Information Tami S. would like to know about your pet

I would prefer one dog to pet sit at my home at a time because I already have my own dog who I know quite well. Adding a second unknown pup will work fine, but I would not want to add a third so I could make sure the pups are both happy.

A typical day

We have a good neighborhood for walks, as well as a fenced in yard for play time. My dog also has lots of toys indoors that he loves to fetch and carry around so I'm sure he will love some tug of war time!

Pet care experience

I have one extremely friendly dog and three tolerant cats, so I clearly love animals, so what's one more?! I grew up with dogs but have had cats for about 25 years now. We just lost our 14-year old golden retriever and recently one of our two 16-year old cats but still have our enthusiastic three-year old Dorkie who is a real player! I also have two older college teens who help with pet care when they are home. It's a team effort over here! I have a nonsmoking home with a fenced-in yard for running around. As a teacher, I am in and out on the weekends and during the summer. During the school year I am usually home by about 3:00.

Tami was an excellent sitter for our pup Murphy. She was easy to communicate with and we can tell that Murphy was well taken care of during his visit!

Tami was great with my Finn! It was a very last minute booking and she was very quick to respond. Finn enjoyed his stay so much with his new friends. We will definitely be using her again!

Happy was very happy with Tami. She treated him like her own dog and I think Happy had a great fun time. As a devoted dog mom all I want is for him to be happy. I definitely want to have Tami take care of Happy again.

Wonderful service! We are so glad Tami was available to take care of our kitties while we were away. I recommend her service as she went above our expectations by sending us updates on how they were doing. Apon arriving all our cats were happy to see us. Seeing how Tami was so friendly we decided to use her service again in the future!
