About Tara F.
Communication
Skills
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!
Information Tara F. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has special diet concerns, or behavioral concerns I should look out for ! Also any favorite things your pet loves that I could bring or make sure I do to make them super happy!
A typical day
My favorite time of day are walks with my dogs or playing with wand toys with kitties! !! I love letting pups sniff all of the areas and take our time! Because smelling for the dogs is important brain activity for them! And wand toys help kitties get needed energy out and it’s so silly to watch. My own pets like to play chase so I like to run around with them. I also love cuddling with pets and getting nose kisses!

Pet care experience
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!
Cat care experience

Tara was great! She sent detailed recaps and photos after each visit. It was comforting to know our cat was well taken care of while we were away!
