Pet care experience

Hello, I’m Tammy! I’m proud to share that I’ve officially surpassed one year as a Rover pet sitter, and it has been such a rewarding journey. I’ve truly enjoyed caring for so many different dog breeds, getting to know their unique personalities, quirks, and characteristics. One of the most meaningful parts of this experience has been building lasting relationships with pet parents and becoming someone they can trust. I bring years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. I have a background in obedience training and am especially passionate about providing gentle, compassionate care for senior dogs. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m always happy to work with you to provide the best care possible. Creating a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment is incredibly important to me. I have a fully fenced back yard with a 6 ft privacy fence. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is not only safe in my care, but also genuinely loved as if they were my own. I take one pet family at a time so I can provide individualized care A big part of my heart will always belong to my dog, Amazing Grace. She was a rescue from Louisiana who had endured severe abuse. I first saw her story on Fox 9 News, and out of hundreds of applicants, I was incredibly fortunate to be chosen to adopt her. Grace was the sweetest soul and brought so much joy into my life every single day. Grace’s story continues to inspire the way I care for every dog I meet—with patience, empathy, and unconditional love.

Girls are so happy to see Tammy and love her place..I have a really hard time leaving them and it is a comfort to know they are happy and well cared for and to be in a safe fenced area to play! So comforting!

Awesome experience from start to finish. Couldn’t be happier. Tammy and John took such good care of our dog. We received multiple daily updates. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was getting lots of love and attention.

Trigger had a fabulous time! We felt so good being away knowing he was being cared for in such a good home with Tammy. You can see how much Tammy and John love dogs and they truly put your pet first. Thank you for taking such good care of Trigger. The pictures and communication was great!!!

Tammy and John will always be my first choice for boarding. My dog, Luna, truly loves it there and I know she is safe, loved and happy during her stay.

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.
