Loving Family Care, just like home!

Pet care experience

I have owned and loved dogs since I was a little girl. I am so excited to be able to open up my home to your pets, and hope they feel right at home with us. In our family we had three small dogs, Sophie (Maltese), Max (Biewer Yorkie), and Tucker (Biewer Yorkie). Sophie and Tucker have both passed since starting boarding, but Max is still with us. We have experience with medically needy pets, Max and Tucker both had genetically caused seizures, and Sophie had a heart condition requiring medication 2x per day. We will take great care of your babies. Our house is out east on acreage, but have a fenced in area for potty breaks. I am home full time during the day to allow for frequent breaks. We are able to separate a room in our home if needed if your pet needs down time or prefers to be alone, or to feed separately. We do have two small children, so any visitor will need to be non-aggressive. Any interactions between child and your pet will be monitored. Our son is very gentle and loving with our dogs. I do public meet up for drop off and pickup for my guests, I have chosen to not allow people to come to my home. Please know this when booking. Please feel free to reach out if there are any questions!

Cecil really enjoyed his vacation with Tara, Justin and their beautiful kids. Cecil was intimidated by kids before his vacation and now interacts with them calmly. He misses scavenging beneath the high chair! We will be asking Tara & Co to care for Cecil at least twice more this year…thru Rover of course. We are really very pleased 😁

Tara took good care of Emi over the weekend. She sent us pictures showing Emi was happy and get along with other dog there. Will definitely send Emi here again as needed.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
