Educated in the Chihuahua's needs, wants & hates!

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Tara and i'm a huge animal lover who has had dogs all my life so i'm highly educated on how to care for them, especially the chihuahua breed and what to do if there is ever an emergency. I'm also skilled at giving different medications from experience with my own pup. You can without worry leave your dog or dogs with me who will always be at home 24/7 so you know your best buddy won't just be housed and left alone in a cage, they will have a loving babysitter and a friendly playmate (my chihuahua) who will play with them, cuddle up with them, take long walks with them, and without a doubt take really good care of them and most important NEVER put them in a cage! So you can trust that this stressful time away from their parent(s) will be a stress free, enjoyable memory for them as well as for you. I also own my own car so if you need me to pick up or drop off, i'd be more than happy to. If you're still not convinced i am more than willing to give you references. Feel free to call me personally @ 508-386-8976 thank you for your time!

I have known Tara for 24 years. She is a great friend; caring, compassionate and trustworthy. She loves animals, and takes impeccable care of the dog she currently owns. I have no doubt that she will be of great service to all dog owners and their beloved furry friends :)

Tara is the best. I recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitting! She is prompt, courteous and took care of my dogs like they were her own.

We have used Tara for approximate 3yrs and always came home to a relaxed setting for our pets (3) dogs. She is very attentive to the needs of the animals and most importantly a trustworthy person to stay in your home.

Tara is a kind and compassionate person who absolutely loves animals and who honestly doesn't believe there is any animal out there who is a bad pet. i had a dog a few years ago and Tara was the only person that i trusted with him. she was the only one who could help me cut his nails and help give him baths. naturally when i went on a family vacation Tara was the only person who i wanted to take care of him while i was away. Tara is the most compassionate human being i know and i'm so happy that we have been friends for so long and that she was more than willing to help me and my family out by caring for my dog. I could honestly go on and on about how good she is with animals and how caring she is with them. I don't know of anybody else who would take care of my dog with such love and kindness and if i ever need somebody to take care of my dog again i wouldn't hesitate to ask Tara knowing that i can be on vacation at ease knowing that my dog is safe and sound in a caring and pet friendly environment. I highly recommend Tara if anyone needs somebody to take care of their dogs while they're away.

Why I love dog sitting ALL MY LIFE! My parents bought our first dog when i was 10 and a second dog a few years later which had two litters of pups so i have some experience in that area too. When i turned 18 i bought my first dog of my own a chihuahua and i just fell in love with the breed and got another one! Currently i have one dog who lives with me full time which is my third chihuahua, i've had her for two years now and i love her more than i love most of the people i know LOL! I just couldn't imagine my life being worth living without my best friend coco, who i spend every minute with 24-7, share my bed with, and let eat off my plate. I treat her like she's human, yes that means i talk to my dog more than i talk to most people, and because i do it consistently she usually understands what i'm saying.

Information Tara S. would like to know about your pet

I prefer a small to medium size breed but i'll work with you when it comes to size. I am very experienced with the chihuahua breed considering i've owned three of my own and know everything there is to know about them! I read the book too! I also have experience with the beagle breed along with newborn beagle pups! I'd like to know if your dog is paper trained or if its trained to go outdoors, either one works! Does your dog get along with other dogs? Where does your dog usually sleep at night?

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks At the end of my short street is a huge park with a little pond, big open fields, trails through a wooded area that my dog just loves and yours will too! You'll feel at ease knowing that your dog will be out of harms way being away from traffic. Also should your dog hate going for walks i have a wide open field right across from my house that they'd also enjoy. Your dog's sleeping arrangement In my bed if that is okay with you. If you have a dog bed and prefer thats where they should sleep then bring it along. Even though i highly discourage a crate, if its something you demand because you are crate training then that's also fine just bring it along. Time I'll spend with your dog Every waking minute! Dog sitting is my one and only job.
