“I want to thank Tara for being available to take care of my little fur baby. Buster enjoyed his 1:1 time with Tara's little fur baby (Bella). A very clean and peaceful environment, yet inviting for the dogs to play. I plan to use Tara again for a future booking.”
“Alejandra is wonderful. We've had our large, high-maintenance dog stay with her multiple times now, and she has been so great with him. She sends lots of photos and videos. Thank you for taking such good care of Argo!”
“Bri took excellent care of my 7 month old puppy on her first boarding of a few days. I appreciated how Bri kept me informed throughout how Maggie was doing and sent many pictures. Maggie loves people and animals so I am sure she enjoyed her time with Bri, her family and pups.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover with about 3 years of experience caring for pets. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their pet parents are away. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Your pet will always get lots of attention, care, and kindness with me! Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I have a flexible schedule right now. I’m able to spend plenty of time with pets, whether that’s feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or just keeping them company. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so caring for them feels like a normal part of my day and something I look forward to. When pets stay at my home, I do my best to make them feel comfortable and safe. I follow the routine their owner gives me for feeding, walks, and anything else they need. I also have a gated, fenced yard so pets have a safe space to go outside and play. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm place to relax.
“Megan was great with Bailey from the first meet up all through her stay. Communication was fantastic and loved the pictures, videos and daily updates. Would definitely use again and highly recommended.”
“Kim was phenomenal with our Mylo. She provided timely updates and the cutest videos, so we had no doubt that he was in good hands. Will definitely utilize her again!”
“Hata took amazing care of my 3.5yr old pup. She had consistent communication, asked lots of questions, and made sure that my dog felt welcome in her home. My dog got plenty of outdoors time in her yard and I received multiple picture updates of a happy dog. I would definitely recommend Hata’s services.”
“Snowey loved staying with Leslie and her husband. They showed me the back yard and went over the drop off procedure prior to boarding. I was totally relaxed with Snowey staying with them.”
“Hunter takes great care of our Roxie! She always comes home very happy. Hunter is reliable and keeps us updated. We also love the adorable pictures she sends of our girl.”
About: I’ve taken care of my 1st furbaby since she was a puppy. This includes feeding, bathing, playing, enrichment, walking, vet visits, and much, much more! Summer 2026: I work in education and will have the summer off so I will be very available in June, July and beginning of August. I would love to take care of your fur baby! I am available during most weekends and some weekdays- depending on when I work from home. Just message me for my availability and I will respond. I live alone in my fenced house and it has a lot of space. If need be, I have a fur baby to keep your dog company.
“Charles was fantastic with Frankie. He was easy to communicate with both before and during the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. He even sent us a picture while we were away, which we really appreciated. Frankie was clearly well cared for, and we would absolutely book with Charles again. Highly recommend.”
“He was great with my dog really paid attention to the little things and even taught my dog a new trick. I have never been away from my dog and was very apprehensive but that turned to appreciation after seeing how happy my dog was with him and how much fun she was having. He’s a real dog lover. Your dog will be in great hands with him. I recommend him to anyone who wants to make sure their dog gets the love and attention they need while your away. I definitely will use him again in the future !!!! 11 out of 10 stars !! Thanks Nick”
“Jenna is just lovely! She took care of my little chiweenie so that we could attend a family reunion. My little girl had a few mishaps in the beginning but found her routine and she did well. Jenna was very supportive, comforting and welcoming. I would definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Karen was really amazing!! She took such good care of my Marshmello! I’m always nervous when I have to leave her behind. Karen gave me peace of mind by sending me pics and messaging me various times in the day with her progress. Marshmello was really happy in the pics, interacting with another dog, which she disclosed in our first meet and greet! She even gave her a bath because she smelled delightful and clean. This is my first experience w Karen and I was so pleased! I recommend her wholeheartedly. My fur baby came back cheerful, happy and full of pep. This tells me she was well taken care of!! Thank u much Karen and just know, I will definitely use your services once again !!”
“I cannot recommend Brittany highly enough! She took such great care of my dog, Jack Daniels, while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. She kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Jack Daniels seemed so happy, relaxed, and well taken care of when I returned. It’s clear Brittany is responsible, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future! Thank you!”
“Dennise was great with my senior pup. Very patient and accommodating. Pretty Boy was very comfortable with her. We will definitely be back for another stay!”
“Lulu, our 10-year-young Golden Retriever, has been with Zacch a couple times now. Each time he gives her a lot of attention and love. When I contacted him to change her food regimen upon results from lab work, he immediately made the change. Also, the last time we were getting ready to leave, instead of jumping in the car, she returned to his front door waiting to go back into his house! That says a lot about her enjoying her stay with him. I highly recommend Zacch to take care of your fur babies! He is reliable and will shower them with love and protect them.”
“Rachel always does such a great job watching our dog Piper! We don’t trust just anyone with her and Rachel always makes me feel confident that Piper is being pampered and having fun! 10/10!”

What an Awesome Awesome Awesome 1st time experience with Rover and the Best Sitter Ever! I have NEVER been separated from my baby and was having anxiety all the way to Ma Shawnon’s door I was talking myself out of it and telling myself no one will take care of her like I do no one will understand my strict rules and the care that must be done no exceptions. However there is one that took it to heart to take care of Princess. Ms Shawnon when and before Tex
Tara was amazing! Her home was very welcoming and clean, and she took such great care of my fur baby Dash like he was her own. I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent while I was away… it gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for someone loving and trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you again, Tara!
