Information Tara L. would like to know about your pet

Inform me if your dog has any special needs. I am very use to administering medicine since I have a senior dog who’s had ear problems, eye problems, paw issues and arthritis so I was giving injections. Tell me if they like to walk in a certain direction or to a certain place.

A typical day

I love to walk at a large park we have in town. Also ,when allowed, I take my dog to the beach and boardwalk. My Shih Tzu loves to ride in the car so at times that’s exactly what we do. He also travels to our campground where we have an RV and he loves golf cart rides.

Dog hair is my best accessory

Pet care experience

I had a successful dog sitting/walking business in the past. I personally have raised and owned small ,medium and XL dogs from a dachshund to a St Bernard. I currently have an Italian Greyhound who is 11 and senior Shih Tzu who is 17 . I also have Golden Retriever, Beagle and Corgi grand-dogs who I have taken care of when their parents are away.

Brew has stayed with Tara twice now and she is the best sitter! He is treated like part of the family and loves spending time with Tara’s dogs. Tara is very communicative, always sending updates and photos, and so welcoming.

Tara was wonderful, thoughtful, and mostly a dog lover. Aubee was well cared for. We appreciate her and would highly recommend her.

Tara did a great job! She was on time, followed directions, and my dog was very happy when I got home. She also helped me out with a last second booking! Highly recommend.

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.
