About: I am an avid dog lover, to me they are one of the biggest joys of our lives. I am available for walking, sitting, trips to the groomer, to put your mind at ease when you are away from home. I have dogs all my life. I have cared for family and friends dogs, and have began getting referrals from word of mouth. I have cared for senior dogs, puppies, conscious of particular feeding needs and special instructions with medications that may be needed. I also love exercise and walking, so if you are looking for exercise for your furry family member, I welcome it! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and I hope to be of service to you sometime. I am currently working part time 2 days a week at a local hospital with plenty of time to care for your dog. I like to walk and get exercise for the dogs and myself. I am available for pet sitting, which I do frequently. I have a Jack Russel mix, Jazzie about 40 pounds and gets along great with other dogs.

“I am a first time user of the Rover app and have never left my almost 10 year old Yorkie Poo at home with a visitor drop in, he has always been watched by a family member so I was a little weary. I could not be happier that Tara was the person in charge of my little dog, she is a dream come true to a pet owner. My dog is just one plain weird dog, he has a lot of quirks and personality, but Tara handled any strange thing he did with grace and ease. She was attentive, professional, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and kind throughout the whole process. Tara is a true animal lover and views your pet like one of her own - highly recommend any service she has to offer.”

About: Hi! I’m Sarah 🐾 I’ve loved working with dogs for as long as I can remember and have experience with dog walking, hiking, daycare, and basic training support. I’m especially great with high-energy breeds and love making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and care they need. Whether your pup loves long walks, outdoor adventures, or just some extra company during the day, I treat every dog like family and focus on creating a safe, fun, and positive experience. 🐶💛 I stoped working as an electrician so that I can work with kids and animals, animals are my passion. I loved working at a farm and my favorite is group hikes Safety is my top priority so I treat every pet like my own and keep the space clean and secure. Sticking to their routine is really important to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free.
About: I love animals I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. Making sure every animal is loved is very important to me. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine through planned, consistent time set aside for each pet’s needs. On a daily basis, I schedule time for feeding, providing fresh water, walks or exercise, cleaning litter boxes or waste areas, and giving attention, playtime, and companionship. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. On a weekly basis, I incorporate deeper cleaning of pet areas, restocking supplies, grooming as needed, and reviewing any special instructions from pet owners. I plan my schedule in advance to ensure pet care responsibilities are met reliably without interfering with other commitments. Pet care in my home and/or a client’s home is provided based on the specific service requested and the individual needs of each pet. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise, and routines. In a client’s home, I ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment by maintaining their normal daily routine, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or waste areas, and offering companionship, playtime, and supervision. In my home, pets are kept in a safe, clean, and calm environment with appropriate supervision, regular feeding, exercise, and rest. I prioritize the pet’s safety, health, and emotional well-being at all times and communicate with owners as needed to provide updates or address concerns.
“Emily was WONDERFUL with our three dogs. She is responsible and a great communicator. She sent pictures from each visit. Our pups loved spending time with her. We’d definitely use her again.”

“Another exceptional experience with Megan, Megan is the best pet sitter, she is reliable, professional and cares for our cats like they were own. We enjoy our time away so much more knowing Megan is caring for our cats because we don't have to worry about their well being while in her care. Cannot recommend Megan enough!”
“This was our second time booking with Jennifer and we will definitely book with her again in the future! It’s so nice to know that Rosie is in good hands and that we have someone we can trust to take great care of her.”
