Pet care experience

As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve been surrounded by furbabies for as long as I can remember. Right now, our home is a mix of three cats and two dogs—it’s a bit of a zoo, but we wouldn’t have it any other way! With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve turned what began as occasional pet care for friends into a job I genuinely love. I pride myself on being dependable, trustworthy, and committed to providing the best level of care for your pets. You can rest assured—they’ll be in great hands. My rates are fair, and I offer care for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, chickens, fish, and even hedgehogs. Dog visits typically include a quick potty break, followed by fresh food and water, any necessary care, and a final potty break after mealtime—plus plenty of love and attention throughout. Cat care involves feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and, of course, lots of affection. I’m also happy to water plants and feed fish as needed.

Was so happy to see pictures of Sadie so happy with Tara and the other dogs. I was actually worried she wouldn't remember me she was so comfy there!

Tara was wonderful with Dolly who was a little shy. She took great care of her and sent updates and pics throughout the day. Thank you so much Tara!

Tara was an exceptional sitter! She accommodated us at the drop of a hat when I had another sitter cancel last minute. She has a perfect home with fenced outdoor area for caring for fur babies. She was easy to communicate with with kept us up to date. I would highly recommend Tara!
