Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy to care for your pup!
Hi! I'm Tara. I'm a 44 year old dog/plant-lover originally from Pittsburgh. I live with a beautiful 10 year old 101lb. pup named Joe that I take care of everyday for the past 3 years. Maybe, you've seen us around! I have experience with dogs of all ages. I can follow an outline of your preferred routine for your loved one or create one, if you'd prefer. The dog is welcome to sleep with me on overnight stays, if you'd like. With me, your pet will be safe and well-cared for while you're away. Available for quick drop-ins, as well! I'm comfortable with giving Joe medicine, brushings, baths, nail-clippings, and tooth-brushings. I have great references from people that have left me in the care of their dog while away on vacation. Each dog was in my care for a week at my home and sent home happy. Prior to those sits, I lived with a roommate's dog for a couple of years. Currently I cannot host, but I am happy to come to you!

Safety, trust & environment
I'm more than happy to follow you and your pet's specific schedule. When pet-sitting, I take them out 4-5 times/day and try to give them a set of different routes to sniff in order to keep life exciting for them. However, a specific route will definitely be honored. I make sure that they are entertained and feel loved throughout the day.
Ratings and reviews
Tara has been so sweet to my dog over the years. He is a big dog, and set in his ways. She has won him over and built trust with him. He loves his walks with her, and is always very excited to see her. He will let her bathe him and cut his nails even though he is anxious about those things. Her approach to connect with dogs is admirable and I highly recommend her.
Tara was exceptional with my dog Coco. Coco has some aggression issues so Im always worried about leaving her in someone else's care but Tara followed my directions to a t to ensure that she was not in a situation that would trigger her. She also showed her a lot of affection and made her comfortable while I was away. I would absolutely use her again in the future!

Schedule
We have a 10 year old 101lb Weimaraner/Pit mix named Joe Biden. He's patiently taken out several times throughout the day starting in the morning. He's fed 3 times per day with treats and snuggles in-between, of course. I WFH, so I'm with him all day.
