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 was a zoology major, I completed an 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, the Toronto wildlife center, and numerous wildlife sanctuaries across the globe (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Bolivia, Peru), as such, I have dedicated a significant portion of my life to caring for animals, and wouldn't have it any other way. 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, 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 am willing to take dogs on more exciting walks in parks. I am comfortable giving medication when it is required, and I am a professional poop and vomit cleaner (if need be, hopefully not haha). If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! My rates are reflective of: ~1hr on home visits to play and hang out with your pet, or walk with your dog. Lastly, I try to operate within a 5 KM radius of my location where some type of free parking is available :)
