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 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!
Tara and family are amazing! Tara sent pictures of Bailey every day. When we dropped Bailey off that first day we knew she'd do well. This is the first time we've left her (usually at a kennel) where I haven't cried. We're already planning another trip and plan to leave her at Tara's again. I'm so happy I chose to go with your company! Great experience!
I've worked with Tara two times now; she and her family are wonderful, kind, and trustworthy. My dogs have loved spending time with them.
Tara was a great host for my cat, Hester. She was accommodating when I asked her to watch my cat for another night than previously planned. Very friendly and kind. I have no objections to having her watch Hester again in the future.

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.

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.
