Your dog’s new best friend!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and horses my entire life. Over the years I have also cared for cats, fish, chickens, and even a lizard. I have the energy to play with puppies but can also adapt services for older animals and give medication if necessary. Let me know what your pet needs and we can make something work 😊

Tara was wonderful with my senior golden. She sent pictures during here stay and communicated well with me. I will definitely seek her out again for services. I felt at ease on my work trip with her sitting for Mandy while I was gone.
