Quite PAWsibly the Best Pet-Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Tara, and I'm a recent graduate from Texas Tech University. I received my BA in Political Science and Psychology. I am currently a first year law student at UNT Dallas. I live in Uptown, walking distance from the Katy Trail. I'm an avid runner so if exercise is an important part of your pet's routine, even better! I don't remember a time in my life not being surrounded by animals. From training my husky agility tricks, to competitive horseback riding in my later years, animals have always played a big role in my life. I have cared for animals such as small dogs (Dachshunds), large dogs (Siberian Huskies), birds, and horses. I routinely petsitted for many families in my neighborhood and developed a routine for each family based on their particular needs and the needs of the pets. I typically visited each household three times daily, providing walks each day. I do have past experience taking care of senior age dogs, both with my own and other families' pets. I own a 2-year-old Siberian Husky/Australian Shepherd mix named Duke. He is fixed, UTD on shots, and has never shown any aggressive behavior towards another animal or human. He LOVES to play fetch and tug of war so your furry friend will seldom be bored. I would love to meet your furry friend, and I hope you consider me for your pet care needs :)

Tara was great with my girls. I received a few updates while I was away. The girls seemed to enjoy their time with her. She's very sweet and attentive to detail on my needs for the girls.

I couldn't be more pleased with Tara and the great care she provided for my puppy Ms. Higgins this past weekend. The dog sitter I used regularly thru DogVacay was no longer available and I had to start the search for someone new to take care of her. I contacted Tara and she responded almost immediately. We scheduled a meet n greet for early the next morning and scheduled to drop Ms. Higgins off the following day. She provided me with updates thru out Ms. Higgins stay and I knew without a doubt she was being well taken care of and one happy little puppy. Thanks Tara & I'm sure we will see you again in a few weeks.

Information Tara M. would like to know about your pet

I have dealt with many breeds of dogs including Dachshunds, Huskies, Terriers, Hounds, and Weimaraners. I love big and small dogs equally! Before sitting your dog, I would like to know of any pre-existing medical conditions and dietary concerns. When it comes to watching children/animals, I've found you can safely change one of these three elements at a time: their surroundings, their diet, or their activity. Before watching you dog, I would like to be made aware of their typical feeding times, feeding method, and exercise plan. I would also like to know if your dog has a high hunting drive, and whether small dogs would pose a problem. I want your pets stay to be as comfortable as possible and for it to feel like a home away from home!
