Pet care experience

Pet care for your furbabies.

Pets aren’t just a part of my life—they are my life's baseline. ​For over 40 years, my golden rule has been that a house is not a home unless there are exactly two dogs walking around in it. Having a dual-dog household for four decades means I’m a master at managing different personalities, refereeing playful tiffs, and ensuring there is always enough love (and treats) to go around. ​If you are looking for a sitter who treats your furry family member like absolute royalty, you’ve found your match!, Reliable, dependable and flexible.

Tara was great with our pups while we were away for a long weekend. The dogs loved her and she took great care of them. One of my dogs was on a hunger strike and she was great checking in with me and trying various things to get him to eat. Very pleased!

Tara is the best! I was very nervous about trying this for the first time, but my worries were eased when we met her ahead of time and relieved during her stay. I received regular updates and knew my girl was in good hands. I came home to a happy dog and I am a happy dogmom having someone I can trust to care for my girl.

Tara raises the bar for pet sitting! She took such good care of our pets and our home while we were away, and was really communicative during our trip. My dog has a nervous personality but she took to Tara right away, and was so calm and happy when we got back. Looking forward to booking her again!

Schedule

For house sitting services I provide overnight care in your home and maintain your pet's normal routine. I may leave throughout the day to go to work to run errands, family time etc. I always ensure your pet receives the care attention, meals, potty breaks exercise and all the snuggles they may need throughout the day. If your pet requires a constant care schedule, please discuss those needs prior to booking. I work full time during the week. When we are away we do not want them to be stressed.
