Pet care experience

Dog and cat lover

I’ve taken care of many dogs over the past couple years. I’ve considered getting a big dog for myself, but I do enjoy watching them for awhile and then having them go back to their owners

Tara is amazing! She sends updates on how my pup is doing as well as pictures, and she’s super sweet. I will definitely continue using her in the future!

Tara was awesome with Miller! She provided me updates on how he was adjusting and was very communicative with me during his stay. I will definitely be using her again in the future! 😊

Tara texted us the same night after we dropped our critters off at her house to let us know they were doing great. She even shared sweet details about how they were reacting and settling in with her. If I ever need to leave them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them stay with her. As a former foster and someone who’s worked with a dog rescue, I can tell her heart is truly devoted to animals—honestly, I think she might even prefer their company to people!

Schedule

I currently work from home as a mortgage originator. I will be around most of the time for your dog or cat. I bring your dog for several walks per day (depending on the dog) and I have a yard. I only board one dog at a time, unless you own two dogs that need to be boarded. This way, your dog will get my full attention and you will not have to worry about your dog getting along with another dog.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 2 cats
Children 6-12 years old
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Safety, trust & environment

For dogs in my home, they be with me in my front room all day. I’d walk them several times a day, usually a mile or two depending upon the size of the dog. I also have a fairly large yard for dogs that like to run or play fetch.

Pets

A typical day

I take your dog for multiple walks in my neighborhood and will take them to the park (depending on the dog). I have your dog hangout with me in my home office area while I work. At night, I have your dog either sleep in their crate or they sleep on their bed.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only

Tara can host up to 2 pets per night
Your dog needs to be spayed or neutered (assuming they’re old enough) and preferably clean/ bathed and treated for fleas. I ask that you bring me your dog’s food, bed, toys and crate (if possible).
