Information Tara D. would like to know about your pet

No two pets are the same, so please let me know what your pet enjoys to do, if they have any special dietary needs or restrictions, and if I can bring treats.

A typical day

I love to match the energy of the animals I am caring for. If they want/need exercise, we play. If they are chill, I give lots of pets and belly rubs.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was in middle school and grew up with horses at my grandfather'shouse. As an adult, I have spent time working in a Vet Clinic in the boarding facility. I loved working with the boarders and the strays that came in. I also have the joy of helping take care of our in house ferrets, lizards, and birds. Currently I have 3 dogs and 3 cats, all rescues. Including a diabetic kitty who takes daily insulin. I am comfortable with providing injections, chaging pet diapers, and snuggling all sizes of fur babies.

Tara was very nice and easy to communicate with, did a great job checking in on our kitties and sending sweet pictures so we could see that they were well (even when that meant needing to lay down to see where they were hiding under the bed 😂)

This was our 2nd time using Tara. She does a wonderful job at each visit. It makes me feel so at ease knowing she takes such good care of our pets. I will definitely use her every time I go out of town.

Tara was easy to communicate with and punctual with visits. She took good care of our pets when we were gone for a short weekend.

This was my first time using Rover. Obviously I was nervous at first, but that quickly went away. My pets warmed up to Tara and the drop in visits went great. She did an amazing job, and I will definitely use her again in the future!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
