Pet care experience

I have years of experience working with all kinds of pets, have been through various puppy and adult dog training, and do agility with our wonderfully behaved border collie. I love training and can focus on whatever skills you would like for your dog too, or practice their existing skillset. I am comfortable walking reactive and no reactive dogs alike, but prefer if I can walk yours with my dog as well. As we have a toddler in our home I do not take dogs that are reactive, have separation anxiety (barking/whining or destructive behaviours), or puppies that are not house broken and crate trained. For boarding, I'll take the dogs walking, swimming, and/or hiking. I enjoy training dogs and can work on whatever tricks or commands you want us to, or just hang out. We have a yard for play time, toys and food puzzles, some basic agility equipment, and we play games with our dog on the regular (hide and seek is our favourite!). I can handle complicated care/feeding instructions, and administering oral/topical meds or giving minor first aid.

We absolutely love Tara's photo updates, she has been wonderful to Leo. Potato has been a great companion to Leo as well.

Our pup had a fantastic time with Tara. Easy to communicate with, and worked with our schedule. Will use again

Tara was absolutely amazing, my dog was a bit shy and nervous at first and she went above and beyond to make him comfortable. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!

We are so lucky to have Tara taking care of our fur babies: Snoop and Belle. She is very punctual and responsible. Tara is very easy to get along as well as her son and her pup: Potato. My pups well behaved with Tara and happy to see her. I would highly recommend Tara to all my good friends.

We live in a quiet neighborhood near parks and trails. We will only visit the offleash dog park if recommended by the owner. I am currently on leave so can have frequent outings, play breaks/outside time, and in between can set them up with puzzles or each other for entertainment. If they don't settle down on their own I can use crates to ensure the dog(s) get some rest breaks during the day.
