Safety, trust & environment

I require a meet and greet for you, your pup, and the house that we will be working together in. A sense of security & safety for both parties to know it is a good fit is at the top of my list.

Information Tara D. would like to know about your pet

I like to know ahead of time how your dog does with strangers, other dogs, how they walk on leash and any hyperfixations or trainings that are working. Honesty and transparency on where your dog is will get us to a balanced visit in no time.

A typical day

Relaxing and non stressful situations are what I give to your pup. We can go for walks, pay attention to the new sights and smells, or toss a ball around but if your dog needs someone just to reassure that they’re okay, i’m your sitter. I love sending daily pupdates!

Trustworthy Dog Mama

Pet care experience

“Can I pet that dog?!” I’ve many years of caring for both big and small, grounded, anxious, and in between puppers. My ultimate goal is a healthy, safe, and calm wellbeing of your bestfriend while you’re away. Fostering for elderly, bully breeds, & high energy (husky stuff) has kept me on my toes and taught me plenty. I can dispense meds or learn, ie diabetics, bandage change, Bailey chairs, senior needs. Multi dog household and nervous leash walker experience.

Tara was great! I booked her for in home pet sitting while I was out of town and things went very well. My dog got great care, and looks like she had plenty of fun while I was out. Would definitely book again and would also highly recommend Tara to others.

Tara did a fabulous job house and puppy sitting for me. She gave daily updates including photos, videos and messages about my 3 dogs. When I returned my house was spotless!! I was very impressed with the care she provided and have already booked her for my next trip.

Tara was incredible with our pups! She asked all the right questions before her stay and then treated my dogs exactly like we do while we were gone. I never for a moment worried about the dogs or my house for the week we were gone. She's amazing and we are so lucky to have found her.
