Caring, active, dog mom+pet sitter!

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for animals since I was a preteen. My family has always had kittens, and I regularly dogsat for my neighbor’s 3 dogs. I now have 2 dogs of my own, both who were rescues. I adopted Avi when she was 2, and this past fall adopted Nugget who was 3 months old at the time. Both of my dogs are very well trained, and I am more than happy to continue your training routine while caring for your pets!

Tara was amazing! She was so willing I to help out last minute and was great with updates and clear communication with me. She was also very patient with my dog and I so appreciate her! I will definitely be working with her again!

Hi! My name is Sydney Higley and I would love to recommend Tara as a pet sitter to whoever is looking for loving care for their fur babies. Tara does not only have two dogs herself but has experience working with other people’s animals as well. She cares about the well being and happiness of the animals she is looking after and makes sure they are given the best care. Another reason I would recommend Tara is her responsibility. I trust her to follow through with the set schedule and with access to my home. She is easy to contact and responds quickly!

Boarding - I have a large fenced in backyard for dogs to run and play! I also have 2 dogs who will keep your pup company, but they are both crate trained so they can be put away if you have an animal who likes their space. I have a spare bedroom where animals staying with me will have their own space. Drop in care - I am willing to drive anywhere within the Rochester radius to take care of your pets, and will do whatever you are comfortable with! If you want someone to stay for a while to hang with your dog, I will do that, or if you’d prefer simple drop ins I will do that as well! (I am not available to stay at your house overnight to pet sit as I need to be home with my animals. For overnight care I will leave at night and return in the morning).

Information Tara H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, and what kind of physical activity they can tolerate. Also anything specific I need to know about your home or neighborhood.

A typical day

I love the outdoors, and will match whatever energy level your dog has! Whether is a slow stroll with lots of sniffing, or a run around Quarry Hill! I also love to take dogs to a large open field, put them on my 50ft leash, and let them run and play fetch!
