Pet care experience
I am fully insured, licensed, Pet First Aid/CPR-certified, and veterinary/medically trained. I have over 30 years experience caring for geriatric pets, as well as beloved pets with health conditions such as seizures, heart murmurs, and digestive disorders, so I am acutely tuned in to the special needs and subtle signals that furry kids exhibit when they are not feeling well. I'm also experienced in administering oral/topical medications, insulin shots, and subQ fluids. ♥ Please visit my Facebook page under UptownPetsCLT to see photos and videos of all the kiddos I've fostered, rescued, and pet sit over the past 30 years! ♥ I traveled for a corporate job in my previous career, so I understand the importance of sending photos and videos while you are away. Caring for your fur kiddo is not just my passion, it is my life's purpose, so rest assured that you will experience the highest level of care for your animals. Pets who stay overnight in my home will enjoy sleeping in my bed and on my furniture if you so choose, and you can rest assured they will be pampered and doted on in a non-smoking, extremely loving atmosphere. More than 10% of my profits go to animal rescue organizations nationwide so by choosing me as your provider, you will also indirectly be supporting the U.S. Humane Society, ASPCA, and Wildlife Rehabbers. Please feel free to contact me today to set up a complimentary consultation, and thank you for considering me for the premiere care of your beloved companion!
Reviews
Tara is so kind and provides an environment where my timid pup can feel safe and playful. She’s very attentive and sends frequent, caring updates and pictures! I always know my little guy is well cared for with her.
Tara was really great!! The communication was top notch and Mossy really enjoyed her company. Tara was thoughtful with the visits as well!
Tara is the best! Will use her services in the future :)
Tara is amazing!! Sadie enjoyed her stay with Tara and Kayla. Tara treated Sadie like her own. We had a four day trip and there was not one moment where I thought Sadie wasn’t in good hands. Tara sent lots of pictures and videos of Sadie, which made us feel more comfortable. She is now our preferred pet sitter for Sadie and we will use her services again. Thanks so much, Tara!!

Your pet's safety and happiness are my highest priorities. I treat every client as I wanted to be treated when I used to travel extensively for my Corporate job, and had to leave my own pets with someone else.

Information Tara A. would like to know about your pet
I prefer to set up a free initial consultation since I like to know your pet's routines and see them interact with you in your home in order to make them feel most comfortable while you are away. I am also comfortable with hosting meet & greets in my home so that you are comfortable with the environment they will be staying in while you are away.
A typical day
I love watching their eyes light up after I leash them up and lift them out of my SUV to go "puppy Facebooking" and sniffing at nearby Reedy Creek Park!

Availability
I am in and out of the house quite a bit between wildlife rescue and caring for other clients' pets, but your baby will never go longer than a couple of hours without me coming home to spend time with them, and they are welcome to sleep with me at night. Although I don't have a fenced-in yard, I make an extra effort to take them to nearby parks and hikes through the woods adjacent to my community, and I am hypervigilant about leashing them up before I even open the door to go outside so that we don't have any escape artists! Your beloved fur kid is my priority while they are here, and I go above and beyond to ensure they feel comforted, loved, and well cared for until their beloved pack leaders return to them.
