Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Tara, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs and cats through overnight stays and drop-in visits, and I’m comfortable adapting to your pet’s routine and individual needs. If your pet requires special care, medications, or extra attention, I’m happy to discuss this beforehand. My home includes two friendly small dogs, and I live in a quieter area with access to nearby parks and walking trails which is great for exercise. I’m insured, prioritize safety, and provide attentive care with regular updates so you can have peace of mind while away. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or a calm environment, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member!

I absolutely love Tara! I was blown away by how much her and her family cared for my pup Barnaby! This was my first time booking with her and I will definitely be a repeat customer! If you are looking for someone to treat your pup like family and know they are loved and Safe Sara is the kne to book! Barnaby was anxious at first since it was his first time being boarded but Tara did wonderfully working with him and eventually earning his trust! She sends updates with pictures throughout and responds quickly to any messages! Overall a truly amazing experience and definitely worth it! I wish I could give her a higher rating honestly! 10/10 will definitely be boardinf with her again! 😁

We got home to our front door unlocked, both water bowls empty. Our cat has two enormous water bowls. One was dry, and the other had a few centimeters of water in it. I am honestly shocked because the updates and pictures I got made me feel like everything was going great.
