“Tara was an awesome house/doggo sitter. My dog has a seizure disorder and needs to take medication twice a day, so I needed somebody who was competent and responsible. I've never left with my dog with someone I just met, but Tara came over after I booked to meet us and right away I felt like I could trust her with the job. Tara took care of everything without issue while I was gone. She sent me updates and photos throughout each day. She also took great care of my house. I cleaned before I left and I came back to it cleaner than I left it. I highly recommend Tara as a dog or house sitter, and will be using her again the next time I have to go out of town and can't bring my dog.”
About: I bring the doggos for a walk through the bush, up the mountain, to the lake, or to the park to run all depending on their energy levels! Bring them for drives up in the back country let them enjoy the fresh air I’m currently working fulltime at Smili Dental. Week on week off work! but your animal will still be well well loved. Every morning before work I go for a 30 minute walk regardless of time if it’s before shift or on my day off. I only do dog sitting at the persons home as it is easier for the dog to stay comfortable in their territory when meeting staying with someone new too their life without their family.
“Christina exceeded all expectations! My boys Charlie and Steez loved her. Great communication and fantastic energy from Christina! Thanks so much for taking great care of them!”

Powell River pet parents share their Rover experiences
We are so happy to have found Tara to care for our unique crew while we’re out of town. Two of our pets require specialty care, so finding the right person was important to us. Tara went above and beyond to ensure our pets received the best care, so much so that I returned home feeling like I had an actual vacation knowing everyone was happy and healthy. She is a a true animal lover, a cat whisperer, and overall a wonderful and thoughtful person. I was blown away at her dedication to making sure everyone was happy. My husband even joked asking if she was even at our home it was left so clean. 100% would recommend and looking forward to having her over again.
