Pet care experience

I love all dogs like my own!

I have been a dog mom for most of my life and my animals are like my babies. I spoil and love every dog in my care. I have been walking my neighbor's dogs on and off for 8 years. While you are away, I can guarantee that your dogs will receive only the best care either in my home or yours. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds and I am very patient will more nervous personalities. I am always the go to person for a my friends to watch their fur babies while at work or out of town and I cannot wait to add yours to the mix. I am always quick to answer calls and texts and am fully willing to answer any questions before, during and after you hire me. I am so excited to meet you and your fur babies and cannot wait to start using this new venue to find new clients and friends.

Tara has done such a nice job walking Mollie and taking care of her. I highly recommend Tara. She follows instructions and is so patient and kind. Thank you so much, Tara!

We know our dog is in great hands with Tara. He is happy when we drop him off, and just as happy when we pick him up. She sends us updates daily, complete with pictures.

Tara takes great care of Odin, and sends daily pictures so that I can see he's doing good. Odin loves going to Tara's house. I know he's in good hands with her and her family.

Booked with Tara again, and yet again she gave my young lab plenty of exercise and love! She communicated daily and raised all questions/concerns she had. My dog came back happy and tired!

Tara was great! We were nervous about leaving our dog as we haven't boarded him in a few years. She sent us daily updates and photos, which helped reassure us that he was doing good. We will definitely be boarding with Tara again.

YES, you should book with Tara! Our Hutch is a GSP. If you know the breed, you know they are busy. I was nervous Hutch would be too much, and Tara put me at ease. She was more than willing to have a meet and greet before the stay so she could meet Hutch, and we could see how he would interact with her dog Hoyt. All went well. Tara sent several photos during Hutch's stay, and was super at communicating. It all gave me a sense of relief. Hutch was treated like family. Again, YES you should book with Tara. We will again.
