Meet our founder

Hi, I’m Tamal!
I’ve been living with, caring for, and cuddling animals all my life. I want everyone to be able to find pet care they can count on while they’re busy or away, which is why I started Walking Sitters Pet Services.
Now, I’m so grateful to work with a team of fellow pet pros who step up to the plate and help us set a new standard for pet care.

They are fantastic! We were so nervous about leaving our boys (2 cats) in the care of strangers, but they are amazing. They take pictures and write notes so you know they are doing good. They follow your directions and they even check your mail for you as en extra bonus. They provide such peace of mind when we need to go out of town. I highly recommend them and now that they have taken care of our boys twice they no longer feel like strangers, they are family.

Tamal and his team go above and beyond to make sure our dogs, cats, and ducks are comfortable at no extra charge for the 6 animals in our household. Communication is easy, reliable and we love seeing the picture updates. The extras like bringing in the trash bins, watering plants, and package alerts keeps them as our first choice for booking.

Walking sitters has been wonderful for my old dog. My dog is a grumpy old girl and Emily has been so kind and patient with her. I always get updates when she's done with her walks. I really can't say enough about good things about the care and time Emily takes with my dog.

The Walking Sitters team has gone above and beyond for our family and our pets. We have had a variety of pets and pet needs over the years and Walking Sitters has met and exceeded every one. From special needs dogs, cats, chickens, lizards, we have needed it all. They are consistently available and do a great job with walks and with pet care for pets while on trips. They send updates and pictures when we are out of town and they do an overall outstanding job. Everyone at Walking Sitters loves animals and it shows. I would recommend Walking Sitters to anyone looking for outstanding pet care!

Walking Sitters is the BEST! The owner, Tamal, came by for a first visit to get a view of the house and an in-person description of what we needed for our cats while my partner and I were away, which was great. While we were on a brief vacation, Jennifer A. came by twice a day to feed and give attention to our cats. She sent positive photos and updates, which were a pleasure to receive and never over-bearing. One of our cats was finicky and elderly, and Jennifer did a fabulous job making sure she was fed. It was reassuring to get the photos, and I never felt overwhelmed with too many details. Both kitties were well-loved while we were away. I'll be a repeat customer for sure. Thanks so much for the excellent care and peace of mind, Walking Sitters!

We had never left our boys with strangers before and now our minds are finally at ease that we can travel when we need to and they will be safe and taken care of the entire time. For anyone nervous about using a service vs friends or family, I was so impressed. They will grab your mail for you when they come in. You pick the amount of time you want them to spend with them. They take pictures and provide progress notes every single day. Everything was consistent and the very first day we got updates our minds were at ease. We will absolutely be using this service again and I highly recommend them.

They are so great! Super professional and communicative. I got photos of my cat the entire trip in a cool portal they set up. They really monitor everything and are super thorough. Plus my cat is usually sus with strangers but loved Jennifer. Really glad I have them to watch my cat for any upcoming trips.

Tamal’s team is just wonderful, I can’t recommend this company enough. If you even bring up the word “dog” in conversation with me, I’m probably already halfway through my spiel on just how amazing this service is. Jennifer and Emily are both so great with my handful of a pup, and he’s obsessed with them (he runs to the door when I even mention one of their names). I’m just as obsessed. It’s nice to know he’s had his adventure and exercise for the afternoon while I’m locked away in my office… the fact that I get a daily update with photos included is icing on the cake. 20/10 recommend!

What our clients are saying

“Great service! Caring, diligent and punctual. Took efforts in ensuring that our picky dog was fed appropriately. They sent us photos of our beloved pup while they took care of him and that was such a thoughtful gesture. Will continue to hire them for our dog care.” -Yumi A.
