Pet care experience

We will love your dog like our own!

I take on caring for sweet puppers in my spare time. I am a stay-at-home-mom to three sweet boys, 6 and under, and we love to play with pups and go on walks with them 💖 My partner, Travis, will help care for your furry friend if I must run an errand while your dog stays with us, but I will be the primary caregiver. It is very rare that we are all out of the home at the same time, and if so, it is never for long. I am comfortable administering medication as needed. I can care for any breed, however, some I cannot watch in my own home. I love tiny floofs, big lap dogs and everything in between. I have had a number of pets throughout my life and have loved every second of being around them. Pets are an important part to any family, big or small, and we look forward to looking after your pups and ensuring a safe, loving environment for them to thrive in while you are away. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you and your pup! 💖 -Tara

We had a wonderful experience with Tara as our dog sitter! She was an excellent communicator, keeping us updated throughout Charlie's stay. Her sweet nature and the love she showed for our pup were evident, and we could tell Charlie was having a great time. Her adorable children also adored Charlie, which made our hearts smile. We truly appreciate the care and attention they all gave him. We highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!

I think this is our fourth time with Tara. My furry baby Mojo was about a week at her home, and exceptional care was provided for my dog! Tara's home was warm and inviting, creating a loving atmosphere. My dog was treated like family and received personalized attention. Highly recommended!

We had the most wonderful experience with Tara, who took care of our baby Mojo at her home. I could tell she genuinely cared about my dog's well-being. Her home was warm and inviting, and the presence of her three small kids created a loving and lively atmosphere for my furry baby, and her kids showered my dog with love and attention, making them feel like a part of the family. I was thrilled to know that my dog was in a safe and nurturing environment. Tara was incredibly responsible and ensured that my dog's needs were met, from feeding to exercise and playtime. She used to send Mojo's picture frequently which made us that my baby is enjoying his time with her family. My dog has never been with any other dog sitter except Tara, and he is going to be nine years in next month. Even though she moved a little far from my home but still it's worth driving to her place instead of trying a new caretaker for my baby. I wholeheartedly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy dog boarding experience. My dog came back happy and content, and I couldn't be more grateful for Tara's exceptional care.

I absolutely love Tara. My husband says he gets the warm and fuzzies with her. She’s a great communicator and I love hearing from her and her boys! It makes my day that Parker fits so well into their family. I call them his second family ❤️

I am currently a stay-at-home-mom to three boys, 6 and under, so I am almost always home to hang out with kids and pups! The boys LOVE to go for walks, so we have no shortage of outside time - weather permitting.

The only things I really must know before a dog stays in my home is whether or not they have any aggressive and/or destructive tendencies or if they are escape artists. Also, please keep in mind that we have three boys 6 years old and under, so jumpy dogs may not be the best fit for our family.
