Pet care experience
**I have no dog breed restrictions** Your pet's wellbeing is worth more than anything, especially when you are away and need peace of mind. I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 13. I have had several cats and dogs growing up, and they all have lived very long and happy lives. I have raised feral kittens to become loving household family cats. I have also taken care of cows, horses, alpacas, birds, and exotic pets. I have experience taking care of my own pets and also taking care of others. I have a very soft spot for animals of all kinds. I have potty trained kittens and puppies. Just show me where the cleaning products are and I am good to go! I have experience taking care of anxious pets so I know what to do to calm them down and minimize their anxiety. Experience with senior dogs and cats. I have seen it all throughout my years of experience, so I will be able to handle anything that comes my way! ***Pet Medical Experience*** I volunteered at a pet clinic for a year, where I gained experience with giving oral medications and injections to cats and dogs. I have also taken care of pets that were post-op surgery. I am comfortable with cleaning and removing bandages. Your pet is in the best care possible outside of an animal hospital.
Reviews
Tara was great with our dog and cat!
Tara stayed and watched our dog and cat during the holidays this year. She was a terrific communicator and gave us lots of pictures daily! We highly recommend Tara for pet sitting or house sitting as both were in amazing condition upon return :) ! She will make sure both your pets and you are comfortable when you have to spend time away from each other.
Tara has taken exceptional care of our 13-year-old dog on multiple visits. She's responsible, reliable, and highly communicative, which is all one could ask for in a sitter.
Tara D. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
About Tara D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I usually take care of people's pets in their home by staying over-night at the house. I also do dog walking or casual drop-ins at the house. I also offer pet sitting during the day without staying at the owner's house at night. Whatever your preference is.
Information Tara D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for when trying to book with me. The more communication the better! I have no breed restrictions. I accept all dog breeds. I have worked with a wide variety of breeds so I understand temperaments and the type of allergies that they may get.
A typical day
I can't wait to hang out with your pets!!! When we hang out, they will become my best friends for the foreseeable future. I know a few parks that are dog friendly that the dog would enjoy. I also know some hiking trail areas that are dog friendly. Let me know if your dog likes to play fetch or do water activities. We are going to have a grand adventure!
Services
Tara can watch in your home
Availability
Your pets will get lots of attention!! I work fully remote which gives me plenty of time to play with the puppies and the kitties on weekdays and/or weekends. Working remotely, I am able to attend to cats or dogs that require special attention. Another good thing is that I am a very clean person so I clean up after myself. *** For Housesitting, please read*** I am not able to give 24/7 attention to your pet. I typically do not leave the house for more than 4 to 5 hours when running errands. I will of course stay overnight and make sure your pet is loved on and give them the best care imaginable, but I also need to take care of things in my personal and work life for a few hours. My services are of the highest quality, so I will gladly work with you for any of your special needs. I am flexible, reliable and communicative. If you have a pet that requires extra attention due to medical reasons where I would have to stay at the house as much as possible then please let me know and I could make that accommodation.
