Pet care experience
I rescued my senior yorkie and he is my soul dog. He does come with issues with his age so I do make adjustments in his food to help him! I also got my pitbull as a puppy and was able to potty 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!
Reviews
Thank you Tara! great job I appreciate it
Tara was excellent, responsive, timely, and very professional. Our dogs loved her visits while we were away! Would book again for any trip!
We reached out to Tara again for a last minute drop in as we were at all day events this whole weekend. Tara was very flexible in checking in on our little guy we totally recommend!
Tara is so attentive to my Rahini girl and gave her the love and resources she needed while I was away.

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 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!! I love letting them sniff all of the areas and take out time! Because smelling for the dogs is important brain activity for them! My own pets like to play chase so I like to run around with them and get their energy out! I also love cuddling with pets and getting nose kisses!

Availability
During the school year I will still be able to assist before and after school and late into the evenings. I also am always home on weekends! Information for house sitting: I can be available to take care of your pet all day and evening on the weekends! I will need 8 hours during the night to sleep in my home since I also have two pups at home to take care of. However, I can be there to care of your pet first thing in the morning, during the day, and take care of their needs right before they go to sleep!
