Highlights
Pet care experience
Stand-in fur mama available!
Hi! I’m a devoted pet parent to three dogs and one cat, so I know firsthand that pets are family. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care tailored to your pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, enrichment, training reinforcement, or simply companionship, I’ll follow your instructions closely and care for them like one of my own. I’m comfortable with different energy levels and personalities, and I have a big soft spot for cats, too. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, happy, and loved.

Ratings and reviews
After needing to take an unexpected trip out of town, I was lucky Tara was willing to watch my critters last minute. She was super understanding about everything and they were super happy and healthy when I came home.
Tara is amazing! Finding someone to help out with a puppy is not an easy task, but she is always willing to come by and do drop ins, even last minute. Our boys are always very excited to see her and are super comfortable with her. Both our boys are large breed dogs that most people would shy away from, but Tara is great at taking the lead with them. We also have a complicated feeding schedule, as one is an adult and the other is only 4 months old, and we feed half kibble half fresh food. She does a great job with detail to their feeding needs.
Very responsive and punctual. Got along well with my dogs and was kind and easy to work with.
Tara is our go to sitter! She's been incredibly generous in accepting last minute bookings and always sends fun photos during her visits with Marmee.
Awesome job and would highly recommend. Will be the first contact to when we need help watching our dogs while we are away.
We were so happy to have Tara staying with our two cats. They were very happy and healthy when we got home, and Tara sent updates and adorable pictures every day. The house was also clean and well-taken-care of when we returned. She even left us with framed photos of each of them! Looking forward to having her stay again. Thanks!

I work weekdays from 8 a.m.–5 p.m., making me a great fit for pets who are comfortable during a typical workday. I'm fully available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I maintain consistent communication and care throughout every booking.
