Pet care experience

I've been taking care of animals of all kinds since I was a child. I love seeing animals and their owners happy! Dogs, cats, exotics, and farm life! When I rarely get spare time, I also try to volunteer with our local wildlife rehabs! Getting exercise, enrichment and socializing are a huge source of joy in a dog's life. I personally have certificates in different styles of dog training and obedience and love teaching the basics. I enjoy learning about canine behavior, nutrition, and overall health. I'm starting to learn more about grooming basics as well! What I love most is walking with dogs and showing them the world.

Tara was amazing! The most responsible and professional Rover we’ve hired yet. You can tell she truly cares about your dog, as if they were her own! Highly recommend her and definitely will be using her for all future walks!

Tara is absolutely wonderful! She is so attentive to my dogs and is on top of all my older dog’s medical needs. She is very reliable and does a great job communicating with me. I will use her again and again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable to love on and care for their fur babies 🐶

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.
