Safety, trust & environment

I'm extremely detail oriented. I'm always observing behavior and their regular routine. If something seems off I will address it and communicate it immediately. My love for animals is my life's work.

Information Tatum M. would like to know about your pet

Any behavior issues or quirks, habits, any special needs, commands to use. Anything not allowed. Emergency vet contact for a worst case scenario. I am more than happy to accommodate any things the power needs. Share anything you feel is important. Because I host many animals in my own home, vaccination and preventative information must be provided to maintain a safe environment for other pets and my own.

A typical day

We can play in the yard, go for walks, and play with toys. All animals will have my full attention when they want to interact, they take priority.

Pet care experience

I'm a veterinarian out due to an injury. Missing the interactions with fur babies! I'm slowly getting back to work but until I'm full time again I'd like to help people out by caring for their beloved pets! I will treat them as my own and communicate with the owners as often as they want! No animal is off limits! They will be in great hands. I'm home most of the time aside from occasional doctors appointments and occasionally work shifts (currently very part time)

We cannot say enough great things about Tatum! She watched our dog Blaze while we were on a cruise, and from the very beginning she completely put our minds at ease. Blaze is a fire service dog and can be a little more challenging to handle than the average pup, so leaving him with someone new can make us a bit nervous. Tatum absolutely blew it out of the water. From day one she was incredibly attentive, patient, and clearly experienced with handling dogs that require a little extra understanding and structure. What really stood out was how communicative she was throughout the entire stay. She sent updates throughout the day along with tons of pictures and videos, which made such a difference while we were away. It was so reassuring to see Blaze happy, comfortable, and clearly being well cared for. You could tell she truly cared about him and treated him like one of her own. Because of that, we never had to worry about how he was doing while we were gone — which is the best feeling you can have when leaving your dog with someone. Tatum went above and beyond in every way, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care she gave Blaze. We will absolutely be using her again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Tatum should be your go to!!!!!!

She stepped in for us last minute and was incredible! Our dogs were so well taken care of, and she kept us updated the whole time which meant a lot. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but she made it completely stress-free. We’re so thankful she was able to help on short notice and would absolutely book with her again!
