Pet care experience

Passionate about pups!

I'm an experienced dog owner and foster of more than 100 puppies and older dogs of varying breeds. I love them all for their unique personalities and quirks. I promise to treat your dog like my own...who are members of my family. I will walk, feed, exercise, and bathe your pets as well as dispense medication and communicate with you frequently via text and photos. I'm also willing to take in mail, packages, water plants, put out trash and other tasks associated with being out of town. I am familiar with having to rely on someone to care of your favorite furry friends, and I want to give you peace of mind while you are away.

Tara was great with Piper - sent us pics and even let her sleep in the bed with her. Treated our dog like family.

Murphy is so scared of fireworks. Tara ensured he felt safe and comfy during his stay over NYE.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and two dog- and people-friendly dogs of my own. I give guest dogs full access to my downstairs area (hardwood floors and slate) but I will also crate train at your request. Dogs are permitted on the furniture in my living room and if you prefer they can sleep upstairs in our bedrooms in- or outside of their crates. My own dogs have free reign of the house and the yard with supervision. In your home I will follow whatever instructions and preferences you establish.

Pets

A typical day

We will eat, play, and cuddle. Depending on the weather and needs of your pet, I am happy to walk them in our neighborhood or play with them outside in our fenced yard.
