About Tyra

Hi, I'm Tyra!
I currently work full time at Hamilton Zoo (Monday to Friday), where I contribute to the conservation and care of wild animals every day.

My experience with animals goes well beyond the zoo. I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family, and colleagues since I was 15, and truly love connecting with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have a cat named Taz, who is my pride and joy.

I offer daily visits before and/or after work, weekends and dog walking where needed.

I'm excited to use this platform to share my passion and help care for your furry (or feathered!) family members. If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to reach out — I’d love to hear from you!

Looking forward to meeting you and your pets,
Tyra 🐾

Need extra words to make my word count for this description 🤷‍♀️🇿🇦🐾🦒🌷
