About
Tamara Nugteren, owner
Tamara has been a resident and homeowner in St. Louis Park, MN for more than 25 years with her husband Tony, two grown children and their dog, Bandit. She loves adventure, meeting new people and volunteering in the community. Tamara has a degree in advertising and marketing but now prefers not to spend too much time sitting at a desk. She started Snowy Owl Home Watch in 2022 after seeing the great need of care for unoccupied homes here in Minnesota. During the spring and summer weekends you'll find her helping clients navigate Minnehaha Creek with her other company, Kayak The Creek. She also loves pickleball and plays year round.
