Pet sitting in Spencer

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Tara. I live in Spencer with my 2 cats, a golden retriever named Cane, and a French bulldog named Elsie. I graduated from Iowa Lakes with my vet tech degree in 2017 and shortly after graduating I started working at Homestead Small Animal Practice as a veterinary receptionist. I love my job and love seeing all of the happy faces. I have many years of pet sitting experience and love it! I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and cats with many medical needs. My services include drop in visits to let out, feed, and walk multiple times per day or having your pet stay with me in my home. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while in my care.

Tara took great care of our cat, Bella! She came ahead of time to meet Bella (and us) and they hit it off right away! She sent us pictures while she was with Bella and let us know how she was doing. We are very pleased to know about Rover and Tara! We will definitely ask Tara to come back when we need a cat sitter again!

I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for Tara's exceptional dog care services. She immediately responds with regular updates and pictures, accommodating my pet's needs during my move from Texas. Her dedication and professionalism make me wholeheartedly recommend her services to others. Thank you for providing top-notch care for my furry friend.

This was my first time leaving my baby girl Kora with anyone. Tara really assured me Kora was good with pictures and updates! I will definitely be being Kora back!
