Information Tara F. would like to know about your pet

What do they love to do? Do they have any allergies or specific requests? Do they get along well with other dogs? What is their favourite toy?

A typical day

Linley Valley off Rock City Road has alot of different beautiful mossy forested trails leading all over Nanaimo. We usually would go there, as it's close and accessible to my place. But, I am also aware of many other forest or ocean walks across the city that we will also get to explore. The options are limitless.

Pet care experience

Hello, My name is Tara! I am a customer service representative and dancer on the side, and I'm also a huge animal lover! I’ve always grown up surrounded by so many pets which makes me so compassionate towards every fur baby; I have a sense for dogs especially. I had a 13 year old Miniature Schnauzer/Terrier for almost 10 years who has passed on December of 2021. He was my life. Now I vicariously live through the fur babies I get to spend time with and spoil my favourite little frenchie niece! My favourite thing to do is go out and find new and exciting spots to hike on beautiful Vancouver Island. I've pet sat for a lot of family and friends when they’ve gone out of town. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family!

Tara is absolutely fantastic! She was exceedingly communicative, flexible, and kind. She very clearly cares about the pets she is looking after and does whatever she can to make sure they are comfortable with her. We have a very energetic and excitable puppy, and she did fabulous with him. So grateful for her care. Highly recommend!

Thank you again Tara for taking such good care of Sydney. After her first meeting with you she was excited to see you each time. That says it all! And thanks also for leaving everything clean and tidy <3
