Experienced Pet Sitter in KCMO!

Pet care experience

*I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I can wear a mask upon request. *I reserve the right to charge more if you are requesting full-time care or potty breaks that are less than 6-8 hours apart. I'm a professor at a small college and genuinely love dog sitting. Since I cannot have a dog of my own, I enjoy spending time with others' furry friends! I have dog sat a lot over the past few years for numerous breeds. I have experience with in-home sitting, overnight stays, dog walking, letting dogs out during the day, and taking pets off of some one's hands for a couple hours when needed. I have a relatively flexible schedule and will try to accommodate your pet's needs as best as possible. I also volunteered at a shelter and fostered an older pup for a few months. It was an amazing experience and taught me a lot about training and continuous pet care. I also have extensive experience with cats as many of my clients have multiple cats. I have house sat, dropped in, and fed/cleaned litter boxes for many returning clients. I do not board any animals at this time.

Tara did a great job. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were in good hands! We will use her again for other upcoming trips!

First time users of Rover and Tara was amazing! She communicated regularly about our dog and keep great care of her. When we picked our dog up she was happy and relaxed.

Tara was great with Baxter. I hadn't left him with anyone in over a year and she put my mind at ease immediately. She sent pictures and regular updates, which I greatly appreciated. Tara was easy to work with, responded quickly and was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. I would absolutely have her watch Baxter again!

Information Tara B. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if your dog gets along with other dogs, any special needs/facts (like doesn't like to be picked up, leash/food/toy agressive, wary around men, etc) how long they can be left alone, and any medical needs.

A typical day

I am understanding of different dog's needs. I have watched rescue dogs that have very special instructions and am always trying to have fun with every pet I look after!
