Pet care experience

All animals great and small

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)

Boarding • Mar 09, 2026

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!

House Sitting • Feb 17, 2026

Tatum took such amazing care of our puppy, Walter, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. He’s still young and very routine-oriented, and she handled everything with so much patience, attentiveness, and genuine kindness. It was clear she really cared about making sure he felt comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. She kept us updated, was wonderful to communicate with, and treated Walter like he was her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for puppy, which means everything to us. We are so grateful for the care she gave Walter and would absolutely trust her to watch him again in a heartbeat. I would highly, highly recommend Tatum to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely caring dog sitter!

I have 3 cats and 1 dog myself. Other than working with animals as a veterinarian, my own pets are a full time job. They bring me such joy and entertainment. Even as an adult, if I pass someone with a pet I will always stop to ask to pet it.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Tatum can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
