Dog Lover with Rescue Experience
Pet care experience
*UPDATE* Mid July 2023 I adopted a dog! The sweetest border collie/shepherd mix. He was rescued off a Sask reservation. Unfortunately this means my services are very limited until I buy my own place and can board on a limited basis IF you want to explore housesitting and have a friendly non reactive dog, happy to meet and see if bringing my dog is an option. We think he was attacked so can be timid especially around certain dogs but is otherwise very good with dogs, cats etc. Fees would be reduced to $30/ night instead of $45. Growing up on a farm and with tough times, my German Shepherd was my best friend. Dogs have and will always have a special place in my heart! I worked in a shelter as care giver and as an animal cruelty investigator. I was also a foster coordinator for Big Heart rescue, where fostered elderly dogs (hospice) with special needs and was also a foster coordinator. I also have experience looking after farm animals: horses, chickens, goats, sheep and more! I will happily take your dog on hiking adventures, walks or runs! But also really enjoy giving your beloved pet(s) a lot of love. My job as a run and strength coach allows me to be flexible and provide excellent care! I am mature, responsible, clean, and reliable. My priority is to keep your pets safe, happy, loved, healthy. Your home safe and secure. Safety consciousness is high. My goal is to make sure your pets will feel secure, reassured, cared for, and excited to spend a few days with their friend. Your place will be kept clean and respected. Plants watered, mail, whatever you need. I keep to myself and am a mature, quiet person.
Reviews
Tammy was awesome. She was very communicative. I gave her lots of instructions about her pups and she very much welcomed that. And I loved all the photos she sent of the dogs while we were away. We are hoping Tammy is available next time we need a dog sitter.
Tammy is fantastic and Nico loved her! ?
Tammy was great to work with: Easy communicator, friendly human, and a lover of dogs. :-) We would definitely work with her again.
Tammy was wonderful. I hope she is available each time we go away!

Safety, trust & environment
I am very safety oriented! Unless you are extremely confident and specifically ask, I always keep dogs on leash. I also am diligent on checking on any behavior or physical changes. Keeping your dog safe and happy is priority.
Information Tammy K. would like to know about your pet
Would like to know if there are any medical conditions, habits, amount of exercise used to, do they like trails? Car rides? Do you like pictures and updates? Possible aggression (ie towards other dogs) etc.
A typical day
We will go for walks close or hit the trails for hiking or running! Lots of love and attention,and play depending on your dog's needs and wants. Think I love this as much as they do! :)

Tammy can watch in your home
Availability
I currently coach classes part time both in person and online. Please note ** Through October I am scheduled to do an overnight shift Friday night until Saturday mornings until approximately 8am. It is in Ainsworth and there are options if the one night is not feasible - I can head there after dinner for a couple hours, stay at your place and go back in the morning for the 2hrs of work for example. Or depending on your dog, happy to car or tent camp and make it an adventure! There are options on the property. Just wanted to be upfront about this. But again, they said I could always close the lodge up and head back in the morning. There are great hiking and walking areas and can certainly bring your pup along for that.
