Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog & Cat Lover!
🐶 Dog Walking: recurrent openings on M, W, F, & Sat (2 day notice needed) ➡️ No openings for dog walking on T & Th I grew up with 2 dogs 🐶 and currently own a cat 🐈⬛ myself. I love both dogs and cats and see them as family members ❤️ I can offer skills to care for both animals! I understand the time demands of providing a dog enough exercise, walking, and playtime in a day 🐾. Also, I understand that behavior management in social situations needs to be considered as well. I grew up feeding, walking, and grooming our dogs, along with pet sitting for friends! 🏡 I'm happy to answer any questions about my experience! I ensure that I'll take great care of your pets and treat them like the family members that they are 💛

Ratings and reviews
Tara came by to meet Wilson in advance of their first walk later this week. She was super friendly, professional, asked all kinds of relevant questions, and clearly knows how to work with dogs and interpret their signals and body language. Looking forward to working with Tara, and I'm sure she and Wilson will get along great!
Tara was great! She was prompt and communicative and easy to work with. She was great with my shy cats and took tons of pictures. I would definitely book with her again!
Tara was amazing, so kind, and my doggie loved her! I will definitely be booking with her again!! 😊🐶💕
Tara was a life-saver! My pup got sick while I was still out of town and she was available and incredibly responsive on short notice to help coordinate taking her to the vet, and quickly learned how to apply the prescription eye ointment. She was very attentive to detail and made sure Maddie was well-cared for during this very stressful time. I appreciate her help immensely!
Tara did an excellent job walking our two golden retrievers, Bear and George! They are not the easiest dogs to walk (they pull quite a bit), but she handled them wonderfully.
Tara has been great for our dog. He is on the older side and can be a bit sensitive. She was skilled in reading his body language and responsive to our needs. Would recommend :)

Schedule
I take classes remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate almost any time and day in the week with notice. I can work M-F early mornings to evenings, and weekends most times of the day.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsTara can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- If your pet has known sensitivities such as anxiety or a history of stress around humans or other animals, this will help me ensure we take the correct precautions on our walk. For example, I'll guide your dog away from oncoming dogs, be mindful at dog parks, & communicate with other people if your dog is comfortable for an interaction or not!
