Enjoy taking care of fur babies

Pet care experience

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.

Tara always does an amazing job! She is on time and very respectful. Our dogs love her and even our cat who hides from most people comes out when she is around! She has been our Rover for a couple different time and we will continue to have her check in our our fur babies;

Information Tara G. would like to know about your pet

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...

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.
