Tara is the best! She is our first pick to watch our dog! She has taken care of my dog when he’s needed eye ointment, and allergy medication, and I know he’s being well taken care of!

Our labradoodle, Digby, has stayed at Tara's in the past and gets along well with her dogs. Digby loves his walks with one of her dogs. Tara updates us daily with a picture responds quickly to our communication. We recommend Tara and will use her again.

Tara took exceptional care of our mini Bernedoodle, Nelly, for two weeks while we were away on vacation. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing she was in such a caring and experienced home. Tara sent thoughtful updates every day with photos and videos, so we always knew how Nelly was doing. It was clear she wasn’t just being watched—she became part of the family. Nelly enjoyed long walks, lots of supervised playtime with Tara’s two friendly Labs, and plenty of affection. We especially appreciated the little observations about her personality and habits, which showed Tara was really paying attention. Communication was excellent from start to finish. Tara was responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure both Nelly and we were comfortable throughout the stay. When Nelly didn’t finish a meal, Tara reached out right away, and it was reassuring to know she was paying such close attention. We came home to a happy, healthy, relaxed dog, and that’s the best review any pet sitter can receive. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Tara again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like one of her own. Thank you, Tara!

We were referred to Tara by another Rover dog sitter who was not available. We really appreciated the referral as Tara as we were very pleased with the care she provided for our labradoodle. The meet and greet was a great idea as it gave our dog the opportunity to interact with her dogs. All went well and Digby met some new dog friends. We have already booked another dog sitting with her. We highly recommend Tara.
