I have known Tara for over 30 years and she has been an animal lover the entire time. I have watched her raise and love several dogs over the years, and see her respond with kindness and love to any dog she meets. Tara has raised three amazing humans and I know that caring for dogs and helping people out would bring her great joy now that her kids are all grown up and her current dog is aging. Tara is an incredibly responsible person. She does what she says she will do, and you can always depend on her. She is a professional project manager and has great attention to detail and a respect for schedules. She has had a dog as long as I have known her and understands their needs and is in tune with things when they do not seem right. She in very respectful of others and very trustworthy. I would completely trust her coming into my home and caring for my dogs. Please feel free to call me if you would like any additional information. I am excited for Tara to have this opportunity and even more excited for the lucky people whose dogs she will care for.
