Availible for long term sits only!

Pet care experience

My name is Tara and my partner Shane and I have been caring for both animals and homes professionally the last seven years. In that time we have cared for over 500+ animals and 75+ homes. We have volunteered with various animal rescues, such as Fresno Bully Rescue and farm sanctuaries in California. We both enjoy the outdoors, vegan cuisine, traveling, a minimal lifestyle and being involved with animals. I believe it's important to point out, we are respectful of all animals! We are not interested in partying, drinking, drugs or smoking. You can rest assured your pets and home will be in both responsible and caring hands. Our availability is open! We both work from the comfort of our laptops; This allows us to spend the day with your pets, maintain any daily routine they may have and keep a close eye on them. House Sitting - We travel all over for house sitting jobs. We offer special rates the longer the stay. Contact us to discuss further. Services we offer during our stay: - Pet care (Feed, water, walks, and play) - Water plants - Take out trash (Includes taking the cans to the road) - Collect mail - Maintain the cleanliness of the home - Keep the home secure and safe - Peace of mind Please keep in mind that we do travel with our small 9lb dog, Little Bear. He is completely house trained in all aspects and keeps to himself. There are occasions when Shane and I will split up due to having multiple bookings. It's definitely a possibility that Little Bear may not be with one of us. Due to allergies, No indoor cats, please! _______________________________________________________

Tara, as usual, was wonderful. We hope our dog mom travels soon so we can have Tara stay with us again. Wylie and Mia

If I could rate Tara ten stars, I would. We have had her stay with our elder dog regularly for two years now. Tara is dependable and efficient. Our beagle loves her! She communicates frequently and is not hesitant to ask questions. When she stays at my house, I never worry...the dog is fed, walked, and loved AND the mail is brought in, the garbage put out, and sheets, towels are laundered. Who could want more?

Let’s just say WOW!!! This was my first time using Rover. Let’s just say Tara and Shane are truly Amazing. I had a bit of Anxiety leaving my dogs at first. Then I received pictures and an update of Ziggy and Kojak? Tara sent daily pics and updates which I absolutely loved.... Then I was able to enjoy my vacation. Tara and Shane really put me at ease. They really took such amazing care of my precious pups. Now it will be much easier going away. I am definitely using them again. If I could give them a 10 Star I would. When I got home I had a Vegan snack which was amazing. Was nice not having to cook?. They truly are amazing such loving people...
