Information Tara M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of time if your pup has any special requirements or needs. I am more than happy to discuss before we meet!

A typical day

I love keeping walks fun and enriching for your pup — whether it’s a game of fetch, a sniff-filled stroll through the park, or practicing commands with treats . I also enjoy getting great photos during our adventures so you can see how much fun your dog is having!

Tara M.'s Neighborhood

Irish dog lover on Upper East Side!

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup loves long walks, quick potty breaks, or just a calm stroll around the block, I’ll make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I’ll treat your dog like family and provide real-time updates, photos, and a summary after each walk. I’m comfortable with leash training, basic commands, and special needs dogs too. Let’s meet and see if we’re a good fit — I’d love to walk with your pup soon!

She is EXTRAORDINARY! Words can not do her level of professionalism and love of our dog Goose! She treated Goose and us just like family. She was kind and understanding...we tried to not be late for meeting which is hard in NYC with 3 children..She is the best fit for any situation!
