Pet care experience

Your Pet, My Priority!

As someone who has used Rover for my own pets, I know you want someone who will care for and love your pets like you do! It can be hard to trust someone with your best friend, but I can offer you a pet sitting experience that puts your pet first. I am experienced in training dogs, administering multiple types of medication including pills, ear drops, subcutaneous fluid, & other injections. I have had pets since early childhood and have experience with farm animal care. Whether your pet is old or young, I can provide an engaging and fun care giving experience that will lessen the separation struggle for you and your loved one.

Safety, trust & environment

If you decide to keep your pal with me, I have two cats and a dog that can keep your buddy company alongside me. While we do lack a fence, we don’t let that ruin our fun! We go on plenty of walks around the neighborhood and woodland trails behind our home. We have an array of treats for you to approve of, SO MANY TOYS, and a low volume household that will keep your pet at ease. For care IN YOUR HOME, just tell me what you want! I respect that we all pet parent in our own way and have no problem helping pets with special needs or quirks. I think the most important thing is to keep the status quo when caring for pets in their own homes so that they aren’t stressed about me showing up. I have a flexible schedule so I can fine-tune my visits to fit exactly what you need from me.

Tara was marvelous. She took such good care of our kitty and gave her all the cuddles she needed. She has an extraordinary ability to bond with both people and animals. She went above and beyond what was required of her. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and feel that my cat was safe and well looked after.

We always have peace of mind when we’re away when Tara is checking in on our cat Finn! Would highly recommend Tara.

Tara was amazing with my cats. She played with them, fed them, gave them some love and was just an overall perfect fill-in for my absence. She truly cares for your animals and goes above & beyond. Thank you, Tara, for your service and being so attentive & caring to help me out for an extra day. I appreciate it.

Schedule

I’m currently employed and work regular daytime hours. Before and after work, I am hanging out with my own dog and kitties so why not add your animals to the mix?! I can pop in during morning hours and early/late evenings. Other than that, I’m a free agent for your Fluffy! Even on most holidays!

I think that a calm meet & greet is essential! Let me know about any medications, sensitivities, anxieties, or special needs your pet has ahead of time please. Are they crate trained? Are they allowed on furniture? When it comes to pet instructions, the more detailed, the better!
