Pet care experience

First Rate Dog Auntie

I've grown up with many dogs, and have taken care of other's pets many times. We lost our sweet boy Gilbert in 2021, and though unable to commit to another adoption yet, I very much miss having a dog in the house, so I am hoping your dog can be my part time furry friend! I only sit for one family at a time, so your one or two dogs will be the only animals in the house, and recieve my full love and attention.

Tara always does a great job with our pups. She communicates quickly with photos and videos, would definitely recommend!

Tara is always great with our little anxious guy. He's warmed up a lot more too with each visit 😁
