Does a tie in the Senate require the Vice-President to always be present in the Senate?

Would the vice president be required to always be in the senate chamber in order to break ties? If not, how often must she be there -- or does she need to be there at all to vote her tie-breaker vote?

I wonder does this make her less effective at what a vice president would otherwise be doing, with diplomacy or other governance.
