Small Breeds Come By Play & Stay!

Pet care experience

**** I'm currently offering boarding for small breeds dogs in my home**** Small breeds are a perfect cozy fit for me and my home. Pups up to 25 pounds. Hello my name is Tammy, Welcome family and furry friends to come. Please take a moment to read about the care I offer to your faithful companion when you need outstanding care, and 5-star treatment, and of course some respite for your soul. I've been an avid dog lover for ever and a day! Semi-retired professional who spends my spare time loving and caring for family and friends fur-babies. I'm honored they chose me to spoil their pets whether it be in my home or theirs. I'm humbled to say they call me Auntie T. and their "dog whisperer." I bring over 20 years of pet sitting both young, geriatric with experience in administering all medications as needed. I will provide lots of opportunities for exercise, socialization or just warm cuddles and massages, whatever your fur-baby requires. I will provide your dog with the best stay-cation around. There is absolutely never a need for your pet companion to ever spend anytime in a kennel when they can enjoy their own private concierge "home away from home" It's always pawty-time with Auntie. I'm always here to give a helping hand. Play & Stay Services: I specialize in small breed pets, I prefer to host one pup at a time, it's my personal favorite as I'm able to provide all my attention and lovin" your pup deserves, especially while his/her masters are away, but there may be an occasion when I have two boardings, I will always maintain transparency with my customers regarding another pup in my care. I know it's not easy leaving your dog with someone new, however I pride myself on being reliable and trustworthy so you can have an amazing, stress free time away. Believe me we will have a pup-tastic time together, while keeping your pooch active, stimulated and happy. I'm dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment. Pet Sitting in your home: I have over 12 years experience pet & house sitting for countless clients, friends & family members. I'm available for short or long term stays in your home. I do understand some pups are more comfortable in their own environment and surroundings with the extra bonus of having your home cared for! A typical In your home Play & Stay is usually a 24/7 visit in your home, the experience is always fun, energetic and flexible, but I always follow the guidelines of the the puppy parent and your expectations depending on your requested service. My number #1 GOAL is to give your pooch the love, fun-filled days, enjoying socialization, smooches, licks and time he deserves in the safety and structured environment of his own home as pup parents enjoy their stress free vacation away! - Feeding preferences of course are always the pup's parents guide- feedings per day are typically served 2-3 times per day but always happy to accommodate your individual special requests. -Social hour is typically all day...unless a leave for a few hours to run errands -Play time is a minimum of 3-4 hours whether it be walks, tennis balls, frisbie or beach and trail excursions. We want to get those paws moving. In addition to stellar care, I offer complimentary pick-up and drop-off to and from your home-I know first hand how much time, cost and effort go into planning a vacation, let the anxiety wash away knowing your loved one is wonderfully cared for. I'm your girl! Rest assured YOU will have peace of mind while your away. I look forward to scheduling our first meet and greet. :) Tails will be waggin! Let's make some memories. I hope you take a moment to browse through my photos and meet a few of my current nieces and nephews. They are just precious. As an added bonus I am Insured and Bonded. I hope to be your faithful companions' Pet Concierge Nanny soon. Pup kisses and love I can provide references from long time clients and friends and family as needed. Before Booking: I would love to chat with you to make sure your dog's needs and your expectations are 100% being met. I would like to know as much as possible about your dogs likes, dislikes, personality, routines, safety issues, food preferences, medications, allergies, any other special needs. Plus the do's and don'ts LOL

Our first time leaving our furbabies with a sitter and we are ecstatic how happy and cared for they were with Tammy. Exceptional care and love she provided to them which eased our concerns immediately. I highly recommend Tammy to any Rover customers on the area. Their pups are in excellent hands. Hope to hire Tammy again in the future, she's the BEST!

Tammy was absolutely amazing when she watched our dog, Juniper. She was compassionate, flexible, and communicated with us constantly while we were away, especially updating us with pictures of Juniper! She took care of Juniper as if she was her pet. During the meet & greet, Tammy asked us thorough questions to ensure that she was taking the absolute best care of Juniper. Our dog can be nervous around new people but immediately bonded with Tammy, which goes to show how truly sweet she was. We would highly recommend Tammy to absolutely anyone who was looking for a dog sitter. 10/10!!

Tammy is great, even got our shy girl comfortable enough to come out and play. She was there on time and was accommodating to a schedule change. Very communicative, had no worries whatsoever while away. Would have Tammy back, and Bell would be glad to see her I’m sure.

Tammy’s love of animals is the first thing you and your pets will notice. Her attentiveness to our dog, Chica won her over completely. We knew Chica always felt safe and loved, it was evident by the way Chica was always so happy to see Tammy each time she returned. Tammy always went the extra mile bringing Chica treats, special meals, long walks, playing catch and lots of snuggling. And there were always lots of pictures of their fun days together to reassure us and brighten our days away. Tammy has a gift with pets and will love and care for them dependably so that you will have complete confidence and comfort that your beloved pet is happy, safe and well cared for while you are away.

Safety, trust & environment

During your Pups Play & Stay: Your pup will have his own bed or sleep in mine if that's okay with his/her parents, all pets are allowed on my furniture....I do have an extra crate if needed, if pups are not comfortable in a crate, they will always be within eyesight ( since my home is small and cozy). I realize many dogs don't act the same way in a new environment when left alone as they would in their own homes, but rest assured your pup will be loved and comforted always, my top priority is their safety. Please bring lots of toys and special blankets for comfort. I bake homemade pumpkin doggy treats if allowed they are absolutely yummy. In addition to boarding in my home (small breeds only) I also offer pet-sitting in the comfort of your home 24/7.

Information Tammy P. would like to know about your pet

Our Meet & Greet Session: To continue with my safety protocol, it's equally important that all vaccinations are up to date. During our meet and greet, I will take the opportunity to collect pertinent information important to your pets needs and circumstances, are they anxious around other dogs, do they enjoy car rides, any medications, current personality traits, avoiding ears, paw handling, food allergies, favorite treats, beds, etc. Any additional concerns are crucial to a safe and happy pet, guaranteeing a splendid experience. Once your reservation has been accepted, I require that you bring a copy of your fur pups current vaccinations & Vet contact information as well as family or friends emergency contact. This is one of many ways I ensure that my doggy companions return home to their parents just as happy and healthy as they arrived. I strive to make all my wonderful doggy parents and their beloved fur babies enjoy a sense of peace knowing they are in the best of hands. Content Pups & Stress-free parents is my ultimate goal! I appreciate your visit and taking the time to learn about me, I welcome the opportunity to love & care for your precious furry companion. Until we meet again. Happy Tails!

A typical day

Your pets will always be leashed, they will enjoy daily walks around different neighborhoods, trail walks and car and beach adventures, your pups will have free rein over my home while we are home-if you have their own special beds or crates please bring them along, otherwise cuddles are what we do best!
