Pet care experience

Animal advocate, Animal lover

I am a RN who is a lover of everything humane, not only do I care for the pediatric population, but for animals as well. I was raised with animals & have grown up with them my entire life. I was also once a owner of a special needs pet, "Shep" as a child. My love for pets has grown deeper into my adulthood which has sparked my interest in becoming a pet sitter. I work from home, which makes me an ideal candidate. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care your "kids", and how much trust plays a huge factor in selecting the "perfect" individual. My family and I which includes my husband, & daughters 6, 16 and 19 year old love making new pet buddies and want to ensure that they are happy as can be.

I had a fantastic experience with Tara! She boarded our two cats at her home for about 10 days while my partner and I were out of the country. She and her daughters are so sweet, caring, and attentive -- I know our cats were treated like little princes while we were away. Tara made sure to send photos and videos to keep us updated on how the cats were doing. They were clearly in good hands and I would not hesitate to book Tara again for our next trip!

Tara sat Pen last minute and the entire process from inquiry, booking, drop off to pick up was great. Penn was happy when I picked her up; and I was happy she adjusted well to her visit. Will definitely use again!

Our pup Simba had such a wonderful time staying with Tara and her family. Tara was very caring and loving towards Simba and we instantly knew that we were leaving him in good hands. Thank you so much for watching him on such short notice! Looking forward to scheduling more pup sitting with you!

Tara was so loving and welcoming when I first met her even Bonnie was super excited. So was so happy and just cheerful to be around her. The energy made me feel comfortable and knowing that my Bonnie would be taken very good care of. And indeed she was. Hope I can continue to schedule more bookings with you in the future. Thank you so much out of the 9 people I contacted you were the only one that came thru and im grateful and appreciative for that.

Schedule

Pet care is an easy and enjoyable part of my daily routine. I set aside time each day for feeding, walks, play, and giving pets the attention they need. Caring for animals brings balance to my day and adds joy to my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm and comfortable environment where pets feel safe and loved. I follow their usual routines for feeding, play, and rest to keep things familiar. I give lots of attention, gentle care, and keep everything clean so each pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for.

A typical day

I like to keep pets active and comfortable with simple, enjoyable activities. For cats, that can mean playtime with toys or some quiet time and gentle attention. For dogs, we’ll go for walks, get fresh air, and enjoy time together. My goal is to help them feel calm, cared for, and content while you’re away.

It’s important for me to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. Details like feeding schedules, favorite toys, medical conditions, medications, and how they respond to new people or other animals help me provide the best care possible and keep them feeling comfortable and secure.
