Your dog's new best friend!

Pet care experience

I've grown up with and have been expected to care for all sorts of breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as dogs with special needs (I used to own a senior dog with arthritis).

Tara was great with Walden her again! He is always happy to hang out and seems comfortable in her home.

Tara was great with our Marley! Took her on plenty of potty breaks as she’s an older dog and even accommodated our late pick up as our flight was delayed a couple hours coming back from our trip. Thanks Tara and hope you can take care of Marley again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a two-story house with plenty of space for your dog and can easily set up a doggie door for stairs or a crate if they need it. There's no yard, but there's a park nearby and I live in a quiet/safe neighborhood where people are frequently walking their pets. We have no pets of our own at the house.

Information Tara J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, dietary restrictions, etc! I’m very happy to accommodate them and their needs. Again, I’m WFH so I can be extra attentive.

A typical day

I love to hang out and play with dogs! Not only will I engage them with any toys they like (ropes, squeakies, balls), I also love to go on long walks or runs. There’s a gorgeous regional park near me that I’m sure they’ll enjoy.
