Pet care experience

All animals deserve to be loved!

I take pride in the love I have for furry animals. I have grown up with dogs in my family from birth, just as new generations of family are born so are pets. I have two pit bulls currently, Sonny and Cher, and a cat, Bowie, that I love very dearly. I have grown up with dogs as big as a Great Dane and and small as a Yorkie. My childhood dog was a golden lab mix and a chocolate lab, but my aunts and uncles have raised all types of dogs together. I’m a high energy person so I really enjoy playful snuggly dogs. I genuinely look forward to loving your pet, as my own. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions of concerns.

Tara's become our go-to over the last year and a half for taking care of our two cats, Ichigo and Freya. She's been amazing accommodating our super shy cat and keeps our bird feeders full and plants watered too. We have every intention of keeping Tara as our sitter for as long as she continues to do pet sitting.10/10

Tara was such a pleasure. Her communication is exceptional. The dogs were so loved and snuggled. The house looked amazing when we got home! Loved her!❤️

Tara stayed with our dog Winnie for a week while we were away. Tara did an amassing job. Took Winnie for Dayley walks and showed her lots of love. We have Tara booked in October for a few days. We can't wait to see her again and we know our little Winnie can't either. We are very glad to have found Tara and hope to use her again next June for our week getaway. Tara is very personable and we very glad to have met her and to hopefully to book her again, Thank You Tara!!!!!! Nora & Joe C.

Tara was AMAZING with our 2 pups and my daughter’s 2 pups! She sent pictures, informed me daily of their activities and their sleeping schedules. My house was left in tip top shape. She even washed the dogs bedding!!! Tara thank you sooo much for putting our minds at ease while we were gone for a week! You definitely went the extra mile and we are so grateful!!!!

Tara was extremely professional and took good care of our babies while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond: she brought our packages upstairs, kept our porch plants watered and our outside bird feeder filled (so our cats would have their "tv") We came home to happy plants, happy cats and happy birds. Thank you again!

This is the second time we’ve booked with Tara. She went above and beyond cleaning the cat’s dishes and helping pick up around our house after a raccoon made a mess. Our skittish cat has also really taken a liking to Tara which we are very happy about!
