Experienced vet tech!

Pet care experience

I have worked with pets for over 20 years as a dog walker, groomer, managing large boarding kennels/ dog walking services and now as a vet tech and hospital director at an ER and speciality hospital. I can provide your pup with the extra T,L,C they need while you are away=) I'm able to provide a safe and fun home away from home for your fur-babies! I have two basset hound/ lab mixes who love other dogs. We are happy to open our home to your pooch!

Tara is by far the best sitter my little baby has had. I was nervous because he’s such a little guy but she did such a good job with making sure he (and mainly me lol) was comfortable. He was treated like he was her own dog and easily fit right in with her fur babies! All my future sitting needs will be with Tara and I suggest you consider as well!

She charges a little bit more than others in the area, but definitely worth it! My new (second) dog is an adult rescue and has some behavioral issues that we are working on with the trainer. Tara was great with them both and they were clearly happy in the daily update photos and videos. We did a long meet and greet with her dogs beforehand to make sure everyone would be comfortable.
