Meet the Owner
Tammy Stromberg, Owner & Chief Pet Lover
My passion for animals - I was born and raised in Dallas, and an alum of UT Austin (Hook 'em!). I have a BS in Communications, and after college moved to Los Angeles. Yet animals, no matter where I lived, have always been a part of my life. I always had an instinct as a child for nurturing and caring for animals, bringing home strays, birds, tadpoles by our nearby creek or whoever needed care and my parents let me! So thank my parents for inspiring my passion for all living creatures big and small. As I got older I was always asked to help care for pets when friends or family traveled. Now within my close circle which includes clients I'm often known as 'Cesar Jr. ' and I'm honored by that comparison!
In Dallas I spent time volunteering as an education docent at The SPCA of Texas, and in Denver I currently volunteer with RROC (Retriever Rescue of Colorado as a foster but mostly failing ;), assist with collecting much needed food donations and served on the Board while working in the corporate world of marketing/advertising. We became proud foster fail parents to two goldens from the RROC group, Jessie and then to Charlie who was sent to us after Jessie passed away from cancer. No matter how they find us, it's meant to be and they instantly stole our hearts and became the center of our world, the way it should be! We experienced first hand having our pup home alone all day as we worked full time out of the house. We felt terrible and stressed about leaving her without company or a walk. I've always had too much entrepreneur in me so I left the corporate world in '08, put my passion into motion, and started 4 Pawz Sake! It's a proven successful business winning Best of the Best for 14 years! This is not a 'hobby', it's a full time and full service pet care business that I started solo 16 years ago. Today we are a dedicated team of experienced, tenured professionals who provide the utmost compassion and stellar pet care to each and every one of our pet families. We're pet first aid certified, insured, bonded and background checked for your added peace of mind. We love what we do and your pets will feel it too!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We work hard and it shows by our 5 star rating on Google and Yelp!

I began my professional pet sitting career 16+ years ago in Northglenn and have been caring for pets on Tammy's team for 8 furbulous years!
I have tremendous experience and passion caring for all domestic pets from dogs, cats including Savannah's and Devon Rex's to tabby's and even feral, to birds, fish, bunnies and amazing bearded dragons!
When my family moved to Highlands Ranch I couldn't imagine not spending my days with furry friends so I joined 4 Pawz Sake! When not caring for your pet family you'll find me spending time with mine, Jadmir, my sweet and oh so magnificent Husky!

Pets have been a part of our family for as long as I can remember as I lived on a farm in Indiana and we had everything from dogs, cats, fish, Guinea pigs, sheep, and horses. I'm a retired elementary teacher of 18 years and and after moving from Indiana to Colorado I was ready for a career change.
Tammy and I met when she cared for our pups Pierre a very spoiled Shih tzu and now Yankee, our amazing golden doodle. I adopted Yankee from a rescue and trained him since puppyhood to be become a therapy dog. In my spare time we visit elementary schools and we both love it and the positive impact is has on children! I can't imagine not being around pets of all kinds and so enjoy caring for all the fur babies I meet each and every day! (Lee Ann offers overnight care.)

I was raised in the mountains and love outdoor life. Animals and pets of all kinds have always been a part of my life including horses, bunnies, ferrets, dogs, cats and even a hedgehog named Ralph!
My life long experience and compassion in caring for pets makes working as a professional pet sitter a pawfect match! So watch out because your pet family will get extra spoli'n and luv'n while you're away.
I currently have a 11 year old Maltese/Bichon who's the boss and center of our home and in my spare time I enjoy cross-stitching and crocheting.

I wasn't born with pets in our house but very shortly after Tammy and I were married we got a Golden Retriever puppy and haven't looked back since! We've had and fostered several other dogs since then, and even had a hermit crab at one point!
Since the early days of 4 Pawz Sake I've had the pleasure of helping care for more adorable dogs and sweet cats than I can count, plus a few hamsters, guinea pigs, a hedgehog, and more just to add to the fun. I fill in whenever Tammy needs extra hands, especially holidays and weekends, as well as handling some regular walks and visits.
If you ever hear Tammy say that her super hero hubby helper is covering a visit, that's me!
And since you never know what may happen - and believe me we've seen a lot - I've also been able to help with unexpected obstacles that we've encountered like water leaks, thermostat issues, smoke detectors, deep snow, and more to help ensure your pets are safe and well cared for! As a homeowner we know these things happen and strive to ensure your home is safe and comfortable for your pets.
After 20+ years in Colorado I still enjoy all it has to offer, especially the outdoor activities and all the pet-related fun that goes along with that.

Linda, CPL - Pet First Aid Certified & Cat Whisperer
I've been an animal lover since the time I was born and am still a country gal at heart! I grew up with horses, dogs, ducks, a guinea pig, parakeets and rabbits. I was always rescuing birds, bunnies and various kinds of wildlife. Often as a teen, I was asked to care for neighbor's pets while they were away. I moved to Colorado in 1982 and have no desire to leave this beautiful state! In 2002-2008 I founded Wild@Heart Ranch, LLC in Parker, CO, an equine assisted therapy business specializing in work with at-risk youth.
In November 2016, I became a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College and volunteered at Freedom Service Dogs. I no longer own horses, but am on the Advisory Board for 8th Mountain Ranch in Castle Rock, CO.
My husband and I married in 2015. We each lost a spouse to cancer, and between us we have five grown children, two cats and one tiny 95 pound black lab 'grand dog'. I enjoy being part of Tammy's team in caring for client's beloved pets in the comfort of their homes as well as walking dogs in the beautiful Colorado outdoors! (Rhonda offers overnight care.)

I am honored to be part of the great 4 Pawz Sake team. I have had a love of animals my whole life, always trying to make their lives better.
I started out in the health care industry many years ago which only strengthens my need to provide care, for people as well as animals.
I took my desire to serve animals by joining my daughter in her grooming and boarding business. I appreciate how each animal is unique as well as their needs for care. I treat all animals with compassion and genuine concern.
I have been with 4 Pawz Sake for three years and have loved every minute that I care for our sweet fur babies. The animals in our care become like family.
It is a privilege to care for all animals.
Michelle - In Memory
Forever in our hearts and in the hearts of all the families she cared for over 15 years.
We sadly and tragically lost Michelle to lung cancer. As an homage to her friendship, and passion in pet care from the day I started my business in 2008, we pay tribute.

I’ve always loved animals and can't recall a time I never had pets in my life. I've been working on the team since it's debut in '08 and find this to be my pawfect 'pet fix' to play and care for everyone's pets! My experience ranges from dogs and cats of every size and breed imaginable to ferrets, bunnies, birds, aquatics and our lil' critter friends.
One added bonus is having known Tammy and her family for 16+ years and when I'm not caring for fur babies or teaching you'll find me playing in the Highlands Ranch's Community Band! I’m a proud mom of 3 fab-o adult children and a wife of over 20 years! My family and I have been very active in the Highlands Ranch community for over 17 years. I've enjoyed my leadership roles as a Girl Scout troop leader, PTA President and currently work as a part time substitute teacher for special needs children in Douglas County Preschools.
Spoil'n and luv'n is what we do best!
Our entire team is comprised of tenured, professional,
pet care aficionados who are pet first aid certified, background checked, and insured and bonded!
Just a few more reasons why pets and their people
love us!

The Ten Commandments for a Responsible Pet Owner
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you will be very painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me - it is crucial for my well being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment. I only have you!
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when it's speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget it!
7. Remember, I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand and I choose not to bite you even if you choose to strike me.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I've been out in the sun too long, or my heart may be getting old and weak.
9. Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old.
10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, "I can't bear to watch it" or "Let it happen in my absence." Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, I love you!
-Stan Rawlinson, 1993
