Tara was awesome! We got to go on vacation really being at ease that our fur babies were taken care of. I highly recommend her for your fur babies needs. She followed all our instructions with feeding, and she had a natural connection with our animals. It’s always a plus when you have reliable people taking care of your fur babies. Thank you for how you have helped us. ?

The first time I met Tara was at the preserve where she worked as an environmental instructor - God, it was almost 20 years ago. I didn’t really know her till we became co-workers since 2014. During these 8 years, I know Tara better: Tara is a person who I wish to be her-energetic, full of love, super busy but always have time for her family, friends, pets or animals. You can trust her, you can rely on her. Whoever becomes her friend is the luckiest person in the world; whichever becomes her pets (or temporary pets) would receive the most care and love ever. She is always the first person in my mind if my dog needs to be taken care of - no second thought at all!

You'll be thrilled to have Tara care for your pet! She is a very caring person. She has loads of experience with all kinds of animals. Since she was a little girl, she has always had a dog who is a part of her family. She is very conscientious and responsible. We have seen her interact with many different dogs and she loves them all...and they all love her! Don't hesitate to trust Tara with your pet's care!

Tara has taken care of my dog Roxy on numerous occasions. Not only is she responsible and trustworthy, she treats my dog like she belongs to her by showing her love and compassion. I would highly recommend her!

If it gets along with other dogs, and animals. (I have free range chickens) how does it do with walking on a leash? And what type of leash is used? How does it do with strangers in general? Is it okay for people to pet him/her? Does anything set it off? My dog was terrified of storms. Is there anything that comforts him/her in that case?
