I Love Your Pet Like I Love My Own
Pet care experience
I've lived in multiple states and regularly taken care of pets since I was 14. I've cared for a variety of pets of different ages, temperaments and medical needs. I have experience with dog, cats, birds, fish, and some reptiles. I'm observant and careful with the pets I care for. My family is experienced with animals and help me with anything I may be unexperienced with. My mother specifically has a lot of experience working in vet hospitals and animal shelters.
Reviews
Tatum has been great for our labradoodle! She even stays after the walk to sit with her to let her hydrate and settle before crating her. Our dog can be anxious and has warmed up to her easily! Very reliable and a good communicator!
Tatum did an awesome job of taking care of my pups and keeping me informed. She was super easy to work with and the dogs loved her.
Our girls love Tatum! She always takes such good care of our girls.
We left the county for 12 days to have our long awaited wedding. This is the second time we have left our two dogs (and our one fish) with Tatum and we couldn't be any happier! We are so grateful to be able to go on vacation and not worry about how our pups will be treated because we know they are in amazing hands. Thank you again Tatum!

I will follow all your instructions and make sure your pet will be safe in your home as well as out (walks, playtime). I am affectionate and dote on the pets I watch; more often than not I end up spending extra time with them. Regular feedings, medication, playtime and socialization, rest and nighttime care will be handled with care so your pet can have a good experience!
Information Tatum G. would like to know about your pet
Anything you feel is pertinent! I always like to have a general idea of what the pet is like, so the more info the merrier. Specifically, it'd be nice to know in advance any medications and general temperament (energetic, snuggly, etc), but if it's already on your pet's information page, then don't worry about it. I'm willing to take care of any dog, I just like to be prepared!
A typical day
Generally, I aim to give a nice balance of playtime and relaxation, but I always try to match the energy of the pet I care for! For playing, I'll use whatever toys you have available, help run out their zoomies, and squeeze in some outdoor time if possible (all while being kept hydrated). Relaxing is more self-explanatory; I'll usually just sit next to them and give as much affection as they want, striking an equal balance of belly rubs and ear scritches, until they snooze off. With permission, I also like to toss in a treat every now and then.
Services

Availability
I'm currently taking online classes and recently obtained a part-time job, but I still generally have a lot of free-time to spare. I prioritize any pet-sitting jobs I get and plan anything else I do around them. Feel free to shoot a message if you have any questions about what times I'm available! I may be available when my calendar says I'm not (The things that'd occupy my time like the job or class usually only occupy a few hours; depending on the service you want, I could possibly care for your pet on top of my regular responsibilities depending on the time).
