Availability

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.

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

Information Tara-lynn M. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

When I’m caring for pets, I love to keep them active, engaged, and happy! For dogs, this includes fun walks where they can explore their surroundings, playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of belly rubs and attention. If they enjoy games like fetch or tug-of-war, I’m always ready to play! When I care for cats, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and entertained. I spend time playing with their favorite toys—like feather wands, laser pointers, or anything that lets them chase and pounce. I also give them plenty of love and attention (if they’re the cuddly type), or space and quiet time if they prefer it that way. Every cat has a unique personality, so I always follow their lead to keep them happy and stress-free.

Dependable Care for Every Tail

Pet care experience

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.

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.
