Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in backyard with a dog door that can be opened or closed. I do have my sweet grandpup (who was a foster) a couple of times a week and is used to all dogs and cats. We go to Woodstock Dog Park, so she has others to play with. I have one large crate and one med crate. I only crate if I'm out running errands and if your pet needs to be crated for safety and security reasons. Our family dog loved to lie in his crate while we were gone or he was napping with the door open, so I know that some pets feel safer with an open door crate. I will discuss with you and your preferences. My grandpup does not use a crate anymore at anytime but she is now three.

Information Tammy A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My preference is for pets that get along with others and enjoy playing with other animals. If that's not the case for your pet please let me know so that I can make sure he/she is the only pet for their stay with me.

A typical day

I love to walk, so we will be taking several walks around my neighborhood or a local park. If allowed we visit the local dog park at Woodstock Park, plenty of exercise whether walking or throwing the ball.

I'll luv your fur babies as my own

Pet care experience

About Me I have a deep love for animals and years of experience caring for them. After losing our family dog of 15 years, I spent two years fostering pets. While I’ve chosen not to commit to a permanent pet due to future retirement plans, I still enjoy providing a loving and safe environment for animals through short-term fostering and pet sitting. I also care for my son’s dog on weekends, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. What I Offer When your pet stays with me, they’ll enjoy: A spacious, secure backyard with a doggie door for easy indoor/outdoor access Cozy pet beds and a variety of chew toys A treat jar (with your approval—no rawhide) Plenty of love, attention, and playtime Your pet’s happiness is my priority! Have worry-free travel and peace of mind knowing your furry baby is in caring hands.

Tammy is great! She took great care of our pup over Thanksgiving. She listened to what meds our pup needed and what makes him comfortable/not comfortable. I left for our trip knowing our pup was in good hands.
