Animals are everything!

Pet care experience

I have had all kinds of animals since I was ten. I have had hedgehogs, ferrets, dogs, cats, turtles and fish. I took classes to get my Rottweiler certified as a therapy dog. I am at a dog park 4-5 days a week and am in constant contact with dogs. I fostered a cat for a friend for 8 months. I have watched dogs during the day and overnight for friends and family. I want the pet owners I work with to feel confident with me working with their pet and in their home.

Tara is an excellent pet sitter! We’re so happy we trusted her with our dog and cat over 4th of July weekend. She played with them and sent detailed updates. Upon return, our fur babies were happy and well taken care of.

Tara's love for animals and especially dogs is second to none. She spent time learning and studying them along with classes on some of the most effective training methods. Her care and empathy is abundantly apparent when you watch her interact with dogs. I would trust her with any pet for top notch care.

I need to make sure I know all of the details about your pet/pets. I am very organized as far as medications, feedings or bathroom issues. I am willing to do anything depending on what the pet owner requests.

Information Tara D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know all of the information. Over communication is key. Animals have specific needs and different things about environments that they can be sensitive to. I want to know every detail so our experience together is awesome!

A typical day

I love to make sure animals get the exercise and stimulation they need depending on their breed and the owners expectations. I want to make sure I leave the visit with the pet happy as well as the owner.
