I feel very comfortable leaving Pie with Tara and her family. Tara is fantastic! She’s responsive, organized and checks in with photos every day. I know Pie is in good hands with her and she has the cutest dog to provide a playmate for your dog.

Tara is so attentive and kind - my dog has ongoing issues with his paw and allergies and I was so grateful to know that she kept a close eye on him while I had to be away.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood in a single family home with a fenced yard. Plenty of time and ample sidewalks and trees for walks. Because I do accept up to 2 dogs from unrelated families, on a case-by-case basis, I do require that dogs are up-to-date on the following four vaccinations: Up-to-date on the following three vaccinations: Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Bordetella.
