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.
Reviews
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.

Safety, trust & environment
Depending on the time alottment for this visit, I can do some basic training or playtime with your dog at your home, or focus on walking and getting energy out if that's what they need. At my home, your dog will get all the love and attention our guy gets, and lots of playtime. We do food puzzles and various enrichment activities, as well as training (basic obedience and using outdoor small agility equipment). I can also bathe and/or brush agreeable dogs, the same as I would my own.
Home
Information Tara C. would like to know about your pet
Dogs need to be toddler and dog friendly, house trained, and up to date on all vaccinations if they are coming over to our home.
A typical day
Basic obedience training, offleash play in the backyard, enrichment (toys, puzzles, snuffle mats), walks around my calm/quiet neighborhood, to glen lake for a swim, and/or run at Colwood Creek park (all depending on recommendations from owner and how the dog handles each situation).
Services
Tara can host
Tara can watch in your home
Availability
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.
