Pet sitter & vet tech all in one!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Tara and I am a dog enthusiast with 20+ years of veterinary experience . As a technician I am very comfortable in caring for any special needs pets, administering medications, or recognizing and deal with any health concerns while your are away. I have dedicated my life to serving animals and their humans. I love caring for dogs so much I began to pet sit on the side. I am a big fan of cesar milan and one of his quotes is "a tired dog is a happy dog" so daily walks on our 12 acres, frisbee, ball, swimming, basic training, and some agility obstacles and training are all offered at my home. My husband works from home so either he or I are home 75% of the time so your dog will get a lot of attention. If you would like me to go into your home, you can trust that whatever kind of mental or physical activity your dog needs, or if it's just snuggling in a chair, I am there to make sure your dog is a happy dog while you are away. Every dog is different so to help me customize his or her care please let us know of any history of health problems, exercise needs, aggression issues, anxiety, or any other pertinent information. I also require a meet and greet before a dog stays with us just to make sure it's a good fit for everyone.

Could not be more pleased with Tara! I’ve never left my pups before and thought I’d be very nervous. After meeting Tara my nerves were not a problem, she’s both caring and competent. I’d recommend her to all.

Tara & John are wonderful. They are very patient, calm, and understanding of every dog and their humans needs. They provided a very comfortable place for Gypsy during her stay. Lots of trails & walks needed for a very active dog with lots of energy. Gypsy was safe, comfortable & cool during some very hot temperatures. They also care for and administer to dogs with special needs as we witnessed during our visits, one blind with diabetes. We would recommend Tara & John to care for any pet. We will certainly be taking advantage of these great caregivers again soon & often.

Nice and easy to work with, Tara and John were great! They kept me updated and even sent pictures of Remi's stay.

I have hired Tara several times to have her care for my dogs when I am out of town and also walk them. She has made it possible for me to leave town and not worry about my animals; which are like family to me. I have had pet sitters before and not been happy with them but I am 100% sold on Tara.
