Highlights
Pet care experience
Enjoy taking care of fur babies
Hi! My name is Tara, I work for an education nonprofit here in Alexandria old town, I love dogs and cats:) live in a townhouse close to work, have a little backyard and deck, have some flexible time and would like to take care of cute fur babies. I’m super detail oriented and organized! Will provide good care and love. I’m pretty active, enjoy long walks and running. I also enjoy taking doggies to wineries and breweries if you like. I enjoy getting to know the doggies and work with families around the year for their travel plan. I live very close to Alexandria commons shopping mall, i enjoy working with neighbors around. Price negotiable depending on distance and service needed. **I usually have 1 or 2 doggies at home. Very rarely that I don’t have anyone. I have usual customers existing requests or sometimes last min request that I try to accommodate. Even though you might only do meet and greet with my dog and not necessarily meet every dog during your dog staying, I know most dogs very well, they come to me all year round or all summer round at least. I have capacity to separate doggies too if needed.

Ratings and reviews
Wonderful experience with Tara on such short notice! She ended up housesitting for our Aussie Shep and made sure our good girl was well taken care of ... lots of fetching and chilling. She provided ample amount of both pictures and communication of how things were going. I could not ask for a better experience with a dogsitter! I highly recommend Tara!
Tara took great care of Nala! She was great at communication and sent me pictures and videos throughout the weekend. Definitely recommend!
Tara was great with our pup! She was very responsive and sent many updates throughout the day. She took great care of our anxious dog.
Very responsive and reliable. Always feel good about leaving my cats in her care!
Tara was so kind to except our very last minute boarding for Murf. She sent several pics all through Murf’stay. We will definitely board Murf with her again. Thank you Tara❤️
Tara was a great help on our last trip when things went awry with our dog and our house. We were so grateful to have her on site, taking care of the issues. Thank you Tara!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I mostly work from home. When i go to work, i will go for 2-3 hours, usually one day per week. My husband Andrew go to work at 1pm. He has random days off, not always Sat and Sun. He helps me, tags along occasionally as well. (Please let me know if you prefer my care only:))
Pets
A typical day
I have a small backyard that doggies can play at. I enjoy walking the dogs in my neighborhood-around the pond and further into more quiet neighborhood.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatTara can host up to 4 pets per night
- I prefer not to take large energetic dogs just because of my not so big townhouse and my lab. That will require lots of energy and attention to watch. Small and medium size dogs and large calm dogs are fine. I would like know doggies's daily schedule, food, sleep habits, crate trained or able to be alone for a while, playfulness...
- These prices are for 1 dog.
