Pet care experience

Teacher by day, dog mom by night.

I rescued my senior yorkie and he is my soul dog. He comes with issues due to his age so I do make adjustments to help him! I also got my pitbull as a puppy and was able to train him ! They both have very different needs and I juggle both their ability levels on walks together and make sure to spread play with both of them! This makes me qualified to work with breeds and dogs of all ages. I also grew up in a cat household and am comfortable taking care of them and playing with them as well! Through rover I’ve gotten so much experience finding ways to administer different meds to pets and many belly rubs/head scratches!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, I live in an apartment so most of the time outside with my two dogs is on walks throughout the neighborhood! I have never had one of my pets run off, and keep the leash looped on my hand tightly. Loosing one of my babies is always my biggest fear so I would never risk that for any animal. I also tend to keep a close eye on my two dogs in case they get territorial over toys so they are never left 100% alone. This is the same care and love I can offer to others!

Elite sitter and super considerate of our dog’s disability. Would love to have Tara care for Toe again in the future!

I was very nervous to leave for a long period of time as both my cats are very shy but also seek affection. My worries on day 1 was put to rest as both my cats could sense Tara was safe and willing to meet them as their comfort level. I am very impressed as she got my historically very shy and timid cat to anyone but me to become her lap cat. Her daily reports and adorable photos was very appreciated!

Tara was great! She provided the perfect amount of updates and spent time playing with the kitties. She made things run smoothly - it was easy to know everything was in good hands while we were away. Thanks Tara!

My dog can get extra difficult due to how anxious she gets, but Tara was so patient with her and took such great care of her! She really went above and beyond to make sure my dog was all good. All of the information and pictures she provided with each visit were reassuring that my dog was doing just fine while I was gone. Thank you Tara!

Tara was fantastic. She looked after our special medical needs dog while we were gone for a week. We had total peace of mind and she did a wonderful job.

Tara took great care of our cat for the weekend! He can be very shy, but she clearly won him over immediately and we felt a lot better knowing that he was happy and playing while we were gone. Our apartment was in perfect condition when we came back. Working with Tara was extremely easy - she was very communicative!
