About: I grew up around dogs. I have experience caring for many different types of dogs, old and young, big and small. I can administer medication both orally and injection when necessary.

I feel that the most important part of pet care is genuine affection for the animals.
“Tarah was sooo amazing with my cat, Mao Mao! My husband and I went away for 2 weeks on our honeymoon, which is the longest we've been away before so I was worried leaving her that long. But Tarah eased every single worry I had! She gave amazing updates and pictures of Mao Mao while we were gone, made sure her litter boxes were clean, her food bowl was filled, and that she got lots of love and pets while we were away! She was so responsive and easy to get ahold of and really went above and beyond for us! I would 100% book with Tarah again for any trip we take in the future!”
“Brinkley had such a great time with Alex. I could tell they played a lot of fetch because Brinkley was sleeping the rest of the day until I came home from work. She made a point to try and meet Brinkley before coming to take care of her to make sure she knew what my girl needed.”
