Pet care experience
I've had a dog of my own for 8+ years. He is getting older, and would love a playmate. Taking care of him has been such a true gift. Now, I'd enjoy the chance to love on someone else's pet too. I'm very active and enjoy playtime in my fenced backyard. There is also a large park with trail for walking in my neighborhood.
Reviews
Great communication, easy pickup and drop off.
Very pleased with the care Tammy gave our dog. He’s an old dog, yet alert and friendly. She accommodated his personal needs and worked with his limitations. He came home happy ..
When my dogsitter cancelled at the last minute before my trip out of the country, I became so anxious and had to go into 'scramble mode'. I had never used Rover before but several of my co-workers at the Humane Society of the US recommended it. Nugget is blind and, according to my son, I coddle him too much (which is true) so of course I was really nervous about leaving him with a stranger. Tammy's profile checked all of my boxes: fenced yard, dogs are not crated, she works from home and she has another dog. She looked like the perfect fit....and she was! Her dog, Archie, took on a protective role with Nugget, as if he instinctively knew that Nugget was a 'special-needs' guy and her daughter became his immediate snuggle buddy. Tammy communicated several times each day, sending pictures, videos and reassurances that my baby was doing just fine. I have other trips planned and will definitely use Tammy if she's willing to take Nugget again.
First and foremost- Tammy is amazing! I almost don’t want to write this stellar review because I know that few Rover sitters in this area could ever compare to Tammy. I do want to share the details of our dog’s stay with her l, as he is not an easy keeper, and she is an amazing sitter. First, I explained to Tammy that our dog is deaf and blind when requesting the stay, and that he does need extra attention. I LOVED that she asked quickly to do a meet and greet- we also Rover sit and this is absolutely crucial for us. We met up with Tammy and her sweet doggie Archie at a park near her home- which I always love as an owner’s dog doesn’t have the same level of protection. I had some concerns about Archie being a bigger dog and Wally being an 11lb blind and deaf dude, but Archie is the sweetest. He sniffed and showed ZERO signs of aggression or even pushiness with our dog. We discussed all of our dogs needs, food, etc. and left the meet and greet feeling thankful to have met them. At drop off, we went over the rest of the details and Archie was so cute walking with our Wally through the house. Tammy keeps a super clean home and she even had extra beds and pillows out for Wally. During our dog’s stay, it was rainy on night one which meant he woke up needing to go to the bathroom RIGHT AWAY before the rain came. Unfortunately, that meant around 4am- which Tammy handled graciously and re-tucked him back in afterwards. Throughout our stay, she sent pictures, videos and updates- she LOVED our dog even when he can be difficult. She also had great cuddle nights where Wally and her dog Archie were happy to hang out. We are so thankful and look forward to booking with her again. Thank you, Tammy!
