Safety, trust & environment

I will always make sure your furbabies are attended to and will treat them as my own. We will play with their favorite toys and I will make sure to give them lots of snuggles and treats if allowed by the pet parents. I will adhere to their feeding and excercise schedules as closely as possible to make them feel like not much has changed while you are away.

Information Tara B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs your pup may have and I will be sure to accommodate them! Please also make me aware if any other behavioral issues to watch out for( dog on dog aggression, separating pets in the home during feeding times, issues with storm anxiety, etc.).

A typical day

I will make sure to give your pup lots of cuddles and praise while I am with them. I will play with their toys with them and shower them in the love they deserve while you're not home!

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover as long as I can remember. I have owned pocket pets from a very young age and owned a dog from the age of 8. Worked for best friends kennels for 6 years, spent several years in animal hospitals in various roles ranging from administration to vet assistant and reception.and am currently doing pet sitting and dog walking full time! I am experienced in giving medicine if needed and even insulin injections for diabetic pets. I Currently own 4 cats, and I will love your pups and kitties as if they were my own! I hope you will trust me to give your pet the loving and tender care that they need while you are not home.

Even on Tara’s own birthday, she came to take care of our boys & take them on their lunchtime walkies. She is amazing and the best! We love Tara.

Tara has been walking our foster dog weekly after caring for him for two weeks when we were away. He’s always happy and calm when we see him again afterward. She keeps him calm and happy, which is fantastic. I recommend Tara to anyone needing pet care.

Tara was fantastic with our high-energy foster. She knows how to calm him down by sitting with him and remaining calm. It works wonders. We came home to a happy, calm dog. I will be reaching out to book again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
