Pet care experience

Dependable Care for Every Tail

I’ve been pet sitting through Rover for over a year, and I’ve been fortunate to earn the trust of many wonderful pet owners. In addition to my Rover experience, I’ve spent years caring for dogs for family and friends, becoming the person they rely on when they need someone dependable. I’ve cared for my sister’s diabetic dog, carefully following medication and feeding schedules, and I’ve looked after my in-laws’ dogs while they were away, making sure they received plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or needs extra medical care, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be safe, comfortable, and well cared for with me.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, walks, medications, or playtime—and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I give them plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and send updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. My goal is to treat your home with respect and your pet like family

Tara was great with our cats. She made sure that they had everything they needed, while respecting their shy natures. Tara was also extremely communicative, thorough, and responsible. It was a great relief to know that Bart and Walnut were so well looked after while we were away.

Tara-lynn was amazing! She stayed at my house with my two kittens and gave great updates! She came out before I left so she could meet the cats and get the lay of the land. She was also very flexible with my schedule. I would 100% have Tara-lynn stay with my babies again!!

Tara was wonderful! She did a great job taking care of all our animals while we were away. She ensured everyone was fed, had clean water and took their medication. We will definitely be using her again!! Highly recommend!

Tara-lynn is great! She did drop in visits for my dog and 2 cats while I was away for a few days. My dog Kayla is getting older and has some extra needs, especially when her normal routine changes. Tara-lynn took care of everything and the house looked great when I got home. I will definitely be booking her again soon.

Tara-Lynn is the best dog sitter I've ever had. She took excellent care of my dog Lola and sent me plenty of pictures. She also did not leave any trace of a mess in my place.

Tara-Lynn was amazing with my dogs. They felt comfortable with her after a short period of time and she took great care of them while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone who is nervous about leaving their babies as I was - she kept me updated and sent pics. I truly appreciated that I was able to relax and enjoy my time away without worry when it came to my boys.

Schedule

Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for alongside my full-time job. I’m currently available during evenings and weekends, and I’m committed to giving every pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, administering medication, or simply keeping your pet company, I provide dependable, personalized care based on their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m based in the Granville area and primarily serve Granville, Hartford, and nearby Vermont communities, making it easy for me to provide reliable care close to where I live and work.

It’s important for me to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. This includes their energy level, favorite activities, and whether they’re shy, nervous, or reactive in certain situations. I also like to know if they have any medical conditions, allergies, or need medication. For walks, it’s helpful to know how they behave on a leash and how they do around other animals. The more I know, the better I can care for them like they’re my own!
