Pet care experience
I am an experienced house/pet sitter and have been house/pet sitting off and on for the past 14 years since living in Vancouver. I have cared for both small and large dogs (and cats). My own dog growing up was a German Shepherd Husky mix so I have more experience personally with medium to larger breeds. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs as well as dogs on medication.
Reviews
Just thinking of leaving my 14 year old Ando made me very worried and uncomfortable. In the past, pre-covid, we left him with a boarding/ daycare but that was not an option with a delicate 14 year old. Then we found Tam! Although we have never tried a house sitting, we felt that it was the best option for an arthritic picky old weim who loves attention all to himself. Tam is calm, confident and very thoughtful. And we could tell that she has taken care of many senior dogs. Even our standoffish Ando surprisingly liked her right away at our meet and greet! During our absence, Tam gave us updates with photos. Also she paid attention to details of Ando's health... those little things only a parent can notice.. she was able to notice small differences in his energy level and behaviour and informed us for further discussion and possible course of action. As Ando just had an UTI and has a few other health issues, these personalized updates were very helpful for me. We would definitely ask Tam to care for Ando again. We feel that she really cared for Ando. We thank Tam so much for the care and love she gave Ando ♥️🙏🏼
Tamu was amazing! One of our dogs started developing Canine Cognitive Disorder a month before our trip and we couldn't cancel our plans at that point. A few days into our trip, our dog had a crises and wouldn't stop vocalizing. Tamu knew exactly what to do and kept us informed every step of the way. She took both dogs to the emergency vet clinic at 2 am, got her treated, came back home, and followed up with a more leisurely visit with our regular vet. She also bought lick mats for the dogs to keep them occupied and trained our older pup (the one with the issues) how to use her Kong to self serve. I will be calling on Tamu whenever we need a sitter and recommending her to everyone I know.
Tam did an amazing job watching our pets. They loved her.
Tamu is a lovely woman and Coco adored her. She’s a great communicator and sent me photos every day. Coco was so sad when she left:). I hope Tamu will have time to come back again soon.

I have experience with house/pet sitting in a variety of spaces, everything from downtown apartments to very large and more remote executive homes.

A typical day
I love taking dogs to explore their surroundings based on what suits their personal routines/schedules best. Short neighbourhood walks, parks to exploring neighbourhood forest spots!
