Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in client's home only, following all the directions from pet owners on how to care for their animals. All my belongings are kept in safe places where the pets can't swallow anything or hurt themselves. I make sure there is emergency contact information available including a pet hospital, if I were to need it.

Information Tammy G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any rules and routines you want me to keep. Medication schedules, allergies, and emergency information. I want to care for your pet like you do.

A typical day

Depending on the Pet’s normal routine, I will take pets on the number of walks suggested by the pet owner. I like playing ball or running with dogs outside. It’s good exercise and they love it! Play time and cuddles are incorporated throughout the day/night.

Care and Cuddles

Pet care experience

I’ve done over 60 sits since Jan ‘25. During this time, I’ve cared for many special needs dogs with health and anxiety issues, as well as all kinds of cats. I have a calm demeanor and patience while pets take time to feel safe around me. I tune into their behaviors to help me understand what they need. I’m attentive and love to cuddle and play.

We had an amazing experience with our Rover sitter watching our 3 kitties while we were away. She was incredibly attentive, kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, and really helped ease our anxiety about being away from home. Our cats were well cared for, and we came home to a clean and well maintained place, which we truly appreciated after traveling. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and goes above and beyond to make both the animals and owners feel comfortable. We would absolutely book with her again and she will definitely be our go to sitter moving forward. Highly recommend!

Tammy provided pet sitting (two visits a day) for my two cats while I was on a three-week vacation. She provided prompt updates and was really sweet with the cats, which was a relief because one has medical needs (daily oral meds). Would hire Tammy again! Thank you so much, Tammy 😊

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
