Pet care experience

Spoiling and Snuggling Alert!

I am a 41 year old teacher who is, and always will be, passionate about animals. I have cared for all types of animals ranging from bunnies to horses! This being said- my heart has always belonged to dogs. When you enlist me to care for your animal I can promise you the best experience money can buy. As a pet owner I know how hard it is to leave them, and I can assure you that they will be cared for as if they are my own. Thank you for trusting me with your pet’s care. Please message me if you have any questions! I look forward to working with your beloved pet.

Tara was awesome. She sent lots of pics & updates. Kylo looked so happy! He's on medications, has food allergies, needs a long walk daily , & we are very attached to each other. Tara took such good care of & gave him all the luv he needed while I was away. I will definitely book her again.

Tara and Phil were absolutely perfect! They treated our baby exactly like she was one of the family. They took her out for fun adventures and sent us multiple picture/video updates daily. They even bought her her own veil to wear when her pawrents got married. I cannot say enough positive things about them. We were so relieved to have such amazing people care for our baby while we were away getting married! I would HIGHLY recommend them! ❤️

Tara is amazing! My small dog Pebbles stayed with her and her wonderful family for a long weekend and looked like she had the best time. She went for walks on the beach, enjoyed a fire pit, went to a craft fair and even got to snuggle in their bed! It truly was her home away from home. When a family members pet care fell through, Tara happily took in another dog and made my aunt feel at ease. We were able a enjoy a family wedding while our dogs were safe and sound! I would 10/10 recommend Tara to anyone!

I would like to know the following: What flea/tick medication is your animal on, is your dog aggressive (leash/people/other dogs), does it have a medical requirement, is it potty trained, is it okay to roam the home freely-if not, can you provide a crate?
