Love Love Love animals

Pet care experience

Hi there! I love animals and have a cat. I’m not able to have a dog where I live but would if I could. I enjoy caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Being with animals brings me so much joy and peace. I’ve been a pet sitter for about 3 years. I have taken care of cats and dogs of all temperaments and some with a history of trauma. I am able to slowly win their trust and some people have said that they are surprised how quickly their animal feels safe with me. I have some experience in dog training and am able to handle dogs of all levels of energy.

Tara is amazing. My dog, Luka, trusted her from the moment he met her. She is so good with him! She came to check in on Luka and take him for walks while I was at work. It was such peace of mind to know he was well taken care of. I am so happy to have found her and will 100% be booking her in again in the future! Thank you Tara!!!

Tara is patient, dependable, and takes the time to give extra care to both Brody the cat and me, the human! I hired her to care for my elderly mother's elderly cat during a family health crisis, and the care she provided was a huge load off my mind during a stressful time. Highly recommend working with her!
