Professional dog trainer boarding

I am a professional dog trainer and behavioralist. I have been doing this full time over the last 7 years and understand how frustrating it can be when you leave your dog at a sitter who doesn’t follow the feeding or training plan set forth. I love working with dogs and you may find that when you get your dog back, it may behave better than when you dropped it off lol! I hope to assist you with any pet sitting needs you may have. Young or old, small or big, pit or pug, I have it covered. I am trained in k9 cpr and also am very familiar with most k9 health and nutrition as well as grooming standards and needs. Please contact me anytime you and your family are going out of town. Your dog will be in the very best of hands and will be treated like one of my own! Thank you!

Very friendly, dog-loving family. Tara is a sweetheart. My 6yo boxer had a great time & will be back!

My fiancé and I had to find someone last minute and Tara was an absolute lifesaver. She took great care of our puppy, kept us updated, and made the whole process completely stress-free. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy care!

My husband and I were leaving for a trip to Cancun and needed a sitter for our 3yo Husky King. We did a trial meeting and within a short time he was comfortable with Tara in her home. Tara sent a few pics and videos of King making himself at home. He was happy to come home and we were happy to know he was in a safe place with someone to care for him. We would definitely leave our boy with Tara in the future.
