Pet care experience

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.

My husband and I were very happy to find the Rover services and extremely co nfident finding Tara to take care of our 2 dogs. She was very professional and very kind. I feel like I really got to know Tara before we even left town. We had constant updates & pictures. We were no t concerned at all while we were gone. Tara was wonderful and we will get in touch with her again the next time we leave town. Thank-you Tara

Tara was absolutely WONDERFUL! She took such good care of my Indie and updated me every day. She made everything so simple. I didn’t have a single worry while being away from my pup.

Tara went above and beyond to take care of my kitten! Even in the face of emergencies on her part, she makes sure no matter what that your fur baby is looked after!! She was also available when I needed her or had questions! My kitten will definitely be going back when she needs to be looked after!

Information Tara J. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences but I do have 2 kids, 3 dogs and 2 cats. Need to make sure they are safe. I have a 4 lb chihuahua that I worry about another dog hurting so those would b my main concerns I would ask. Also, will need to be in flea and tick medications!

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 :)
