Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Sitter Available!

I have lifelong experience caring for animals of all kinds! I grew up on a farm, where caring for horses, livestock, and other animals was simply part of everyday life. Today, I continue that passion by fostering dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens through my local humane society, giving animals a safe, loving place to grow and thrive until they find their forever homes. I also have experience caring for small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits, so whether your family includes four hooves, four paws, or tiny whiskers, they'll be in capable hands. As a teacher, I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to routines and individual needs, and I know every animal has its own personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra care, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax while you're away.

Tamra was great with my kitty who is not very social. I was nervous that Punkin would be afraid and hide while I was away, but she took to Tamra and her home right away. I received a picture text within 5 mins of leaving her all snuggled and settled in! Tamra sent me pictures of Punkin throughout her 4 day, 3 night stay which put me at ease. I would definitely use here again.

We had such a wonderful experience with Tamra! She took amazing care of our horses and cattle while we were away, including feeding and administering medications, and we came home to happy, well-cared-for animals. She was dependable, attentive, and clearly went above and beyond. We would absolutely trust Tamra with our animals again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible sitter!

Tamra kept my large GSD in her home for a week and took great care of him! He’s a sweet guy but set in his ways so one never knows how he will respond to a new situation…but it was obvious immediately that he felt comfortable with her and was well cared for: long walks, play dates with dog friends, lots of social interaction. I would 100% recommend Tamra!

Tamra is truly a responsible and loving pet caregiver, and I couldn’t ask for anyone better to look after my precious Lola. She treats Lola with the same care and attention that I do, always making sure she feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I wouldn’t trust just anyone with her, but Tamra consistently goes above and beyond — whether it’s keeping Lola’s routine steady, giving her extra affection, or paying attention to the small details that matter. Knowing Lola is with Tamra gives me complete peace of mind because she cares for her like family.

Tamra was the foster mom to my kitten and many kittens before. She is the best pet care taker. She loves your animals like they are her own, and will do anything to make them and you feel comfortable. I highly recommend Tamra!

Having Tamra care for our dog, cat, home, yard, and garden while we were away for two weeks gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely cared about our animals and wanted them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while we were gone. She was incredibly flexible, easy to get ahold of, and always willing to work with our pets’ routines and needs. We loved receiving updates and knowing that our furry family members were getting plenty of attention and care. Tamra went above and beyond by not only caring for our pets but also keeping our home and garden looking wonderful. We came home to happy animals and everything exactly as we hoped it would be. We would feel completely comfortable trusting Tamra with our pets and home again.

Schedule

My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making animal care a natural part of my daily routine and ensuring each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, attentive care in a calm, loving environment. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you'll always know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

A typical day

A typical day with your pet will be filled with care, enrichment, and plenty of attention tailored to their personality. We might start with a walk, outdoor time, or some playtime before enjoying meals and a comfortable routine. Throughout the day, I love providing activities like games, training practice, puzzle toys, cuddles, brushing, exploring new smells outside, or simply keeping them company while they relax. For cats and smaller pets, that may include interactive play, enrichment activities, and creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe. My goal is to make their time away from you feel fun, engaging, and full of the same love and routine they are used to at home.

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their individual needs and routine. Important details include their feeding schedule, personality, favorite activities, comfort items, exercise needs, medications, quirks, and anything that helps them feel safe and happy. Knowing what makes your pet unique allows me to provide the same level of care, consistency, and attention they receive from you at home.
