Personalized Care For Your Pets

Pet care experience

Hello there! My name is Tara and I’m a homeschool mom to my 3 boys. I currently have a 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 a great sitter! She’s reliable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares for the animals. I know they are in good hands when we are away- thank you Tara!

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.
