Information Tara H. would like to know about your pet

I do require a kid friendly pet. Other than that, I have worked with all types of dogs! Any allergies or behavioral issues would be great to know ahead of time.

A typical day

I love to be outside! We'll get lots of outside walk/run time. We'll find all the best sniff spots. Being a stay at home mom, I have lots of time for cuddles and belly scratches.

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs since I was a little kid when my dad trained dogs for field trials. I adopted a shelter dog with behavioral issues and had her for over 11 years until she passed last fall. I am great with dogs that pull or have leash aggression. I would love to take care of your pet until we're ready to adopt the next addition to our family!

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Tara Hale for any dog walking opportunities. I have had the pleasure of knowing her for 15 years, and during this time, I have witnessed her deep love, care, and understanding for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Tara has had dogs her entire life, and her natural ability to connect with them is truly remarkable. She is patient, reliable, and extremely attentive to the needs of every dog in her care. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing, or simply providing companionship, she brings a calm, confident energy that dogs instantly respond to. She treats every dog as if it were her own, and her dedication to their well-being is evident in everything she does. I have no doubt that any dog—and any dog owner—would be lucky to have her as a walker and caregiver.
