Pet care experience
Dogs are my best friends! I have been a caretaker for my own dogs for over 40 years, including those who are rescue, elderly and special needs. I have been involved in dog rescue for 15 years. I am a dog lover in every sense of the word. I also had a special needs cat I rescued for 15 years and love kitties too! I am a responsible professional who works from home and loves to dog sit in order to spend time with dogs and to help me pay off my student loans from my MBA degree. Plus there is nothing better than getting to hang out with dogs all day! :) I work 100% remotely so I am very flexible and around a lot. I am available for check in visits, walks, dog park visits, or your pup can stay with my pups and I. I have been working with Rover since 2017 so my pups and I are very experienced with the process and how to make your pet feel at home whether we are watching them at our house or I am checking in on your babies at your home. I make homemade pup muffins (organic natural peanut butter, whole wheat flour, and organic pumpkin purée) and have organic chicken jerky treats to pass out. Both of my pups are spayed and vaccinated. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I like to start my day early and can do check ins as late at 10pm. I have a 8 ft block fenced secure yard and a very dog friendly house. I also live in a safe neighborhood near many dog parks.
Reviews
Tara did an awesome job coming over to our house and watching our cat! She provided great updates and photos!
Tara did a great job with my dogs. My dogs have special needs, and she was amazing with them! I felt so relaxed and happy all weekend knowing my babies were in good hands.
Tara took care of our elderly beagle as if she were her own pet. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you.
Tara is always awesome. I felt like my Dogs were in good hands and treated like their own. Very easy to coordinate Drop off and Pick up.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a small yard and while my dogs have dog door access they rarely go outside without my supervision. When watching other people’s pets I treat them as my own with the up most attention, respect, kindness, care and love.
Information Tara D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know what I can do to help your dog feel secure and comfortable while you are away. I have no breed preferences -- I love all dogs! I would also like to know what I can do to help you feel comfortable while you are away so that you can enjoy your vacation! I send a lot of pictures and can provide updates throughout the day.
A typical day
I can walk around your neighborhood, visit local parks, take walks around my safe neighborhood in South Tempe or I can also take trips to the dog park if that is something your dog will enjoy! I love play time and cuddles and am also good with active dogs as I walk several miles a day. I also used to have 70 pound pit bull mix I would walk daily (she lives with my exhusband now) so I can handle a big dog. During check ins I'm happy to bring in mail, newspapers and packages, turn on/off lights, etc. to make your home look lived in.
