Tammy is awesome! If you want a pet sitter who will provide expert, affectionate, great, skilled care for your pet, Tammy is the person for you. Tammy was so hands on and gentle with my special needs senior dog at the meet-and-greet, and then during my vacation while Tammy was at my house, she texted me regularly and included reassuring details about my dog's happy, peaceful demeanor as Tammy cuddled with, comforted and cared for my dog. I can't say enough good things about Tammy and what a great pet sitter she is. I highly, highly, highly recommend Tammy! I had a wonderful vacation because I knew that my senior dog was in wonderful hands with Tammy.

I am so very grateful that I found Tammy on rover.com because she is the perfect pet sitter. I highly recommend her!!! She was affectionate and gentle as she cared for my 15-year-old special needs dog. I felt 100% comfortable with Tammy caring for my dog while I was away on vacation. Tammy has decades of excellent experience with dogs and cats, and she herself is 100% reliable, trustworthy, skilled at problem solving, and has a great understanding of pet behavior, needs, nutrition, meds, etc. Tammy provided frequent texts and detailed reports on my dog's behavior, and she even helped my husband's aunt pull weeds out in our yard. Tammy goes above and beyond the call of duty and exceeded my expectations. I recommend that you make Tammy your first choice when looking for a great pet sitter. I'm sure you will be delighted with Tammy's wonderful care for your precious pet.

I have known Tammy for nearly 20 years. She is passionate about her family and her pets! When she visits me my cat naturally gravitates to her the minute she arrives. We both share a love for cats although she also loves dogs. We have spent many days visiting the cat shelter in Fairfax where she is so compassionate for cats of all ages, gravitating to giving the more feeble cats lots of love. Tammy would care for other peoples pets as she does for her own. She is responsible, caring, compassionate and definitely a pet person! Highly recommended!

Tammy would be a wonderful caregiver for any pet. I have known her for 25 years. As a pet owner herself she takes excellent care of all pets and she is a loving owner to cats and dogs. I would feel lucky if she took care of my animals. We love our pets and she would be a perfect choice for this new adventure in her career. Tammy M
