Ready to spoil your fur babies!

I have had animals my whole life, and love to LOVE them! I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and spoil them while you are away. Dogs: We only take one doggy from Rover at a time, so they get allllllll the love, affection, and attention. We do a minimum of 2 walks a day, plus lots of playtime and cuddles. I also send a ton of photos, so you always know what we are up to and how things are going. Cats: Kitties get all the cuddles, pets, and playtime! I also freshen food, wash and refill water bowls, and clean litter boxes. I also send lots of photos so you can see how our playtime is going.

Tara was amazing, as always! She is so thorough when she checks in on my two cats. On top of the essentials, she always puts in the extra effort to play with both of them and show them some extra love! I highly recommend Tara 😊

Tara is always amazing when she drops in on my two cats while I’m away. She is very reliable and never misses a step. On top of that, she’s great at giving my cats love and attention and at playing with my younger cat who loves extra attention. I highly recommend Tara — she’s the absolute best!

Tara did such a good job taking care of my girls while I was out of town. I know they got so much love and it gave me peace of mind while I was gone!

Tara never disappoints! Another wonderful booking during which she dropped in on my two cats for four days while I was away. She’s always great about refreshing their water, feeding them, and scooping their litter. Best of all, she gives my kitties lots of love and play time. My older cat likes Hgo keep his distance because he’s slow to warm up to people, and I love how Tara respects his space but also offers to show him attention with treats and such. Thank you Tara!

Schedule

I work Monday - Friday, with remote flexibility. We typically do a morning, noon, and nighttime walk. When my girls are home from school, they give non-stop pets and cuddles and playtime. Overall, I am very open to working with what you need and making sure that your pet is comfy and feels safe and secure while they are with me. For drop in care (dogs or cats), I am flexible to your schedule and preferences.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a giant yard that backs up to a huge open park. My home is free range for your pets, welcome on furniture and beds. Care for your pet will depend on their specific needs—I can be as active or lazy/cuddly as needed! For clients utilizing walking services, I can go as long or short as needed; walking and/or running is available.

A typical day

Dogs: Depending on what type of care your pup is looking for we can relax and cuddle, or get lots of activity (dog parks, fetch, walks, you name it)! Unless requested otherwise, we do a minimum of two walks per day, plus lots of love and playtime with my girls. Cats: Lots of petting, cuddling and playing! Beyond food and water, I also take care of litter duty while you are away.
