Personalized Care For Your Pets

Hello there! My name is Tara and I’m a homeschool mom to my 3 boys. I currently have an 9ish year old German Shepherd rescue, named Sullivan, but I have been around and taken care of animals all of my life. Everything from cats, ferrets, and dogs to lizards, fish, and turtles. I’m absolutely in my “happy place” when in the presence of animals. I am Pet CPR Certified! My experience includes caring for, walking, playing, feeding, cleaning up after and giving oral medications. As a fur-mom, I know the importance of providing individualized care and vow to treat your pets as if they are my own. The happiness and safety of your pet(s) are always my top priorities.

Tara is amazing! She treated my cat like her own and I will continue to book her over and over. :))

Tara is a lifesaver! We had a short last minute trip and she was able to come take care of our little old man while we were gone. Fantastic as always!

Please let me know any (dietary or medical) needs your pet may have. What is considered normal behavior for your pet? Please list any emergency contacts along with your veterinary information so your pet can receive the appropriate care in a timely manner should such an event occur. How does your pet interact with others (people and other animals)? And any other information you'd like to share to ensure I can provide THE best quality of care for your pet!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
