Enrich your dogs day with me!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Tara! A little about me: before becoming a teacher, I served in the military for 6 years. I served in Alaska where I met my husband and the rest is history! Once I got out in 2014 I had someone ask me "what would you do if money wasn't an object" and I immediately thought "Work with dogs!" So I persued that route and worked with canines for 6 years. I worked as a dog groomer for 2 years before earning my official certification in dog training. I trained dogs in a professional setting for 4 years after that. I made my final career change in Decemer 2020 to work with children and am now a full time student at USM to do just that; but I still have a strong passion for helping dogs be the best version of themselves! So while your dog spends their time with me, they will also get small enrichment sessions to help them achieve just that. I'm looking forward to hosting your furbaby!

Tara took great care of our dog, sent updates, and made sure our dog introduced easily to her pets and kids, which really made for a good visit for her. Thanks again!

Tara and her family were so welcoming and nice! They took great care of my dog Sylys and I loved getting the updates with pictures. Would definitely recommend and use again in the future.

Tara was absolutely wonderful, she took great care of Syllus. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and would definitely leave my dog with her again!!

Pet care fits into my daily routine seamlessly. All furbabies get fed in the morning and let out twice before I leave to drop my daughter off at school. They are alone for a few minutes before I get back and spend the rest of my day hanging out with them while I do my online school work.
