Enthusiastic, reliable pet friend:)

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog when I was younger, and have always been a huge animal lover. After graduating from college, I worked at an animal shelter as an animal care and adoption specialist where I also fell in love with cats and adopted two of my own. I have also received my certification in Pet CPR and First Aid which has made me comfortable and confident in handling various chronic and emergency health conditions in dogs and cats. Looking forward to meeting you and your best friend(s)!

Tara accepted my walk request on late notice, and very courteously took care of my dog. She had great communication, sent cute pictures , & locked up after leaving. Thanks!

Tara is just the absolute sweetest and truly an animal lover at heart! It was so reassuring to find such a responsible and responsive sitter for my senior cat. She sent updates at every visit and the most adorable pictures. Seriously, I think you could have a career as an pet portrait photographer! ? I’ve already booked her again for a longer trip and I know my cats will be in the best of hands!

Starting in our own home, pets are a part of the family and they should be treated as such. Every pet in a home deserves some love and attention while the family is not around and im happy to be there to provide that.

Information Tara M. would like to know about your pet

It is always good to give me a heads up of any medical concerns or needs in advance! Happy to accommodate any of these and I'll feel comfortable managing these conditions.

A typical day

When watching dogs, I think a good balance of playtime and snuggle time is important unless the particular dog prefers one heavily over the other. Happy to be as active or relaxed with the dog as you'd like.
