Pet care experience
I love dogs and have many years of experience with fur-babies from small to large & young to old age. I beleive pets like dogs and cats are family members too. They need attention, love and play time when their family is away. I have 15+ years of experience pet-sitting. I use to run a petsitting business in Arizona before moving to Florida. I have 30+ years of family pet experience. I am a stay at home mom to two older children who I homeschool. I am home all day with an open schedule. I have some pet training experience as well. I've taught my pets simple commands like sit, lay down, roll over & shake. I love taking care of pets and getting to know them. They have such funny personalities! 🤣

I’ve known Tara for several years now. She is such a kind hearted, sweet and super caring person. She has a huge love for animals and treats them as if they were family. I trust her with my furbabies and children any day.
Tara is a wonderful sitter she was amazing and very caring and took great care of my dog lambchop who was a scared of most people but loved her
Tara is a very kind & caring person & it shows when she has watched my Lilly girl. I always knew my pup was in the best care when I dropped her off. Lilly enjoyed being in Tara’s care & always came home a happy girl. I would recommend Tara to care for your pet any time. A+
Tara is a great dog sitter! I highly recommend her she is so sweet and caring. Compassionate about her job and reliable. Thank you again Tara!

Safety, trust & environment
Making sure the yard/house is secure is one of my top priorities. If I know the dog is an escape artist I like to do a walk through to secure areas. I like to come out with the dog when it's potty time to keep an eye on them and also play if that's what they're into. It's a great time to stretch their legs. For cats, they're pretty hit or miss on what they enjoy so definitely discussing what they like to do or if they enjoy pets knowing where their favorite spot is. Same goes for dogs. Asking questions to make sure they receive the love they are use to is another top priority.
Information Tara B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know what their favorite activity is. If they like to play ball or tug-o-war or where they like to be pet etc. I would like to also know any behaviors such as getting into things or running away, so they may have to better customize their care.
A typical day
We have sidewalks down our street that are great for walking. There is a park with lots of sidewalks within walking distance to take a nice stroll. We have lots of tennis balls to play fetch in our large backyard.

I'm currently a stay at home mom with two older children that I homeschool so I have an open schedule with no places to be usually! LOL!
