Safety, trust & environment

I'm not nosey, or judgemental. Life be lifing sometimes- I don't care if your house is spotless and don't expect it to be. I've got two kids, two dogs and a husband- my house looks like it! I've never met a pet I didn't immediately want to play with and take care of, and pets tend to feel the same way about me.

Information Tara M. would like to know about your pet

Every pet has their quirks. Some dont want their ears touched, some don't like sudden movements or loud noises. Some are just slow to warm up. Pets are all unique and should be treated as such.

A typical day

I follow your pets lead. Want belly rubs? You got it. Snuggles? I'm in. Run through the house and play tag? Cardio time! I even have a dog that loves hide and seek!

I volunteered at a local vet clinic through high-school and college so I'm familiar with basic pet care. I've worked with large and small breeds and enjoy pets of all kinds! I'm even down with spiders, I just wont take them for walkies.

Tara was super helpful and available to us last second! Had patience with our little old man and gave him lots of belly rubs! Thank you again for being awesome!
