About Tamara

I am an active, reliable mum with 2 small kids in school, who just loves pets. I have almost 30 years of experience being around animals as grew up on a farm. Aside, I have owned 2 terrier dogs, some rabbits, an 8 year old guinea pig, an alexandrine parrot called lucky, a scorpion, and a duck! I dont have any pets currently but have absolutely LOVED pet sitting animals at our place. My kids help out because I truly find that kids and animals have such a lovely mutually benefitting relationship and we end up getting into a lovely routine for both kids and pets (pls see pics) :). My 8 year old daughter will often be the one who feeds and helps to administer medication and my son loves playing fetch! Pets sleep with me typically but have caught some pets sleeping in the beds of my children.

We are truly spoilt where we live, 6 houses down from Drummoyne bay and you will often get lots of photos of your dogs by the water. We own a house with a huge backyard that is fully fenced in and have an indoor/outdoor flow where pups cam freely roams.

I WFH and p/t so am pretty much almost always home. We have had pets come for one off stays but also I would say we specialise in having pets on longer extended stays (6 weeks at a time). We have had quite a few pets with special needs requiring adjustments to routine and/or additional care. I have visited many cats at their place and am comfortable popping in at consistent times each day to do this. I typically don't take on more than 1 pet at a time at our home (unless they come together ie are siblings) am reliable and punctual and will provide a pet with a loving stay at ours or a visist at theirs.

What a delight Tamara is! She was so understanding of my cat’s needs and idiosyncrasies. It was really reassuring and I was able to relax on my holiday

Tamara spent real quality time with my cat and my cat came to love her!

Would highly recommend Tamara for anyone needing a pet sitter and will definitely be calling on her again.

Tamara and her kids were amazing at looking after our two older doggies. They were showered in cuddles and love and sent lots of photos so we could enjoy our time away knowing the dogs were having a great time too. Would not hesitate to rebook with Tamara and would strongly recommend to others looking for a sitter. Thank you 🥰
