Information Tara G. would like to know about your pet

It's helpful to know if you pup will need medication while they are here. If your pup is an escape artist we would want to know and prepare for that prior to your stay :)

A typical day

We do lots of play in our backyard. We have a kiddy pool we like to bring out for the water babies. We have lots of toys and have time throughout the day to play fetch with our dogs and guest pups!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs my whole life. We have 3 of our own, a husky, husky/Shepherd, and a rescue husky mix. They love to run and play all day. They are very sweet and friendly and haven't met a dog they didn't like. We have a turfed fenced back yard. Dogs that visit always have room to play inside and outside. The ones that love snuggles and relaxing get to relax inside while the pups play outside. We don't have kids but love to treat our dogs and guest dogs as our fur babies! We love to open our home to guest dogs for our pups to continue to socialize with others and make new friends. I have experience with senior dogs as well as puppies and welcome all ages! We had a Boston terrier for almost 14 years who passed of old age. We helped her live a long, happy, and healthy life while providing her with support she needed as she aged. We love little dogs as much as the big ones!

Great first time experience with Rover and leaving our pup overnight. Tara was gracious to accept our short notice week-long booking over the holiday. We appreciated her updates and photos and loved seeing our Teddy having fun with her doggos. Tara was great, thanks again!!

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.
