I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with the attention and care they need. For boarding, I'm able to plan my day around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and your pet's normal routine. I'm also available throughout the week and on weekends.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet friendly apartment with an enclosed patio where pets can safely get some fresh air and relax. My community also has an on site fenced dog playground for supervised play and exercise, and I’m conveniently located near Shelby Farms trails and park for walks and outdoor time. Inside my home, pets are welcome to get comfortable and make themselves at home. I always follow each pet parent’s routine, feeding instructions, and safety preferences, and pets can be crated if requested. I have a friendly cat of my own who will remain comfortably in a separate room during boarding stays, giving your pet their own space to relax and settle in. 🐾

Information Tamya D. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know about your pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, potty habits, energy level, and favorite activities. Please let me know about any medications, allergies, health concerns, anxiety, triggers, escape behaviors, or special needs. I’d also like to know how they behave around other animals and people so I can make their stay as safe and comfortable as possible.

A typical day

A typical day will be based around your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home. We’ll have plenty of potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and enrichment throughout the day. For dogs who enjoy being active, we can take walks around my community, visit the fenced dog area, or explore the nearby Shelby Farms trails. I’m also happy to have a relaxed day with pets who prefer lounging and extra attention. 🐾

Pets

Educated Care With Lots of Love 🐾

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve dedicated both my education and experience to caring for them. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Care and Behavior and I’m currently continuing my education in veterinary medicine. I also have hands on experience working with animals in professional boarding and daycare settings, along with several years of animal shelter volunteering. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different breeds, ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My education in animal behavior has taught me the importance of understanding each pet as an individual, recognizing their body language, respecting their boundaries, and keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax, I’ll adjust their care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is for every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, and at home while their family is away. 🐾💕

I would highly recommend Tamya for pet sitting or boarding. She’s responsible, communicative, and takes caring for animals seriously. She makes sure pets get their meals, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention. I’d feel confident knowing my pet was safe and comfortable with her while I was away.

If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals, Mya is your girl! I’ve always known her to be incredibly caring and patient with pets. She pays attention to the little things and treats animals with so much love. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pets with her, and I know they’d be spoiled with attention the whole time. 🐾

Mya is wonderful with dogs! She’s patient, caring, and pays attention to their individual personalities and needs. She has plenty of hands-on experience with animals, and it really shows in how comfortable pets are around her. I would feel completely at ease leaving my dog in her care.
