Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Tara, and I am excited to be a dog-walker for Rover! I've always loved animals; I grew up with a childhood dog, Amber, who lived to be 16 years old, and about two years ago, my family got another dog, Elliot, so I've had plenty of experience with walking (and caring for) senior dogs and puppies alike. I've also taken care of my friends' pets when they've gone on vacation and helped rescue a dog in my neighborhood three years ago, so I am very comfortable with animals and genuinely enjoy taking care of them. I'm very active, so if a dog ever needed to go for a jog to get a little bit of extra energy out, I'd be happy to do so!

Tara did a great job dropping in on my cat, August. She made sure August was happy, healthy, and well-fed! I’d definitely work with Tara again!

My highly energetic big puppy loved walking and playing with Tara! She is a great and trusted dog walker/sitter. Incredibly prompt and put safety first on a hot day. She made sure my puppy got some playtime and extra love since my pup could not stand the heat! Will definitely schedule more walks!
