Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH 🏡 Boarding • Walks • Daycare
I provide a calm, structured home environment for animals (dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc.) who thrive in a peaceful setting. As a work-from-home mom, I’m able to be present and attentive throughout the day while maintaining a consistent routine for the animals in my care. I have experience caring for a variety of animals and have learned the importance of understanding each animal's temperament and ensuring the right fit before every stay. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where our cat and your animal can relax and feel at home.

Ratings and reviews
Tara is a great sitter. My doggie loves staying with her family.
Tara was very kind and knew how to care for cats. Her family kept Koji from being lonely and he was safe. I would leave him with her again.
Tara took excellent care of my pups, she kept me updated daily and answered any questions promptly. I will definitely use her services in the future! Thanks again!
Tara was wonderful!!! This was my first time using Rover and she was great. Tara communicated well and often and provided updates about my dogs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies!
Tara is a great sitter. Excellent communication, outstanding care, and wonderful home.
My pups were so well loved and happy! I highly recommend Tara! She is very intentional about the care she provides, listening to care instructions and ensuring they’re implemented. Lucky dogs ( or cats) who get her care!

Schedule
Your animal(s) will be part of a calm, family-centered environment with a consistent daily routine. I offer a peaceful home that is best suited for well-mannered, low-maintenance animals who enjoy a relaxed setting. Dogs in my care should be: *Fully potty trained *Gentle and comfortable around children *Non-aggressive toward cats, dogs, or other animals *Able to enjoy time in a fenced backyard calmly *Comfortable being left alone for a few hours My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both your pet and my home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm, structured home environment where pets are part of our daily routine. Dogs receive frequent potty breaks and have access to a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule closely and do my best to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. Because I have children and a cat, safety is very important to me. I ensure all dogs are a good fit for a family setting and are comfortable around other household members. I prioritize calm introductions, supervision, and a low-stress environment for pets in my care.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with your pet includes plenty of attention, play, and comfort. Dogs will enjoy walks, backyard time, and play sessions to get their energy out. Cats will get snuggles, quiet companionship, and interactive play if they enjoy it. I’m home most of the day, so your pet will never feel alone or overlooked. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just curling up for a nap, your pet will be safe, cared for, and loved like family. I do leave the house for a few hours and will need your animal to be comfortable with short stays at home alone.
