Pet care experience

Loving and compassionate veterinary

My previous pet care experience has been diverse, involving both dogs and cats. I’ve cared for pets from puppies and kittens to senior animals, each with their own needs and personalities. With dogs, I managed daily walks, training sessions, and regular grooming to ensure they were healthy and well-behaved. For cats, I focused on creating a comfortable environment, balancing playtime with quiet moments, and maintaining a clean litter box. I also handled feeding schedules, administered medications when necessary, and made sure all pets had regular vet visits. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and the deep rewards of nurturing another living being.

House Sitting • Jan 01, 2025

We absolutely could not be happier with Tamika. Her communication, professionalism and flexibility when working with my husband and I—both before and during our trip—was incredibly reassuring. Even more importantly, the loving care she showed our high-energy and high-anxiety dog made us feel totally comfortable while we were away. We never worried for a second about our pets while on a stressful family trip due to Tamika’s comprehensive and consistent check-ins, and she went above and beyond to make sure all our pets were not only taken care of, but given the extra care and love that helps so much when routines are disrupted. Tamika was also a tremendous help as we faced some travel uncertainty, communicating and working with us to make sure that both the dog and two cats got everything they needed. We would absolutely trust her for any kind of pet sitting assignment under any circumstances. She also managed to get all the best angles for photos—our little mutt has rarely looked cuter!

Tamika is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond by spending extra time with my cat, which I truly appreciated. Her communication was excellent—she kept me updated throughout her visits and even sent the most adorable photos of my cat that brightened my day. I could tell right away that she is not only trustworthy but also very knowledgeable about animals. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I highly recommend Tamika to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. She’s the best!
