Best Friends

Having pets is one of the best parts of life. I grew up in a household with both cats and dogs, and over the years, I learned a lot about taking care of these furry family members. I have been a mom to three dogs; one was a beagle that I witnessed being born, and the other two were rescues - a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a Black Lab mix. I have also had ten cats over the course of the past 40-plus years. After losing my Black Lab, Jesse, in 2012, I volunteered at a no-kill animal shelter in Western Mass. for several years. My time at the shelter provided me with invaluable experience, as I worked with a multitude of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Currently in Ptown, I am off from my teaching career for the summer. At this time, I do not have any pets here, and I thought this would be a great opportunity to help out fellow pet parents and travelers. Over the summer months, I have free time to watch, walk, or take care of your pet while you enjoy your vacation. Let me know how I can help! In my photos you will see some of the many variety of dogs that I have worked with over the past several years

Tara was of great service to our dog and to us. She came the day before to meet up with us and learn about the dog. She is kind, caring and very responsible. She's wonderful.

Tara was fantastic, I could tell she was caring and treated our princess Krissy with love and kindness. She shared daily picks, and was in touch when she noticed Krissy licking her paw constantly. I would highly recommend Tara!
