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.

We recently had the pleasure of having Tara care for our sweet kitty, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. As this was our first time leaving our baby alone overnight, we were understandably anxious about finding the right person for the job. Tara exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals. During her visits, Tara kept us informed with regular updates, which put our minds at ease. It was comforting to know that our kitty was in such capable hands. Her attentiveness and care made a world of difference for us, and we could tell that our kitty felt safe and happy with her. We highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. She was simply perfect!

Absolute life saver! Tara communicates super well, and is incredibly trustworthy. We’ve rebooked several times and never have any issues.

Tara seriously made this trip so easy for us. We’ve been using her since November 2023 for weekly walks and for trips when we’re away, so the dogs already know and love her. This was a longer stretch, and she handled it flawlessly. She followed a pretty packed schedule every single day. Early morning feed + walks around 6:30–8, midday walks, evening walks, and then late-night feed + walks. It was a full routine, and she stayed consistent the entire time. I really appreciated how thorough she is. We didn’t have to check in or worry about anything. She kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, so we always knew the boys were taken care of and happy. You could tell they were totally relaxed and in their normal routine. She also has a great feel for them. Not just checking the boxes of feeding and walking, but actually paying attention to how they’re doing, keeping them comfortable, and giving them real attention during each visit. She’s always on time, super responsive, and easy to coordinate with. At this point, she’s such a steady part of our routine that leaving town doesn’t feel stressful anymore. She’s the best! I highly recommend her for your pet care needs.
