A true dog mom!

Pet care experience

My name is Tara. I am an art school graduate that has a passion for taking care of animals! I have lived in the Bay area for six years and have been professionally working with dogs for four. My love for dogs started when I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a child, I would pay close attention to what the veterinarians would say and do when my dogs when in for check ups and emergencies. I wanted to be veterinarian myself, but took the art school route but will soon be studying to become a veterinary technician. My ethic is to stay positive and patient with the dogs in my care. While out, I make sure the pup get to visit any parks close by and to all the best sniff spots! Having a positive energy and some yummy treats make a happy and successful walk! My dogs, Finley and Ricky enjoy exploring the city for new parks, fields, and meadows too, so I make sure to take note. I will always treat your pup as if they are my own! If you think your dog and I could be a good match, please feel free to message me! My schedule is flexible in working out times for walks and drop-ins. Due to the pandemic, I will be take extra safety precautions. I ask that if you plan on being home and interacting during pick up/drop off, please wear a mask for the safety of everyone. I will be bringing my own leash and ask that you have your pup harnessed up and ready to go for some fun! More than happy to arrange easy and contactless pick ups (:

Tara is amazing! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for a dog sitter/dog walker. It's not easy finding people you can trust to watch your doggies in your own home. Especially when you have a very territorial dog. My dog Rosie warmed up to Tara right away, and it only took Fred about 10 minutes who normally barks at everyone for over an hour! She was so awesome with them, I don't think they wanted me to come home. She provided text/photo/video updates, made sure Rosie got her medicine on time and always had a fresh bowl of water. Most importantly Tara gave them the TLC that I would have if I was home. If your reading this, stop looking for other sitters and HIRE TARA NOW! That is if I haven't booked her first. Tara is a the best! We need more dog sitters like her. Fred and Rosie are excited for me to go away again so they can get some more time with her.

Tara was so great with our dog Humphrey. She took him on nice long walks with varied routes to keep things interesting, and always made sure he had everything he needed for the rest of the day.

I highly recommend Tara to work for Rover.com as a dog walker. Raised around dogs since she was born she treats all dogs like they are her own babies, with care, kindness, compassion, and she gives as much love as she does with her own dogs. She truly enjoys walking dogs and taking care of them as well. I know you will be very pleased with her services!
