About
All animals all the time!
No breed restrictions.
Im an army veteran. I dispense medicine (oral or diabetic shots). Check inns, overnight care (in your home or mine), dog park field trips, training, walks and talks ?!
I love animals all animals of all kinds this isn't my side job or a hobby this is my career it is what I do full-time. I'm a disabled army vet and since getting out of the service I have devoted my life to taking care of my mother and taking care of animals whether it be rescuing a lost animal and finding its way back to its home or taking great care of all my clients pets. I'm experienced in obedience training and first responder care. I'm also familiar with but not limited to reptiles, fish, rabbits, Guinea pigs and sugar gliders and any other animal that some may feel uncomfortable or lack experience.

My dogs and cats were so incredibly well taken care of in my home while I was out of the country on vacation. We received photos every visit. Everything was in perfect condition when we got home!

Tami was amazing! This was my first time using this type of service and I was super nervous leaving my Lilly, especially since it was short notice. Tami had room for Lilly and reassured me that everything would be okay. She provided me with pictures/video updates throughout Lilly’s stay. I will be booking for future stays!

We recently hired Tami and her team to care for our two dogs and cat for a 5-day in-home stay. First thing to mention is the communication, which was excellent! From our first contact, Tami was extremely responsive and answered every text message immediately no matter what time of day or evening. When you're away from home and unable to check on your pets, it's comforting to be able to get updates nearly real-time, so that was impressive and appreciated! We had Mandi as our sitter and she was wonderful! They provided pics of all the pets each day, which was great to have, and our babies seemed cared-for and happy when we returned from our trip. Mandi also made sure everything else (mail, trash, plants) was taken care of while we were gone and our house was spotless when we got back! We were very happy with their services and will definitely be calling on them for our petsitting needs in the future!

Four Paws Pet Service has been a true blessing for me and Mr. Percy. Tami goes above and beyond every single time. My baby is very spoiled, but he lights up when he sees her and always has a ball.
What I love most is that she treats him like her own. She’s become Aunt Tami in our household, not just a pet sitter. When I’m away, I have complete confidence and peace knowing he’s safe, loved, and happy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!
Details: 1 pet • Dog • 4 - 7 days

I’m so happy I found Four Paws. I got updates everyday with pictures of my cats. Everything was taken care of and I had peace of mind knowing my cats had daily interaction. Would/will definitely use again.
