Availability

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.

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.

Information Tara K. would like to know about your pet

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).

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.

Pet care experience

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 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! 😊
