About: Hi! My name is Tara, and I’m a dependable, caring sitter with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and overnight stays. I personally have two wonderful cats that I spend more than half my day with. Every morning I make sure they have food and water and while I may not have an extensive food routine for them they do get their occasional wet meal. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow all instructions provided for feeding, walks, medications, and daily habits. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and keep the home clean and organized while I’m there.

About: I have had a personal doggy care system for about 6 years. I tend to do a lot of house sitting because I want your animal to feel safe and comfortable in their environment. My business primarily has been through word of mouth but I have taken care of little fur babies from old to young, I also can give meds to any dog, no matter the issues; I’ve worked with epileptic dogs to dogs with heart issues, truly I don’t mind! I’ve worked with anxious dogs/cats to aggressive dogs/cats. I am a dog nanny to my sisters 3 dogs now, they brighten my day, daily! I absolutely love animals and hope to help yours! I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule. I am able to let out/walk your little ones at any and all times of the day. I don’t need much heads up, as long as I can get there, I’m able to stay as long or take them to parks, on car rides, etc. I have a pretty big fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home, one small and two medium, all very friendly to keep any fur baby company. I am comfortable house sitting as well, I also can crate if needed. I believe in providing comfort and creating a low stress environment for your baby!
