Dog groomer with a big heart

Pet care experience

I've been around dogs since I was 4 years old and decided to pursue a career working with animals. I am a dog groomer and i love what i doI've been working with animals professionally for 4 years now. I regularly dog sit for friends and family and have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I also have experience with exotic pets such as conures, guinea pigs, and some reptiles.

She was amazing. I have two dogs and one is particularly anxious and barky around new people. Daisy had an instant connection w/Tatum and from that moment I was so happy to have Tatum in our lives. She’s great with our two dogs and genuinely loves dogs in general. She administered medication to our Senior beagle and was very communicative w/ us while we were away. She even cleaned our house!! She was great and the next time we go away, I will notify her well in advance b/c there is nobody else I would rather have than Tatum to watch our hounds.

If I could give Tatum zero stars, I would. We had hired her to watch our two dogs over thanksgiving, and had such a negative experience we had to cancel our booking with her on the first day. We asked her to be at our house at 7:00 am the first day, she arrived at 8:30 am. She then left our house around 12:30 pm and did not return until 7:00 pm. I was very detailed in what we expected from her, as we have a 13 week old puppy who was not to be left longer than 4 hours. She did not follow that guideline. She left our dogs for 6 1/2 hours without any food, water, or lights on in the house. Due to her not being attentive to our dogs, our carpet was chewed and ripped up and has stains we have not been able to get out. All of this occurred while we were 500 miles away from our pets. I truly can’t express the stress and worry she caused us to have. I write this detailed review so hopefully no one else experiences what we did. If you want peace of mind with your pets, do not book with Tatum.

There aren't enough words to express how delighted with and thankful we are for Tatum house and dog sitting our 'special' fur child Riley. Tatum was in consistent communication with us and Riley was so happy and well cared for we're not sure he even missed us. Tatum not only took excellent care of Riley, she was also attentive to the house needs. We had a problem she told us about immediately and she coordinated with the service people and took care of what needed to be done until we got home. I knew she would be wonderful when we had the meet and greet - Riley adored her immediately - but I didn't know just how wonderful she would be. We are so very grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. It made our vacation truly restful and relaxing and, above all, we didn't worry one bit about Riley.

Safety, trust & environment

My first priority when caring for my pets or other peoples pets is that nothing is left around that can harm them. So I clean up after myself make sure all trash is thrown away and food that could make them sick is properly disposed of. Multiple potty breaks are taken throughout a stay to ensure that no messes are made inside the house. Food and medication is properly given to the animals on time. I like to create a little routine when sitting to make it as easy as possible on the pets because I know having a sitter can be stressful.

Information Tatum S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that need to be met or if the fur baby takes any special medications that I will need to administer.

A typical day

I usually have a ball or two on hand when going on walks. I will likely take them to a local park in my area because I know some that have great walking trails. And I usually have some treats on hand to make the walk extra fun when playing with the dogs.
