Pet care experience

Experienced dog and cat lover!

I have over 6 years of experience working in kennels caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. Along with several family friends and people in my community that I have sat for many many times. I have special training in providing medications in any form (Pills, ear/eye drops, topical medications, insulin injections, etc) and training/experience working with dogs of all temperaments (anxious, aggressive, energetic, reactive, etc.) I have a true passion and love for working with cat and dogs but am at not a point in my life where I can get on of my own, so I would love nothing more to spend some time with your fur baby!

Tara is a family friend of my aunt who connected the 2 of us. She has watched our 2 year old doodle Poppy several times over the last year and we have had zero complaints. She always keeps us updated on anything going on and sends us tons of pictures! I can tell that she truly does love my dog and puts a lot of time and effort into her care when she has her. Every-time we ask her to watch poppy she responds promptly and enthusiastically and when we drop off poppy they are always so excited to see each other! I could not speak highly enough about Tara and her petsitting, and always refer friends and family to her!

Schedule

I am currently finishing up at school at Michigan State University but am commuting from my hometown for this semester. Fortunately I only have to be up in East Lansing for a couple of hours 2 days a week, and I am investing the rest of my time into my online classes. This has left my schedule pretty open for the upcoming months and I will be spending majority of my time with your pet during their stay! For those interested in boarding, I do live with my parents and a sibling, but they all love to have furry visitors and your pet is guaranteed to get an abundance of attention!

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for someone else's pet I truly treat them as my own. I have great relationship with all of the clients I currently sit for and their pets. My main goal when sitting is to make sure that both the owner and the pet are entirely comfortable while they are in my care. To do this I try to create a very open line of communication and send frequent updates and pictures and make sure to ask questions rather than guessing how to care for someone else's pet.
