Highlights
Pet care experience
One-on-one care in a loving home
I generally host only one dog at a time so I can provide a calm, safe, and personalized environment. Exceptions may be made for dogs from the same family or dogs I already know get along well together. I’ve spent my whole life caring for dogs of all kinds, from shepherds and collies to pom-pitz mixes and mutts, and I’m comfortable with everything from easygoing pups to reactive or anxious dogs. I can walk, bathe, and give medications, and I’ll follow your feeding, medication, or supplement schedule exactly as you do at home. I host dogs in my quiet home on the edge of town, where they have a fenced yard, no other pets, and plenty of peace. Being retired means your dog gets my full attention: one long walk each day and playtime in the yard throughout the day. I’m not a match for very large or aggressive dogs, but for small to medium dogs who need steady care and a calm environment, I’m all in.

Ratings and reviews
Tammy is absolutely amazing. Our dog was so happy after his stay. I would highly recommend her!
Our dog Lenny really enjoyed her stay with Tammy while we were away. Would recommend!
Tammy was incredible for our dog Kuma! Got lots of photos and updates and she even bathed our dog after she rolled in a cow pie. 100% would rebook with Tammy again!
Tammy took great care of Olly while I was out of town. Would recommend to anyone :)
Tammy looked after my dog with a lot of patience and empathy for well over a week, and I came back to a happy pup who had clearly bonded with her. Tammy's patience and empathy went a long way to help him adjust when he struggled very much for the first days with being left in a strange household (he howled and gave her a sleepless night). He got to go for lots of walks, was cuddled his heart's content and indulged in his obsession with all things food-related. Tammy is super conscientious and I really appreciated the daily updates and also her questions to make my dog got the best care. Plus she completely went above and beyond dog sitting by letting me park my car at her place *and* she drove me to the airport and picked me up. Thank you, Tammy!!!
Tammy is awesome! My dog was very distraught when I left him for day care the first time - we live very remotely and he rarely get to hang out with new people, so he became frantic when I left and started howling 😬 But Tammy is so calm, kind and gentle that he eventually settled down and was eager to go back the next day! And didn't freak out again, he happily greeted everybody and turned his attention to food 😅This really proves how she turned his difficult first day into a positive experience for him. I'm leaving him now with her for twelve days of boarding, secure in the knowledge that he is not only well looked after, but cared for with compassion.

Schedule
I'm retired, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home the majority of the time and can give your dog plenty of attention, walks, and consistency. We follow a steady routine with one long daily walk, playtime in the yard, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left waiting or wondering when the next bit of care is coming—they’re part of my daily rhythm.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I keep things calm, consistent, and safe. In my home, dogs have a quiet space with no other pets or children, plus a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I keep doors and gates locked, check collars and harnesses before every walk, and stick closely to your feeding, medication, and routine instructions so your dog feels at home. I monitor dogs closely, avoid risky situations, and make sure they’re never left unsupervised. My goal is simple: a safe environment, a predictable routine, and a trustworthy caretaker your dog can relax with.
A typical day
A typical day is a mix of fresh air and plenty of attention. I start with a longer walk—about an hour and a half to two hours—where we explore the neighbourhood or nearby trails at your dog’s pace. Throughout the day we play in the fenced yard, or just hang out together at home. Evenings are for snuggles and gentle play before bedtime. My goal is to give your dog a day that feels familiar, fun, and reassuring.
