Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Tara! I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter who treats every pet like family. As a proud United States Marine Corps veteran, I bring reliability, integrity, and attention to detail into everything I do. I have experience caring for dogs, cats and everything under the sun of all ages and personalities — from playful pups to seniors who need extra patience and care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, medication, or cuddle time, your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and loving, attentive care while you’re away. I’d love to meet you & your (furry, scaley or feathered) family member! 🐾 Operating Hours 8am - 7pm 7 Days a week I am available outside of those hours, but I do charge a fee of $20

Tara is the best. I can tell my cat is happy and comfortable with her. She sends good photos, she scoops the litter every day, and she is very dependable. Yay Tara!

Tara is the best. At first my cat was wolfing her food and throwing up, but Tara fixed it by giving her food at the beginning and end of her visit. My cat is so comfortable with Tara that she can pick her up. Win!
