Pet care experience
While you’re away, let them play:)
I've been a dog lover all my life and working in a vets office for over 20 years. I have 3 dogs of my own and 2 kitties and have always had pets growing up. (Dogs,cats, guinea pigs, goats, sheep, horses and bunnies). We would love to welcome your pet into our home as one of our own. :) There is no greater feeling than the love from your family, friends, and of coarse our pets. :):):) Your pet will need to be kid and dog friendly. Also I require them to be on flea and tick medications! My daughter is 16 (my mini me) She is following in my foot steps and I hope to b able to create this amazing business to hand over to her one day. My son is 19 and helps out if needed but has went off to college for now :( We will take them on at least one walk a day. Nice fenced in backyard and a deck to relax on. They have free roam of the house. Most importantly, they will receive lots of love and attention through out the day. We love snuggling with our friends. About this sitter: I've been working with animals for over 20 years now. It's always been my passion in life and my dream to have my own rescue. I am a single mom and have 2 amazing kids just trying to make a living doing what I love. We have 3 dogs of our own which are also are babies!!:):) We now have 2 kitties that are sweet as can be. I'm very energetic and I'm always keeping busy with something in life. To be able to be around dogs and cats all day is a blessing. Your pets will be cared for as one of our own. Why I love dog sitting All of my life. I grew up with animals. My parents were awesome by letting us have pets. I’ve always had a dog through out my life and knew as a child I wanted to be a Veterinarian. I've been a tech since I was in high school. About my yard I do have a nice size back yard with a fence. Very large deck with lounge chairs for them to lay out in sun and be lazy. My experience administering medication I do it everyday with my job so I’m very comfortable at giving medications if needed.

Ratings and reviews
Tara was such a blessing on this last trip. Communication was great as both dogs had issues. Tara has experience with pet medications that really is reassuring. Both dogs were great when we got home and very happy! I'm so glad she lives in our area too. We will be using Tara again when we go out of town. Thank-you Tara!
Tara always does a great job. Came back to both dogs relaxed and very happy! It really makes a difference that Tara lives in the same area! Will be booking for another trip soon.
Tara took great care of Lacie. We were gone for 2 weeks and she communicated with me and sent pictures so that I felt comfortable about how Lacie was doing. I will definitely ask Tara to care for Lacie again in the future.
Tara did a great job watching our pug Mia, keeping us updated and informed on the status of our dog. She was very diligent in communication and shared daily photos. Her house was exceptionally clean and it was evident our dog was at peace being at her place. There were other dogs present in the house, but it seemed to make for a more social experience for our dog.
Tara is wonderful with my 4 year old English sheepdog. She is patient, a loving caretaker, very organized and responsive. Tara gives my pup lots of exercise and attention (both of which he needs) and takes the necessary time to prepare his homemade food. She sends photos and videos and my buy always looks happy! Clean and brushed when I pick him up. Tara is a fantastic boarder! This was our third time and have three more bookings with her, so far! Thank you, Tara and family for taking such good care of our baby!
Tara did an amazing job watching our babies. I totally appreciate the short notice and still being able to take care of them. She sent videos, pictures and updates. She also went above and beyond, and dropped our little man off at the groomer. If I could give her more than five stars, I totally would! If you need a good sitter to watch your dogs and someone that's going to care for them.Tara is the best! I will definitely use Tara again when we need a sitter.

A typical day
I have a one street subdivision that we walk our dogs every day. We have a lake with concrete sidewalk all the way around. Pets are always on leash and always supervised Your dog's sleeping arrangement Where ever they want to sleep, but we like the dogs to be with us. My kids always have to have a dog sleep with them so that's never an issue. Time I'll spend with your dog Whether it's me or my 2 kids, your dog should be with someone a majority of the day :)
