About Tara M.
Safety, trust & environment
Creating a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care is my top priority. I understand that leaving your fur baby with someone else requires confidence and peace of mind, which is why I focus on clear communication, consistency, and attentive care from start to finish. My home and care approach are centered around providing a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed, secure, and loved. I take time to learn each pet’s routines, preferences, energy levels, and any special instructions to make their experience feel as close to home as possible. As a pet parent myself to a French Bulldog and Dachshund, I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, supervision, affection, and respect. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for every step of the way.
Home
Information Tara M. would like to know about your pet
Before care begins, I like the owner to share any important details about their pet so I can provide the best possible experience. This includes feeding schedule, medical needs, allergies, behavior quirks, favorite activities, and any commands or routines they already know. The more I understand about your pet’s personality and daily habits, the more I can make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day of dog sitting with me is all about keeping your pup happy, active, and loved like they’re my own. The day usually starts with a morning walk to get some fresh air, stretch those legs, and take care of business. After, we unwind with cuddles, water, and snacks (if permitted). During the day, I often take fur babies to my back yard to play fetch, play with toys, and enjoy fresh air! Evening winds down with lots of love and cuddles, dinner, and relaxed time to settle in. I make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and ready for a peaceful night. Every dog is different, so I always adjust the day to fit their needs, energy, and personality!

Pet care experience
With 8 years of pet care experience, I have developed a strong passion for providing safe, loving, and dependable care for animals. Throughout my experience, I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages, including puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets. My background includes daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications when needed, maintaining clean living spaces, providing companionship, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a proud pet parent to two fur babies, a French Bulldog and a Dachshund, who are truly my world. Caring for my own dogs has deepened my understanding of the attention, patience, and love that pets deserve every day. They are both very friendly with other pets and have helped me become even more comfortable creating positive and welcoming interactions among animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in creating a calm, attentive, and positive environment tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I am committed to treating every pet as if they were my own while maintaining clear communication and reliability for pet parents. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving exceptional care, attention, and affection.
Reviews
Tara is sweet, caring, and attentive. I have a 11 year old frenchie. She took excellent care of him. Thank you for caring for my baby so last minute.
I had such a great experience with Tara watching my 7-month-old Yorkie, Sophie. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay with lots of videos and photos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could genuinely tell she cared for Sophie as if she were her own pet. Sophie looked happy, comfortable, and well taken care of the whole time. Since then, I’ve continued using Tara for all of my pet sitting needs. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend booking her if you’re looking for someone trustworthy to care for your pet.
