Hi there!
My name is Tamara and I love animalsssss! I grew up with pets, so I've had dogs, hedgehogs, lizards, fish, and cats (of course)! I currently have one cat, she’s a senior, but still my little baby and I love her with all my heart. I am (was) a zoology major, I completed a honours program while living in South Africa studying black rhinos and lions. I have also had the fortunate opportunity to volunteer at a vet clinic, and numerous wildlife sanctuaries across the globe (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Bolivia, Peru), so when I say I have dedicated my life to animals, I genuinely mean it. I am responsible, caring, I will listen and follow any and all instructions given to me to ensure the safety and quality care of your pets!
During visits, I will clean the litter box, change water and replenish food and give lots of head scratches and/or belly rubs. I will treat your animals like my own and give you plenty of updates (pictures and videos, any amusing stories). I have a car to get to and from locations, and willing to take dogs on more exciting walks in parks with open spaces. I am comfortable giving medication when it is required, and I am a professional poop and vomit cleaner (if need be, hopefully not haha). I really just love animals and am looking to earn some extra income while spending time with creatures whom I adore. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! My rates are reflective of: I stay for an hour on my home visits to play and hang out with your pet, I walk for an hour with your dog. Lastly, I try to operate within a 7 KM radius of my location where some type of free parking is available :)
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.

Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Tamara was amazing with our cats and rats! sent us pictures everyday and gave updates on our apartment. would absolutely book again. Thank you Tamara!
Tamara was GREAT! Communication with her was easy, she updated us daily, and I felt secure with her caring for my cats while we were on vacation. Amazing!
