Safety, trust & environment

Each visit I’ll make sure the pet has fresh water and a safe environment. We’ll play and exercise and I’ll make sure your pet gets affection, attention and any customization they require such as medications, training or grooming.

Information Tara G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs I can account for. I’ll be sure to customize play and exercise according to your dog’s needs.

A typical day

Different dogs have different preferences and energy levels, so I’ll be sure to tailor activities to your dog's individual needs and abilities. I always prioritize safety and make sure your dog is comfortable and enjoying the activity. We’ll explore the neighborhood and nearby trails and I’ll be sure to add some surprises to stimulate their brain and learn some new commands. Perhaps play a little fetch, tug, and scale obstacles along the way.

Tara is WONDERFUL!!!! We went out of town for 5 days, leaving our elder kitties in her capable hands. We will definitely be rebooking her next time we need a sitter!!! I can't recommend Tara enough. She cared for our cats and tended to their elder-cat quirks, keeping them happy and fed well. We thank you so much, Tara!!! All our best, Brooke and Will and Captain and Scout 😊😊😺😺
