Would definitely recommend!! Tara watched our 2 small dogs for a long weekend last month. One of our dogs is 15-years-old, blind in one eye, hard of hearing, and on 2 different medications, and it's hard for me to leave her with anyone. I felt so comfortable with Tara throughout the process - from booking to pick up. Tara was flexible with us when we needed to adjust drop off and pick up times, sent cute pics throughout the weekend, and when an issue came up while we were away, Tara let us know right away and was super helpful in figuring out a solution. I hope she is available when we need someone to watch them in the future!

Tara took great care of Porter and kept us well-informed about his stay while we were gone. She was very complimentary of him, which helped us feel like he was fitting in well with her family and other animals. Tara took some amazing portraits of our guy, and even shared a few videos of play time. We're very happy with Tara as our sitter and will definitely be contacting her again for a future stay!

Tara took wonderful care of my pup over the weekend! She gave regular updates and sent plenty of pics to show Luna was having a great time. I would happily have her watch my dog in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and friendly animals in my home. I do require that your pet has been around cats and won’t chase them since I have 2 cat’s living in my home. Dogs that have moderate to low energy will fit in better with our household. In addition to me caring for your pet, there is 1 other adult and a 17 year old that also help care for pets.

Information Tara L. would like to know about your pet

Please fill out your pet profile prior to requesting boarding that way I can make sure that your pet is a good fit. I need to know if your pet has been around cats before and that they are well potty trained. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors so I can better care for your furry family member. I am very comfortable administering all types of medications if your pet requires them.

A typical day

I can provide a loving environment for your pet and enjoy going for walks/hikes. I spoil our pets with numerous toys and enjoy playing fetch with them. Or just snuggling on the couch or bed. Our dog Maverick loves playing with new friends and he will entertain your pet as well!
