Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Tara. I am 31 years old. I am a stay at home mom but they are homeschooled. so, I have a lot of time on my hands. I am also a avid animal lover. I would love to take your dog for a walk or swing by just to spend some quality time with your fur baby. I love all dogs, big or small. We can go to the park and play catch. I can house him/her and they will have a blast. I can stop by your home to let them out and rub their belly. I'm sure your fur baby will have lots of fun with me. I do not have a fenced yard but there is a huge dog park where I live. I an able to administer medication and accommodate special needs. I have 2 older children and they love to play with all animals. I look forward to discussing your personal needs for your pet. I do not accept aggressive dogs regardless of breed. 3% of my profits are donated to Animal Rescue of the Rockies.

Tara arrived promptly and took our dog Magda on a great walk; I can tell because Magda arrived home happy and tired. Magda is a good judge of character and she nuzzled Tara playfully as she left, so I know Tara has the soul of an animal-lover.

DO NOT TRUST TARA WITH YOUR ANIMALS!!! I have never met a more incompetent dog sitter in my entire life. I booked Tara 3 months prior to the time I needed my dog watched, during thanksgiving no less, and began contacting her 2 weeks before again just to confirm the booking. I was by no means rude with a max of one text per day. I didn’t realize it was so challenging to respond to your booked clients (it’s not you just have to pick up your phone), and as a first time Rover user I was hesitant to ever use the platform again. Fortunately I was able to find another sitter last minute, despite an exorbitant sir-charge for the late nature of the booking. Tara reflects horribly on the entire Rover organization. If Rover even remotely cares about the integrity of their brand they should ban untrustworthy sitters like Tara from the platform. Again, never trust your animals with Tara, you will likely find yourself incredibly frustrated with her terrible customer service.

Tara and her family were so nice to Rohara. Rohara was a bit difficult at first (she is a puppy and still learning to perfect her potty training), and Tara was very polite when handling this. Rohara was with Tara for a week, and when I picked her up at the end of the week, she seemed to love everyone in Tara's household. I would recommend Tara for anyone needing care for their dog. She and her husband are clearly animal lovers and are very nice people.

We go on walks to the park. We can go to the dog park. Or we can cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie. We can play with all of their toys or lots of belly rubs. My attention is all theirs.
