as six dogs. I’ve also owned a cat and have experience caring for cats as well. Friends frequently trust me to pet sit for them, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I also am a Volunteer Dog walker and caregiver at Columbia Animal Shelter. I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away.

What truly sets Tamera apart is how loving and attentive she is with the animals. Our dogs light up when they see her, despite the fact that one of our pups is people reactive. He is the true testimonial of Tamera’s care! She treats every pet like her own, with patience, affection, and genuine care. We recommend her without hesitation to any pet owner looking for trustworthy, engaging, and compassionate care!

Tamera J. is the best pet owner and pet caregiver I know. She goes above and beyond to ensure every fur baby in her care feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, she treats every pet as if it were her own. Animals naturally gravitate toward her, and their excitement when they see her speaks volumes about the trust and bond she builds with them. I have personally watched Tamera care for a litter of puppies while also managing the needs of her own dogs, and every animal received individual attention, affection, and excellent care. Her patience, reliability, and genuine passion for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. I would trust her with my pets without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate and dependable pet care.

I have lived with Tamera to know first hand how she treats her animals and others. She is kind, playful, and patient with all dogs. I have seen her around calm dogs, and energetic and her loving nature stays constant

I cannot say enough good things about her. She is someone I truly trust with my dog, Beau and that means everything to me. From the beginning, she has been patient, kind, caring, and attentive to his needs. She has a calm and trustworthy presence, which gives me complete peace of mind knowing Beau is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Finding someone you can genuinely trust with your pet is not easy, but she is exactly the kind of person you hope to find. She treats Beau with love, patience, and care, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a someone dependable, compassionate, and responsible.
