“Teresa is amazing with Damon. She spends quality time with him even when his walk finishes early and she’s great for last minute. I think I messaged her at seven this morning and she was available for this evening. She’s definitely the dog walker Dog Sitter you need.”

About: Hi! I’m Tamara, and if your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like family from the moment they walk through the door. ❤️ I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and getting to care for them honestly doesn’t feel like work to me. Every pet has their own little personality, routines, and quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or would rather spend the day snuggled up on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. When you’re away, my goal is to make your pet feel as safe, loved, and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their normal routine, follow every instruction carefully, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and exercise based on their individual needs. I also know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. That’s why I send lots of photo updates and messages throughout their stay so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I want you to feel like you’re right there with them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety, happiness, and comfort always come first. I pay close attention to their behavior, make sure they have a clean and cozy environment, and treat them with the same love and patience I’d want for my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member, and I hope to become someone you can count on whenever you need a trusted sitter!! I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Whether we’re out for a walk, playing, or simply relaxing together, I love making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for throughout the day. Since I’m home often, I’m also able to provide companionship and make sure pets aren’t left alone for long periods of time while their owners are away! Safety starts with understanding each pet as an individual. Before caring for a new pet, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, comfort level, and any important details from their owner. Knowing what is normal for each pet helps me provide better care and recognize when something may be different. In my home, I provide a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and enrichment while still making sure each pet’s safety comes first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep their routine consistent, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I believe good pet care is about being attentive, patient, and proactive. I pay attention to changes in behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and overall well-being, and I keep owners updated so they always feel connected and informed!
“We’ve been with Melissa for over a month. From the beginning, Melissa and Clarice made a connection. She was a perfect match for my pup’s energy. She is so patient with Clarice as well; I know she tends to be a bit much sometimes. Melissa is very respectful, and keeps that communication gate open whenever she comes to see Clarice. I love to see the pictures I get while I’m at work. I highly recommend booking with Melissa, you won’t be disappointed!”
About: I have always had many pets throughout my life. I currently have 3 dogs 2 cats and some freshwater fish tanks.

About: I've taken care of dogs for many years and have a dog of my own who is my world. Dogs are the best and I only treat them with love and kindness.

I make sure we discuss in advance what will be needed and when so we're on the same page. I care for pets with love and attention. I make sure we are all on the same page so I can ensure we don't run into any issues.

About: Finding someone you trust with your pets is a big deal—whether you need a regular midday walk, a drop-in while you’re away, or someone to settle in with them overnight. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy and comfortable, stick to the routines they know, and give you one less thing to worry about. With 20 years of my own pet care experience, I’ve learned that every animal is different. I pay attention to the little things—their personalities, habits, comfort levels, and all those quirks that make them them. Some want long walks and plenty of playtime, some are happiest curled up beside me on the couch, and others need a little patience and space before deciding we’re friends. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. You can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and communication you won’t have to chase down. Whether I’m there for a 30-minute visit or making your home my home base while you’re away, I take the responsibility seriously. That means thoughtful care for your pets, respect for your home, and attention to the little details that help everything run smoothly. At the end of the day, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands—whether I’m part of their everyday routine or caring for them while you’re away. And yes, they’re probably getting a few extra cuddles along the way! I am self employed so I have the ability to give your pet all the time and focus it needs. I routinely walk my dog at the local parks and around the neighborhood multiple times daily and could easily do the same for your puppers or kittens too. I care for my cat daily with lots of play and petting too. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re usually happiest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and take the time to learn what’s normal for your pet—from their routine and personality to the little things that help them feel safe and settled. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, medications, feeding routines, and any special instructions specific to your pet and home. I’m also respectful of the trust that comes with being welcomed into someone’s home. I’ll care for your space thoughtfully, keep you updated along the way, and pay attention to anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pets and your home are in good hands.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
