I decided to take a break from working full time, and this is my only job right now. Coming from working 12 hours a days, I understand the guilt that goes along with that for pet parents. I'm happy to step in where you can't!

Information Tara C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any specific needs that should be addressed with your pup. I'm happy to work with them on any behavioral changes or tweeks you are looking to make.

Whether its going for long walks, or playing fetch in the yard, I always look for things to do that will engage your pup best. If there are commands that are already used or that you are working on with your pup, I will make sure to be that reinforcement.

Geriatric dog mom.

Pet care experience

I have been a pet owner since I brought my first dog home at 12yo and told my parents "they said we could keep her overnight to see if we liked her. We currently have three dogs, and my roommate has two. I truly believe that people don't deserve dogs, they are the best!

Wow is all I can say about Tara. I have 2 very large over energetic dogs. Tara was so kind, loving and patient. My pups bonded with her immediately and I had no worries what-so-ever with leaving them in her care. I recommend Tara without restervation - you would be lucky to have her care for your furry family!

Tara has been taking care of my dogs for the past 8 years and has done a fantastic job! She has walked, fed, administered meds to them and has even watched them on short notice for me when I've had to go out of town. Highly recommended!
