Paws Down, the Best Care in Town

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover my whole life — the kind who ran after chickens just trying to give them a hug (true story, and yes, I have the scar to prove it!). Caring for pets has always come naturally to me, whether my own or my friends’. After too many disappointing experiences leaving my own dog at pet hotels, I knew there had to be a better way. That’s why I started this business: to give pet parents peace of mind and to give their fur babies the love, comfort, and care they deserve — just like they’re part of the family.

Tammy has been an absolute joy to have around my dog. Sparky can be very reluctant with people and Tammy has gone the extra mile to earn his trust and make him feel comfortable. She even gives my cats love and treats after his walks. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pets.

Tammy was fantastic with walking our dog. She was so kind, intuitive, prompt for every walk and went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable. We highly recommend Tammy.👍

I recommend Tammy 200%. After doing a meet and greet forb10 min we knew that he woukd be in good hands. While our dog was there she was very comunicative. Sent pictures, informed about how he was doing with very well with details. When we picked up our dog he was so happy like home. Tammy is very responsible and a dog lover and caring. Thanks

Tammy (and her family) were the most loving, professional and amazing dog lovers we have ever met! We received pictures and updates at least twice a day. The most important thing to us was that our dogs were never locked up - they were able to roam freely and they felt right at home. We are so blessed to have met Tammy and we will certainly be repeat clients!

Safety, trust & environment

When your dog stays with us, they’re treated like family — because they are! At my home, dogs are never caged. They’re free to roam, play, nap, and enjoy constant love and attention. That’s why I only welcome well-trained pups — so everyone stays safe, happy, and relaxed. As a personal trainer who works from home, I have the time, flexibility, and lots of energy to care for your pet the way you would. Whether your dog stays with us or I care for them in your home, I make sure they get plenty of playtime, long walks, fresh food, and loads of cuddles (my kids are cuddle pros!). I can even drop your dog off right before you get back, so they’re there to greet you with a wagging tail and a happy heart. Your pet deserves more than just “care” — they deserve joy, comfort, and a whole lot of love. That’s what we offer.

Information Tammy C. would like to know about your pet

I always ask If the dog is comfortable around children and other dogs. (As I do have two mini dog lovers at home and my very own furry baby, Masha). Also I need to know if the dog is trained, since at my house they are free to walk around at all times.

A typical day

There’s a big dog park around my house and there’s where the dogs love to go the most. They are free to run and explore all around. I also take long walks since it’s part of my own exercise routine and for high energy dogs, the more the exercise, the happier.

Hi! I work from home, which means I have the flexibility — and the energy — to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. Long walks? Bring them on. Holiday care? I’ve got you covered. I’ve always loved animals (I once tried to hug a chicken as a kid — still have the scar!) and now I’ve turned that lifelong passion into a business. We’re a true animal-loving family — my kids adore pets and are incredibly gentle and natural with them. We believe pets should feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. That’s why we welcome them like one of our own and make sure you return to a happy, healthy fur baby — not a stressed-out one. With us, your pet has a home away from home.
