Hi! I'm Tara! I'm the gal that will stop everything if I see your dog in public to ask if I can give them some pets. Since I'm on Rover to love on your dogs, it probably goes without saying that I've loved dogs my entire life. My parents owned two Goldens while I was growing up. I assisted in taking both of them to puppy obedience school, where I learned the importance of positive reinforcement in training dogs - a practice I still hold very important today. I have owned 3 dogs that have since crossed the rainbow bridge. I adopted a 13-year-old Redtick Coonhound named Clyde in February 2023 and he's my heart and soul. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs, no discrimination here! :) I've also been a volunteer dog walker at the Spokane Humane Society. I love exercise and being outdoors - a good fit for being a dog walker! I know how hard it is to trust your dog(s) to someone new, so I'm happy to meet you prior to the walk or drop-by visit to ensure everything goes smoothly. I'm here to make your life easier!
