Vet asst. to care for furry friends

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a wildlife animal technician with 2 years of experience rehabilitating wild animals. Through this job I have experience handling unruly animals, including giving meds (oral and injections), tube feeding, and cleaning enclosures. Personally, I have lived with and cared for cats, dogs, chinchillas, bearded dragons, leopard geckos, and fish for my entire life, and currently have a 3 year old hedgehog named Mango! I am the go-to pet sitter for friends, neighbors, and family. I love animals of all kinds, and would be delighted to care for yours!

Tara was the sweetest and most reliable cat-sitter! She was very detail oriented with instructions and was flexible with our last-minute plans. She provided pictures and updates everyday. The kitty loved her playtime visits. We would 100% book Tara again!

Tara is a fantastic dog sitter. She has kept my dog safe multiple times while I've traveled. My dog is in love with Tara. I met Tara because she is my girlfriend's roommate, and whenever I go over there, my dog runs into Tara's room first. I would definitely recommend Tara as a dog sitter. She is always my first choice when I'm going out of town.

Safety, trust & environment

In my client's homes, I am respectful of space, cleanliness, house rules, and would be more than happy to care for your pet depending on their needs. I cannot currently offer boarding as my living situation does not allow pets.

Information Tara B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what your pet needs! I am happy to tailor my care to what your pet is accustomed to - I would hate to add stress by switching up their daily routines too much. My primary goal is the comfort and safety of your furry family members.

A typical day

I am happy to take your dog/pet on walks on the route they are accustomed to, or switch it up! I can take them to dog parks to play, if that is something they enjoy, and on pet-friendly hikes as I like to do that myself on weekends. I have large green areas near me where we can play ball, and a car to transport them to these areas. Just let me know your preference, or if there's anywhere/anything your pet particularly enjoys!
