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
You were absolutely wonderful! The pictures and videos were great and you even saved my kitty!!! We will be using you for future trips!!!
Tatum did a great job with communicating and going above and beyond for our anxious girl. She came for a nice meet and greet which really helped. She beyond walked her but played and cuddled and loved on her while we were away for the day!!! Would definitely use again!!!!
Tatum is awesome! Our dogs love her!
Tatum was amazing to work with. From scheduling the meet and greet through the end of the house sitting, she was very responsive and attentive. My dogs loved her and she did a great job following all instructions and making sure they were happy. She sent pictures and messages while I was away, and left my home exactly as she found it.

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
Tatum can watch in your home
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).
