Exercise, Structure & Loving Care

I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, including active and strong working breeds. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and stress-free environment while making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, basic obedience reinforcement, and handling energetic dogs with patience and consistency. Pet parents can expect dependable communication, regular updates, and someone who genuinely treats their dogs like family.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 09, 2026

Having Tamya provide day care for our Weimaraner MacKenzie was the best decision! We traveled from the DC area to Chicago to visit the new Obama Presidential Library and Center and wanted to ensure she would be in good hands for the several hours we were away. Tamya made planning for MacKenzie very easy and I was impressed with the advanced questionnaire provided so that they could match the needs for her. They got along superbly. Thank you Tamya for caring for our little girl!

Just got home to Ms Kinzie and it seems like she had an absolute blast! I had a very hectic flight back home with many cancellations involved and Tamya and her partner were incredibly accommodating! Though I couldn’t be there for pickup, they made sure everything was ready to go and were super flexible with scheduling so that my friend would be able to come pick her up on my behalf!

I am impressed by how seriously Tamya is taking this job. She gave me a long list of information about Ivy to complete, so that she can get to know her well before the job starts. Tamya also posts photos of Ivy often, so I can see that she is doing well. I highly recommend her.

Schedule

Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine come first. A typical day includes structured walks, playtime, exercise, water breaks, feeding according to your instructions, and plenty of attention. I keep a calm and clean environment while making sure each dog gets the right balance of activity and rest based on their personality and needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m especially comfortable with active and strong breeds, so dogs that need confidence, structure, and engagement are in good hands. Whether your pet needs a relaxed companion, exercise, or consistent care while you’re away, I aim to make the experience stress-free for both you and your dog. You’ll receive updates, photos, and quick responses throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.

A typical day

Your dog’s day will include structured walks, play, engagement, and plenty of attention. I enjoy keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated through games, obedience reinforcement, outdoor time, and calm social interaction. I’m especially comfortable with active and strong breeds, so high-energy dogs will get the exercise, structure, and confidence-building they need while still feeling relaxed and cared for.

Please let me know about your pet’s personality, routines, triggers, medical needs, energy level, and any behaviors I should be aware of beforehand. I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and understood while in my care. I’m experienced with strong and active breeds, puppies, and dogs that need extra structure, patience, or engagement, and I can adapt care based on your dog’s individual needs.
