The ulti-mutt dog lover!
Pet care experience
I love dogs immensely, and even though they aren't mine, I'll make them feel as special as possible! I take time to make sure each dog receives as many belly rubs I can muster up, and ensure they eat and go out when necessary. I love playing tug-of-war, and snuggles on the couch are just as fun! I have pet-sat for a few families for the past four years. I have a dog of my own, so I understand dog behaviors quite well. I love taking my dog on walks, so I'll love taking yours for walks, too! At the end of each visit, I'll leave by treating your dog with a smile and a cookie!
Reviews
Tara has had dogs her entire life and has been a responsible dog owner by always treating them lovingly, caring for their well-being by walking them, feeding them, as well as taking care of them in difficult times. She has had experience dog sitting other people's dogs of various breeds and temperaments. Overall, she is a great person to trust with your dog because she will love them as if they were her own.
I recommend Tara as a dog sitter/walker. She has watched my dogs often through the years and my pups are always happy to see her! Tara is dependable and responsible and I have peace of mind when placing my precious pups in her care.

Your fur baby is just that - your baby! I will do everything I can to take excellent care of your pup while they’re in my service. At your home, I will be sure to check that everything has remained tidy and that your pup is where they’re meant to be. At a meet and greet, I like to see where your dog eats their food, uses the bathroom, and where they’re allowed to be while I am not there. This gives both you and me a chance to set some expectations and create more comfort while you’re gone! I treat each dog as if they’re my own, giving extra love to every pet.
Information Tara M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. I typically request doing a formal meet and greet prior to the service date so I can get to know, your dog, their routine and required needs so I know what to expect during my visit.
A typical day
I love to spend time with each dog and stimulate them physically and mentally. I love to play fetch and would be more than happy to do so in the backyard or in a local park. If space isn’t available for a game of fetch, playing tug of war is always fun! On walks I let the dogs sniff everything out to investigate their surroundings. I love going around the neighborhood or going to a local park for walks so it’s someplace new.
