Reliable friendly dog lover

Pet care experience

30 year old dog lover living in Richmond. I I grew up with dogs from aged 8, we went through 3 generations! We had 5 litters with two of them and it was an incredible experience to grow up with. I love dogs so much but it’s not the right time for us to have one of our own, so I’d love to help out to whoever needs it. We often dog sit for my partners family dogs, and my sisters’ dogs. Very confident looking after and caring for dogs and would love to have a furry friend join me on my daily walks.

Tara was amazing! We we so lucky to have found her. They gave Coco so much love and attention and we got lots of updates and photos whilst we were away. Can’t rate them highly enough! Coco was sad to leave them!!

Tara and Jacob were fantastic from start to finish and are highly recommended. Great communication ahead of the booking, friendly and flexible with a change to timings. Tara sent some reassuring pictures of their time with Baxter, who was collected looking well and happy. We hope to have him stay with them again.

Tara has been surrounded by dogs since she was a child, loving their company and being responsible for their care when needed. She is an excellent dog Aunty to our pug Hugo. Indulging him with cuddles on her lap (despite him being horrendously hairy) and letting him lick her sweaty legs after a run. In all seriousness though, whenever we have needed Tara to look after Hugo for a day/week we know he will be well taken care of, following his walk/meal routine and comforting him if he’s a bit unsure.

Tara is the person you want looking after your dog. She’s endlessly patient, genuinely loves animals, and treats every dog like her own — reliable, attentive, and full of care. You’ll get updates, photos, and total peace of mind while you’re away.
