Fur Lovers with a Fenced in Yard!

First and foremost, we did not enter the dog-sitting game for the money. We travel frequently and have fought the uphill battle of finding people worthy of watching our pups without breaking the bank. Our prices are low (and will remain so!) because we know the pain of paying as much for boarding as you do your entire vacation. Our priority is providing great service for dog-lovers with a smaller budget. We would love the opportunity to provide your pup with the same care we seek and treasure when we are out of town. We currently have 4 rescue dogs - Ruby Soho (Pit/Lab Mix), Dazee Mae-Hem (Staffy/Boston Mix ), Pawlie Pocket (Chorkie), and Hazel Byron (Bossipoo). We absolutely adore our kids and have basically handed our home and yard over to them. Our dogs are quite social and love having company to romp and cuddle with. There are NO dog free zones in our home. Dogs are encouraged to snuggle, snooze, and snore on all surfaces. Our yard is completely enclosed and is well shaded. We have a puppy pool in the Summer and plenty of room to play. Please keep in mind that although we work from home, pick-up and drop-off times may be affected. We try our hardest to accommodate all requests, but unfortunately clients and conference calls are a priority! :)

Tara and Bryan took great care of my two aussies, as they always do. My girls love going there and get tons of loving while there. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a sitter!!

Tara and Bryan took amazing care of my little Maltipoo, and I couldn’t be happier. My dog came home so happy and clearly got lots of playtime, attention, and love. They were accommodating, communicative, and made everything completely stress-free. I would absolutely recommend them. 🐶❤️

Tara and Bryan are the best dogsitters ever!! My 2 aussies had a BLAST during their 5-day stay. Tara sent me consistent updates with tons of pics of them cuddling, playing, and running around in their awesome fenced backyard. I can tell these two clearly love dogs and take great care, and I would be so happy to have them babysit again in the future.

Tara and Bryan are absolutely amazing! We trusted them with our fur babies for a couple of days while we were away, and they went above and beyond. Their home has an incredible, fully fenced-in yard where our girls could run, roam, and explore safely. They were welcomed onto the furniture and even got to sleep with the humans—just like they do with us—so it truly felt like home for them. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were treated like family. We would absolutely recommend Tara and Bryan to anyone looking for loving, trustworthy pet care. We’re already looking forward to having our girls stay with them again whenever we can! 🐾❤️

Tara and her husband (and pups) are simply incredible. I found Tara on Rover a few short weeks before my vacation when my initial puppy sitting plans had fallen through at the last minute. Not only did my pup get along with their pups, but it was clear that Tara and her husband would be taking my pup in as their own during our meet and greet. After the meet and greet, I couldn’t wait to bring my pup back, as it felt like she would be getting a vacation of her own! Tara sent daily updates, pictures, and videos. She was prompt with her responses and I can’t wait until I go on vacation again because I will most definitely be leaving my pup with them! I even jokingly told Tara we may need to work out some kind of custody agreement because my pup has clearly bonded and became best buds with all of their pups as well ? If you want to have an absolute worry-free vacation away from your pup, the home of Tara, her husband, and their pups is the perfect place! ? Highly, highly recommend!!!

We accept any and all. Two of our dogs are high energy and we therefore know how hard a sitter can be to find for them. We have had a little firecracker, so we know how demanding and dramatic a smaller dog can be as well.....and we willingly submit to all their desires. Mainly, we just need to know your pup's bad habits....and let's face it, they all have some! If you've got a floor pooper, let us know. We'll incorporate more potty breaks. Got a chewer? Give me a heads up so I can hide my shoes! Your best friend a dumpster diver, leg humper, fence hopper?....Please make us aware. We truly want to provide the best care for your furkid while they are with us. The more knowledge you can arm us with, the better prepared we are to make their vacation (as well as yours) the smoothest it can be :) ** Please be aware that if your dog (male or female) exhibits dominant behavior in the form of mounting, we will be unable to house them. Although we know this is a behavior that cannot always be explained or helped, one of our personal pets has zero tolerance for it and can get anxious to the point of aggression if it persists. For both our dog's safety as well as yours, we will be unable to assist. **
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
