Highlights
Pet care experience
Teacher by day, pet sitter by night
****As a teacher approaching summer break- I will soon have more daytime availability! I AM AVAILABLE FOR HOMES ON THE ISLAND BETWEEN LAVALLETTE AND ISLAND BEACH STATE PARK in addition to Toms River. Just check my calendar as I have a few trips planned for myself. About me: I have had dogs growing up my whole life. I have two rescues of my own. One was abused and is reactive so I am capable of understanding your dog’s love language, even when others have not in the past. One of my dogs has had ACL surgery twice so I am also familiar with basic doggy care when they are not feeling 100% (I am not a vet care specialist and am not certified, just familiar with the experience as a dog mom). I am a former rugby player so I consider myself able to handle larger strong dogs that others might be timid about.

Safety, trust & environment
At the end of the day so many of these sitters will tell you how much they love animals. That is also me but, I will also give you peace of mind about your house while you are not home. I am a full time teacher so you know I can handle time management and responsibilities. I have a reactive dog at my own house so I only do visits at a clients own home. Reach out about what you need for your pet so you are mentally stress free while not at home! In the past I typically dog sat for co-workers while they were on vacation or helped my neighbors. I normally do not stay overnight at homes, but if it is only one night I would consider it.
Ratings and reviews
We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received. Tara went above and beyond, kept us updated & provided pictures with each visit. We’d gladly trust her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
Very attentive and helpful! Gronk loved her visits and I got an update every time. She spent time with my lonely boy and overall super happy with her service and attentiveness!
Tara was fantastic. She loved our pup! Thanks for a good birthday visit, Tara.
This was our second time using Tara and she was absolutely wonderful again. We have a shy cat. She is very patience and gentle when watching her. Tara also goes above and beyond when she is here. We appreciate her so much
Always so kind and my doggies love her!! Gives great and detailed updates
Tara was a pro taking care of my cat! She asked all the right questions including things I didn’t think of. She was very communicative and I knew that my cat was well taken care of while I was away.

Schedule
I teach locally so the app does not tell you that I can start visits as early as 2pm on school days! My weekends and school holiday/vacation time periods allow me more time availability for your pet. Send me a message with requests if you are unsure!
