Tara was great! She kept us posted with all day activities. She sent our dog home happily with a cute little toy. We’ll definitely book her again!

Tara Desmond has taken care of our pet for over 10 years. When we first got frost at 3 months, our family husky was sick. After taking him to the vet, we found out he was allergic to every kind of food except duck and sweet potato. Over time we tried fish and he was ok. He has been on a strict diet all his life, however Tara would cook fresh Salmon and sweet potatoes for him to eat. Tara would bathe him herself, feed him home made food,, walk him 4 times a day. Tara has always had a love of animals and always wanted to work with animals. It's a wonderful she found herself working with people instead.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a mother to an energetic 8 year old, so walking, running, and staying attentive in an open community are a natural part of the care I provide. Most importantly, your dog will always feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

A typical day

With 3 years of dog sitting experience, I enjoy taking pets on fun walks, playing fetch, and keeping them active with games they love. I also spend quality time bonding through gentle training, cuddles, and interactive toys to keep them happy and comfortable. 🐾

My husky, who meant the world to me, passed away on Super Bowl Sunday February 2024, leaving behind countless memories and a forever place in my heart. Caring for dogs has been and is especially meaningful to me, as I treat every pet with the same love.
