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.

Tamara took care of our cat Goldie for 2 weeks. We came home to a healthy, happy cat who clearly enjoyed her time with Tamara and her daughter. They were so gentle and loving with Goldie, giving her plenty of playtime – so much so that Goldie was still eager for more when we got back! The communication throughout was excellent, giving us peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Tamara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Tamara took wonderful care of our Maine Coon

cat while we were away for a month with daily home visits - communicating regularly and even sending photos! We can’t recommend her highly enough.
